That book was extremely Mature-themed and BDSMy (she tries to break his mind by alternating the pain ray and the orgasm ray)

I didn't realize the books ever dealt with sexual themes at all, guess I stopped early

They don't is the funny thing, because it's YA the "pleasure ray" is described in non-sexual terms even though that's what it is

Which really makes it worse since that means papering over a serious consent violation

Well it doesn't make the pleasure ray a good thing, it's explicitly a tool of torture, she wants to addict him to it

Her whole torture technique is causing the person to mentally associate pain and pleasure w the torturer to break their will etc

She's a cool character and one you could do a lot more with in dark fanfic

The idea of the Yeerk and the host completely losing track of being separate identities is cool even if Applegate is prejudiced against kink

They even fit the dom/sub stereotypes - the Yeerk was a deeply insecure bureaucrat, the girl was an Alpha Mean Girl with a hidden trauma

Their merging gives the Yeerk it's missing confidence and her the ability to view her trauma from outside and process it

Making them one perfect monster who then inflicts that trauma on others as their only way of feeling agency and power
