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

And they're just casually zapping Muggles left and right with the equivalent of a massive dose of GHB, over and over again, with no consent and no due process or anything, as "cleanup"

Kinda weird that Obliviate *isn't* one of the Unforgivable Curses, like the more you think about it the less it seems like it's any better than the Imperius Curse *at all* It's exactly as effective a way to violate someone's consent

Well, I'd note that as best I can recall they never once use it on another wizard or witch. Muggles though? Pffft! That's fiiiiiiine!

Oh, of course, apart from Lockhart trying to use it and zapping himself.

Yeah Lockhart did it to a bunch of other wizards in order to steal their life stories and that was in fact treated as an atrocity But that's because he was doing it to special people to steal their specialness
