How do you ethically use telepathy as a superpower without coming off as a freak with no standards?Xavier is one of the more moral ones and even he uses the dreaded childhood trauma beam from time to time.
>>154645376>Xavier is one of the more moral ones and even he uses the dreaded childhood trauma beam from time to time.its pretty easyjust treat the trauma beam as a last resort weapon instead of your first
If I were Xavier I'd insert false memories in Magneto's head of his uncle touching him.
>How do you ethically use telepathy as a superpower Use it ethically>without coming off as a freak with no standards?Not your problem
I don't see how using mind bullets to disorient and freeze people is unethical, its basically just flashbangs and a taser on tapIs giving someone a nasty migrane in a battle really such a bad thing?You could also put them niggas in a genjutsu tooI'd say everything short of the commit suicide beam is permissible
Xavier was a giant dick in the comics, as of late.
>>154645430>I'd say everything short of the commit suicide beam is permissibleWhat if you force someone to cum?
>>154645430What about the "turn them trans" beam?
>>154645466Jean, you've gone too far...
Once people around you know their minds can be probed in, paranoia sets in and shit gets awkward at the very least. Unless your mind power is obvious like a massive glowy aura on your head or a noise comes out like an annoying buzzing lamp, that's why you will train to make your power SEEM obvious, and that's how you get them.
Just focus on innocuous stuff that is technically not that bad but you cringe at it from time to time and can't handle it, like the time you said something stupid or made something dumb as a child. Increase the intensity 10 times until it is so distracting you can't function.Technically powerful and a childhood drama, but not fucked up enough to be antiethical.
I'd enter a coffee shop and make everyone fart at the same time and then leave so they're all stuck with the smell.
Kind of off topic, but I just thought, the guy who played Metamorpho with alopecia could look decently like Professor X, if he was given fake eyebrows and blue contacts.
>>154645503I'd make Trump knock up whooping coldberg
Can Xavier cure autism? Can he GIVE people autism?
>>154645538kekk
>>154645553He can give people AIDS. It's not related to his powerset
>>154645376Accept that there is no ethical use of telepathy and refuse to use it unless circumstances demand it be used.Even with someone that has provided full trust and consent it still feels like an unconscionable breach of privacy
>>154645376>Xavier is one of the more moral oneslmao
>>154645553Assuming Autism is as fundemental to a given person's character as their age and gender is, it'd be temporary at best, eventually the autism would resurface.
>>154645602Compare him to someone like Emma or the Cuckoos or Cassandra and he's a fucking saint by comparison.
He cannot give, but can squelch boners.
>>154645616What if you just made them think they don't have autism and force them to act the way they think people without autism act?
>>154645616No it wouldn’t that’s retarded
>>154645617Really not a high bar to clear. Emma's a gaslighting narcisist that used to run with the BDSM NWO and Cassandra's a genocidal maniac who had homicidal urges in the damn womb.
>>154645695NTA but that still makes him one of the more moral ones
>>154645675He'd be forcing an autist to for instance; maintain direct eye contact while not treating the stress/pain that follows. It'd basically be Behavior Adjustment Therapy To-Go. Also pure suffering.
>>154645466Isn't that the same thing?>>154645457Sneeze cum fart at the same time?
>>154645466That’s just discord
>>154645768>Sneeze cum fart at the same time?Yeah. Do it a news anchor.
>>154645376Never delve into their heads unless permitted. Empathy getting a sense for how they feel is permitted I believe. But using it against someone is wrong. Like noticing someone is physically weaker or how to hurt them and then using it against them on purpose is bad. Make getting surface thoughts and accidental thing or something that's done only in dire situations or if they are in need of real help.Even then they are in a ton of danger as they share in their pain.They can get false thoughts or surface level nonsense that everyone has, like static on a television screen where each point of static is an individual thought feeling notion or physical sensation. Or having a thousand songs all playing at once. I think telepathy should be the equivalent of talking to someone as if they are in the same room but not using words. And projecting or reading personal emotions with the words or instead of the words. It should be treated as a burden and a danger, not a whatever you want mindrape ability. Jean and Xavier being in terrible pain from using it and being in danger from using it was the correct choice in the cartoons. I think telepathy should be treated with more respect and seen as a very rare and horrible power.
