That is why the countdown (Galacta’s "5-4-3-2-1") is so insidious. It is the audio cue to shut off your higher brain functions. It signals: "Stop thinking. Start reacting. The time for decision is over; the time for obedience has begun."

Marvel Rivals and Gooner videos both artificially spike cortisol (stress/anxiety) and then provide the only means of relief (dopamine), making the user dependent on the external source for emotional regulation.

The overlap with Gooner PMV movies is both optimize for a state where executive function is suspended where you stop thinking and start reacting purely to stimuli.

Both replace internal agency (what you want to do) with external commands (what the voice/UI tells you to do), training the user to feel uncomfortable without clear instructions.

Both gamify the feeling of being "small" or controlled by a larger, more powerful entity (Galacta/Giantess vs. Player/Sub), creating an implicit hierarchy where the user exists to serve the entity.

Both systems are designed to withhold the ultimate satisfaction (the "release" or the "win") to prolong the session, keeping the user in a state of high-arousal frustration.

Both rely on "high-gloss" textures (latex, shiny skin) and exaggerated anatomy to lock the viewer’s gaze and induce a trance

Galactica utilizes a rhythmic, descending countdown (5-4-3-2-1) to trigger a Pavlovian response, signaling the brain to shut down critical thought ("blanking") and enter a state of hyper-focus ("subspace").

For marginalized communities, particularly queer people online, the primary goal of discourse is not abstract truth but imminent safety.

Trump winning in 2020 would have been a better outcome. He would have had to navigate the post-COVID economy, done a shitty job, and we could all be very pretty catgirls now.
