Near Lurker:
Admittedly, talking to Yay is kind of moral zugzwang.
Farideh:
TIL what 'zugzwang' is. My vocabulary has been extended! :D
At least Roko tried, and she has a point. Yay could've gotten a very different result if they had tried this approach on someone less obliging.
sitnspin:
In a sense, Yay is correct. Persuasion is a form of manipulation and it does involve exploiting people's emotions.
Jimor:
I have never gotten into a more heated argument with other writers than when I said it was the primary *goal* of a story to manipulate the reader into feeling what you want them to feel.
Just because it's a loaded word doesn't make it less true in a lot of circumstances.
Tova:
I think it was on Cinema Therapy that it was said that the thing that filmmakers and therapists have in common is that they both manipulate you into feeling things.
