as a communications major I have a lot of thoughts on manipulation vs persuasion esp within this fandom. all I’m saying is if y’all see me in the fall taking extra office hours to discuss minecraft roleplay, no you don’t.

#this isn’t even all I WNATED to say but eh #THE ISSUE IS THERES NO ONE DEFINITION AND MANIPULATION ALONE IS SO BROAD #IF YOU TRY AND CHANGE ANYTHING ABT SOMEONES THOUGHTS OR ACTIONS THAT IS MANIPULATION TECHNICALY #ETHOS PATHOS LOGOS? MANIPULATION. DRESSING NICE FOR AN INTERVEW? MANIPULATION #PERSUASION AND MANIPULATION ARE INHERENTLY LINKED BUT ONE IS VIEWED AS AN ABSOLUTE MORAL FLAW AND I HATE IT #IT ISNT!! INHERENTLY!! BAD!! #AND EVEN IF IT IS YOU HAVE TO BE TRYING #IF YOU DO SOMETHING THAT INFLUENCES SOMEONE ELSE NEGATIVELY WITHOUT TRYING THAT ISNT MANIPULATION THATS JUST A BAD OUTCOME #BC YOU WERENT!!
