{{quote|''"Somewhere on Beta Colony there is an institution. In one room of the institution, there is a man who spends his days and nights screaming at things that only he can see. Things we planted in his mind. They have to [[Fate Worse Than Death|keep him in a straitjacket twenty-four hours a day]] or [[Eye Scream|he'll claw his own eyes out]] just to make it stop."''|'''[[The Corps Is Mother|Lyta Alexander]]''', ''[[Babylon 5 (TV)|Babylon 5]]''}}
 
A character is attacked by a villain in the most painful non-physical way possible. Their mind and [[Our Souls Are Different|soul]] are assaulted with painful, horrifying visions and memories, and broken until they're [[Heroic BSOD|powerless]] and [[Convenient Coma|numb]], but [[Empty Shell|not dead]], although afterward they [[Fate Worse Than Death|may wish they were.]] No sexual contact occurs, but everything else is there to resemble a rape - violation of private parts, helplessness, and the corruption of what could otherwise be a source of joy.
Line 15:
The less said of the things that are created when this trope meets [[Rule 34]], the better.
 
Can be a possible cause of [[I'm Having Soul Pains]], and can function as a [[Stupidity -Inducing Attack]]. Any character pulling this has little or no [[Mind Over Manners]]. Heroes will try to protect themselves from these by entering [[Heroic Safe Mode]] or trying out some [[Brain Bleach]].
 
Compare [[Fate Worse Than Death]], [[Subtext]], and [[Villainous BSOD]]. [[Logic Bomb]] is what happens when computers (or [[Straw Vulcan|really rational people]]) experience this due to encountering and being confused with mindscrews. Contrast with the [[Care Bear Stare]], which assaults the target with happy thoughts, like [[Tastes Like Diabetes|rainbows and stuff]].
