EMCSH: The Beach that Makes You Dumb

This post discusses and links to fetish fiction that features sexually explicit writing involving mind control and violations of consent.

A shorter, sillier one this time.

Old, directed by M. Night Shyamalan, is largely remembered as that movie about the beach that makes you old. I do not know anything about the plot of the film other than it features a beach that makes you old. I don’t know anyone who has actually seen it or cares about it at all other than the jokes that it spawned. It’s quite possible that you’ve seen memes about the beach that makes you old without even realising that they were inspired by a movie from an Oscar-nominated director. If you are not familiar with this then the most popular example is probably this video that it uses neural network generated voices imitating Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro.¹

The beach that makes you old is just a very funny phrase and so it put a smile on my face when I came across a story by Mesmerciless titled The Beach that Makes You Dumb. As a work of fiction The Beach that Makes You Dumb is a fairly standard bimbofication fetish story—two recent high school graduates get directed to the eponymous beach and find themselves gradually changing in a way that is initially subtle but quickly alarming, finding it more and more difficult to think as they get turned into stereotypical, blonde bimbos. What sets it apart as a great shitpost is the use of a device not normally found in prose: As Faith starts to realise what’s happening, there’s a titlecard drop:

“I think this beach is, uh, doing stuff to us. It’s turning us into, um, like, sexy, lezzy bimbos. Or something. And, um, I think it might be making us…dumb?”

“Dumb?” Eva repeated before breaking into titters. “Like, what are you even talking about? Beaches can’t make you dumb.”

“Uh…” Faith paused, momentarily confused. Her bestie was right: beaches couldn’t make you dumb. Could they?

Wait, no! Focus! Faith had to focus! She had to get out of here, before she was too slutty and stupid to know better.

This feels right out of a Youtube poop. It’s great! I love how people treat this specific niche as playfully as any other artistic medium. The Erotic Mind Control Story Archive itself is thirty years old this year. People have been iterating on and playing with these stories for a long time and will continue to do so.
