>the author sanctions the revelry to follow
Many of the works indulging on hypnosis do feel like this to me. Even the dialogue hints at it VERY explicitly sometimes. A way of punishing the reader as well, who just as the hypnotized character does, discards their ego, their unique personality and possibilities and just embraces the pleasure. There's a sense of 'giving up' when the personality is erased, of not being able to come back to what they once were, and since they feel they can't belong anywhere or search for deep intimacy anymore, the soul 'dies' and they end up as toys.

Even when the personality doesn't die, there's a sense that something important was lost; I think body modification comes to represent all of that. The girl loses part, or all of her soul potential. One doujin I particularly dislike shows that partial damage and it still stings; the repercussions are that the girl's new body, which becomes more like the deity of Hathor (fertility, motherhood, cow archetype), interferes with her daily life, duties, and the training that would have eventually allowed her to reach mastery and power, becoming her 'own Master'. And it's because of flippantly giving on to her own weakness, because she trusted others guidance blindly instead of struggling with her own inner doubts herself, which is something that completely goes against that touhou character real personality.

>what can't be devoured will be violated, what can't be violated will be destroyed and then violated
Yeah, to make them fall they have to play on that shadow element of their personality, that's the key. The characters are well balanced in canon. Alice is secluded because despite wanting to help others she doesn't fully trust the 'urban'. She's well guarded and has her natural defenses. The other doujin I mentioned works in the same manner. The author just 'destroys', or pretends those ego defenses aren't there in the first place, and that's how they degrade them and impose their lust/violate them.

>worse stuff than 'death' of the original personality
With this I meant explicitly tentacles, as I've mentioned with furui. I've been struggling with what they represented for a while, but just today I've come to finally understand it. Tentacles are the result of the shadow element of the second enneagram of personality. What should be selfless love, ends up as a completely selfish 'love' in which the tentacles represent the wish to give a greater pleasure than anyone else, to take care of the girl's every need and make her fully indebted. In exchange, the girl belongs only to the tentacles, and in some cases, if they don't establish a mutual codependent relationship in which they exchange nutrients or nutrients to produce offspring, she ends up vored and completely consumed instead. Honestly you might be right. At that point death might be a kind of mercy, even when compared with the hypnosis and sex toy ending.

I remember some anon in a thread a couple months ago analyzing some aspects of hypnosis and forced intrusive thoughts, was that you?