>>154645616Nah I'm autistic, and I'm fully aware of it tooIt's not as easy as just turning it off, I have a lot of sensory issues but don't want to be a sperg walking around with such glasses headphones and gloves all the time so I just thug it out the best I can I'm not a recluse by choice, I just feel physical discomfort being around noises and bright lights And I also lack the ability to manage time on my own and really need another person to help me with these things I get decision paralysis over such minor things like should I make a cup of coffee, comb my hair, or start my laundry first And I will be fully aware that I'm stuck in a spiral, and can tell people I'm having a spiral so they can try to get me situated, but I can't end the spiral on my ownI'd need to literally remove myself from the situation and try again Autism sucks bro, legit neurological disorder
>>154645741>that still makes him one of the more moral onesmaybe by Marvel standards
>>154645884Which are what we're discussing
>>154645910>Which are what we're discussingOP never specified Marvel you retarded autist he just used Professor X as an example of his idea of one of the more moral ones
>>154645948Which he is
>>154645376>How do you ethically use telepathy as a superpowerHang around places where politicians, lobbyists and other elites hang out like Davos, read their minds then give journalists and the police anonymous tip-offs to expose all the shady shit they're doing. You become a one man ethics watchdog. Could probably bring about world peace.
>>154646100Anon, do you actually believe that those politicians won't have training/psionics/tech/demons protecting their minds? Really? That the bodyguards don't have a demon/mage/psionic protecting their minds and secrets?
>>154645376As a child of the atom, you would owe it to science to develop your powers to their limits and keep good records of your experiments.
>>154645376Well for starters, you could numb someone's pain so they don't go into shock.Could also use it for crowd control so people aren't trampling over each other in a panic.Mostly support shit.
>>154645376>>154645376https://files.catbox.moe/gr48hm.mp4
>>154645376Find a mutant who's kind and empathetic, but has a limited set of telepathic powers to serve as my advisor and keep me in check. I'd go around acting as a traveling therapist/guru/healer, only using my powers to render powerless the irresponsible, dangerous, and selfish members of society. Never to be used to kill or injure permanently.
Just have them show basic fucking respect for mental privacy and not go poking around in other people's heads without permission.
>>154646884this is basically standard for every non-evil telepath alreadynot just for ethical reasons, though thats obviously a welcome benefit, but also to create a reason for why the team telepath cant solve every problem in 20 seconds by reading peoples minds and it makes moments where they do forcibly rip information out of someones mind more notable, since it draws attention to how often they could do this but deliberately do not
>>154645412Kek
>>154645492Always mentally project the glow illusion when your powers are “active.”
>>154645376I guess it's understood that "reading people's minds without consent" is unethical, but WHY? Who agreed that it's bad?
>>154645771Lmfao
>>154647546breaking into peoples houses to read their personal information is illegal and immoralbreaking into peoples minds to read their personal information is only legal by lack of precedent, ie. no one in real life has mind reading, but it would be extremely immoral and the moment someone is proven to be able to read peoples minds legislation to limit its use would be created 20 seconds after the first crime with it is committed
I was thinking the other day if I had the ability that people will do whatever I tell them to do, how long could I live high on the hog before ruining myselfAnd then I was thinking what if it was all living things will do whatever I tell themAnd for a long time people would think my ability is to control animalsBut then one day the twist will come when it turns out people are animals and I could do it to them too and just don't
>>154647522>this is basically standard for every non-evil telepathMotherfucker, even the ones who are ostensibly good do it too.
>>154647546>I guess it's understood that "reading people's minds without consent" is unethical, but WHY?How would you react if a telepath read your mind and told everyone all of your embarrassing secrets?
>>154647560>breaking into peoples houses to read their personal information is illegal and immoral>>154647931>How would you react if a telepath read your mind and told everyone all of your embarrassing secretsAnons, for your own sakes, don't look up XKeyscore and PRISM.
>>154645376>Makes you attracted to five year olds beamOh shit
>>154645376Plug into the second controller port.
>>154645391Yeah
>>154645376Self imposed mental blocks such as not being able to read a person's mind without their consent. But that neuters a telepath when it comes to reading an enemy's mind. It's one of those powers that's hard to keep ethical unless the telepath is explicitly against abusing their power 100% of the time. And even then any rational person would wonder if it's happening anyway and they're made to not know.
>>154649898You should probably wear some kind of warning label badge plainly identifying your powers, too, so the flatscans have even a chance to try guarding their thoughts or avoiding you and the freakshit alien intelligences you attract from the astral plane.
>>154645376I'd put people that ask me to sleep. Like you have a 14 hour shift ahead of you tomorrow. It's midnight and it doesn't look like you'll be able to sleep for another 3-4 hours. I put you to sleep. You sleep 7 hours and you're at least rested for your double shift. Also, I'd offer to remove silly phobias. Like people irremediably afraid of insects even though those tiny spiders are pathetic. I'd keep fear of the big ones, but fear of the tiny ones is so counterproductive and stressful. Finally, I'd do the thing where you have no clue where you left the keys. I'd scan your mind and tell you real quick where you left them.
