      You find out that this drug forms a pathological addiction cycle with many people with disordered, impulsive behavior -- the natural system of "regret" we have that keeps us from acting in hot blood on violent urges can be short-circuited with this drug

      And, because people have *seen* your answers to Gail's question and know that you have a tendency to say "If he doesn't remember doing it then it's like he's a different person", deliberately take the drug for this reason, as a moral defense

      Because when you're fucked up and you're really mad at someone all you care about is that they get the shit beat out of them, not the satisfaction of remembering that you did the beating The drug giving you a mind-wipe and letting you expiate your guilt is all upside

      People deliberately start whole communities, subcultures around taking a Jekyll and Hyde potion so Mr. Hyde can come out and do the things you really want to do and Dr. Jekyll can argue with a straight face he's not responsible for any of it

      (Psst drugs like this really exist, with varying degrees of effectiveness, and are used for this purpose all the time It may not be the *best* such drug but the oldest and cheapest one is called alcohol The culture around getting drunk to hurt people is thousands of years old)

      It's a big question, isn't it There's the whole thing about reading a news story from the 1920s about a guy who drove a car through a storefront and killed a bunch of people, but his lawyer got it pled down to a lesser crime Because everyone saw he was extremely drunk

      This is significantly better than most plot devices that are about mind alteration of some sort... Interesting.

      We're normally against stories that magnify the Jekyll and Hyde trope, because that trope is horrible representation that has done a lot of harm to the plural community (since long before we were a community). Interesting take, still.

      My hot take about Jekyll and Hyde has ALWAYS been "The magic potion is just booze" If you remove the whole science fiction aspect of the story and just say the potion is alcohol, the whole thing becomes a completely normal thing that happens ALL THE FUCKING TIME

      "Some famous rich guy turned out to be going downtown at night dressed all different and doing awful things to sex workers Ended up with a girl getting killed They said he always showed up totally loaded, he seemed like a totally different guy"

      Like the story about, say, Emile Hirsch trying to strangle some woman who worked for the studio at a party He claimed he'd been slipped some unknown club drug, other people said this was a lie to make it seem less bad and he was just drunk as usual I'm not sure it matters

          And him being like "Everyone who knows me and knows what I'm about knows this doesn't reflect my values or the person I strive to be" Well, everyone who knows you sober, sure

          Yeah. So there's a moral issue that comes up in practice for people with dissociative memory issues, because we, you know... can choose to forget things, more easily than people without those issues.
