The scenes of Hermione mind raping her parents are so offensive and so many people just shrugged it off as "welp, it was for their own good."

"Mind raped" she rewrote 16 years of their lives to remove herself and the Wizarding world and shipped them off to Australia without consent. It's a monstrous act that's basically handwaved as protecting them.

Would make a pretty good black mirror episode middle aged married couple just moved to Australia and they keep getting this sense that somethings missing there's a gap in the story. Until they find a single photo in a box of stuff and it all unravels.

I'm not sure they'd be in any fit state to even look in a box. IIRC the Muggle at the Quidditch World Cup is explicitly confused by the amount of Memory Charms performed on him by skilled adults, so a 17 yo ripping out 16 years... they ought to be vegetables, really.

This is a very old black comedy joke, it's famously a major running gag in Men In Black, and it's why I love the fic that pries into the casual use of "amnestics" on the SCP wiki But yeah, it's... funny how casually they let us know Obliviate can cause long-term brain damage

I read a book (I want to say by @pAtchSavage87?) where the amnestics are uh... let's just say they're real-world technology that very effectively, very permanently, and very mechanically erases memories.

they're guns, the amnestics are just the government murdering the people who know the bad thing

Ha ha so In the original Men In Black comic, the MIB are way, way darker and more obviously villainous than in the movie Agent K, in particular, is a character who grew jaded and nihilistic long ago and now sees the power he wields as a toy

The MIB are perfectly willing to just dispose of witnesses the old fashioned low tech way, with a bullet to the head The neuralyzer is for... special circumstances

The one big time we see it used, it's when they have to cover up evidence of an alien landing on Earth, after a teenager has already gone through the whole ET thing and bonded with it and went online telling his story etc

K first goes back in the kid's mind to the past to erase everything he knows about aliens and the MIB Then goes forward and plants a compulsion to, at a certain date and time, bring a gun to school and shoot a bunch of students and himself

"Insurance", he tells a shocked J If you can't completely suppress a witness' testimony then plan B is to discredit them as thoroughly as you can Although this particular means of smearing his reputation might be, so to speak, overkill
