Now Viewing: altered_common_sense

Tag type: General

A character in the image satisfies all following conditions:
1. They are doing something abnormal.
2. They understand what they are actually doing.
3. They consider their actions to be perfectly normal.

The tag can also be applied to the inverse situation where the character is hypnotized into believing that a normal action or situation is abnormal.

Condition 2 and 3 require explicit evidence, for example text from dialogue, thought_bubbles, or captions. Otherwise, it may be that no altered common sense has occurred and so the tag doesn't apply.
Simply obeying commands doesn't constitute as evidence for condition 2 or 3.

Examples:
- A character takes off all their clothes because "it is normal to take clothes off in hot weather even in public".
- A character is naked outside, wondering "why are the passerbys wearing clothes outside".
- A character is asked to give a blowjob with someone they wouldn't normally, and they reply "sure".
- A character is having sex in the classroom because "it is normal to practice sex in sex-ed".

Counter examples:
- A character takes off all their clothes because "my body is moving by itself?!" would fail condition 3. This is an aware subject that's under body_control.
- A character naked outside, wondering "It's cold even with all these clothes I'm wearing" would fail condition 2. This is altered_perception instead.
- A character commanded to give a blowjob and they reply "yes master" mindlessly, that would fail condition 2. This is mindless obedience. (No tags for this, though usually they are expressionless and empty_eyes)
- A character showing visible confusion during sex would fail condition 2. This is confused instead.
- A character standing naked with a blank expression does not satisfy condition 2 by itself.
- A character hypnotized into craving sex does not satisfy condition 3 by itself.
