So it was innapropriate to ask, after all. I apologise for mu stupidity in interfering in what could be something dangerous. It did occur to me later that this might not help. It also occured to me that I may have overestimated the situation and that I was in no position to make such a call.

Again, I am sorry to impose such a thing on you (and potentialy on him too). And I should have realised that there are rules to this and you can't just treat people nilly-willy, on a place that's supposed to be 'off time'. I'm sorry. As of this post, he seems to be doing a bit better (going to minigolf and all). But to better explain the context.

I was talking to some folks from here on Discord, until he comes up with something he found on 4chan related to MGE, which read:

"Generally speaking DE doesn't fully change the personality otherwise shit like manticores learning that going to far hurts their husband wouldn't be canon. If it did mindflayers wouldn't even need to exist because that's their whole shtick.

It'll tweak it here and there but a manticore constantly emotionally and psychologically assaulting you will cause damage which is something they learn once they get a husband.

A reality warped doesn't need to learn that lesson. Unless they actively decide on their own whim to go out of their way to learn that lesson they'll never hit that development point because they can just keep going and going and going and once you stop being responsive either mentally or physically they can just warp reality namely in and around your body back to its original state before she did any of that and off you go for a nice day in the park.

As for "why would a mamano cover their tracks". Who knows. A mindflayer might like a happy husband that's genuinely happy to see them who respond in a genuine and loving manner. She might also like some disturbing psychological oriented BDSM shit that only a memory editor could perform that would forever ruin the thought and memory that husband has of her should it be employed on him. So all she has to do is wipe the event and replace it with flowers and butterflies and tomorrow morning he'll wake up, roll over, see her, and smile and she'll smile back at her loving husband because that's the kind of husband she wants and the life she wants rather than have someone constant faking it ever day and flinching when they don't act well enough.

There's also things outside just bodily harm that can occur with reality warping that can't be "fixed" with DE as it's not a physical injury and bodily changes take time, I Have No Mouth And Must Scream kind of things.

[...] Mindflayers, manticores, hellhounds, and dark elves exist off the top of my head and they KNOW what they do is hurtful. They just either reel it back when it crosses a certain point or flat out change your personality to like it.

This would be no different as it would just be another predator type that KNOWS it's better and is willing to exercise it then make sure no actual negative consequences happen for anyone. It wouldn't even be the most intrusive one either because you just wouldn't notice the occurrences whereas theres ones that will just walk into your house and call it home while actively brainwashing the residents, your extended family, friends, neighbors, etc. Into thinking she's your wife before forcibly marrying you then inviting couples to your home to watch and you may or may not have been brainwashed similarly during this process. Theres active kidnapper types to that just flat out swoop down out of the sky, claim their yours, then assault you till your will breaks.

At least this way you both get what you want out of it and you get none of the negative consequences of it because it arguably never happened in the first place."

Apparently he was reading yet MORE discussions on how MGE is, you guesed it, grimdark (even though said people who discussed weren't necessarily against MGE). He said that these sort of things make him ponder for unhealthy amounts of time, that it nags him on his mind and even made him doubt things, talking about 'finding something you hate/dislike and researching it more and more as to better understand it' as far as I could figure out. Most of his replies looked this:

"I'm going to admit, I might be coming off with a skewed interpretation of MGE as a whole. At least, I hope I am.

[...] its these sort of comments that I feel like I spend an unhealthy amount of time pondering over, and its these type of things that linger in the back of my mind when I think about stuff I want to interact with MGE about.

[...] I'm not really sure if this is a cynical misinterpretation or somebody whose really in the 'Needs Psychiatric Help' spectrum trying to impart their kinks into it. Or should I stop reading to far into this. What do you guys think?

[...] For some reason, whenever I have something I detest, I end up peering further into it. It nags on my mind. I don't know what it means."

As it seems, he was talking about how human psychology is not perfectly understood, that it changes in short periods and how abuse is okay (from Mamono) because 'they always make up for it later', or something. Of course, we advised him to not heed these things, not to worry over them and for him to avoid 4chan, if at least for a while. However, the last thing that got me worried was this:

"Its kinda how I started off with MGE a couple years, I started off, and still do, with the intent on driving some sort of conclusion that didn't settle with rape.

I don't know, it didn't bother me at first. Overtime though it did and now it just spiraled... It bothers me now. I got OCD out the ass but it was manageable a couple years ago, and I feel like when looked into MGE I have become more and more unhealthy in the brain. I don't really know what to do.

I know this isn't the place to discuss this shit, I'm a stranger and I wouldn't blame you if you see or start seeing me with a '30 foot pole'. I'm just bitching".

I'm really sorry if these are massive walls of text; this is the context I could get. If I got alarmed over nothing, then I'm more than happy to remove these posts and go on like this never happened. I apologise for the trouble; I just wanted to help.
