Aliasing hypnotized -> hypnosis.

Reason: They serve the same function, but hypnosis covers a broader base. Alternatively "hypnotized" could be aliased to "mind_control" (since it's result, not the act).

Someone can be hypnotized, but there is no hypnosis to be seen. Same goes for hypnosis, you might see it happen, but no one is involved (like someone breaking the fourth wall and "hypnotizing" the audience).

As for mind control, that also isn't a catch all case, especially in more realistic cases. Hypnosis can be used to suggest actions and not control a person completely.

When someone is hypnotized, the concept of hypnosis is always involved. At the very least it deserves an implication, but I disagree with the need for the distinction at all on the grounds that there's apparently little demand for it and its rules will be obvious to neither the average tagger nor the average searcher.

It doesn't matter if someone's in full trance mode, is just being influenced, or appears to be influencing someone else off-screen, there will always be some degree of mind_control going on.

I say hypnotized should be aliased to hypnosis, and hypnosis should imply mind_control.

When someone is shown as hypnotized, the act of hypnosis is not necessarily shown (although really the only way to pull that off that I can think of is textbubbles or a multi-image comic). Is the tag hypnosis for the act, or the concept? I would assume it's for the act, because I think it's more useful that way.

I would support the implication to mind_control for both tags.
