It isn't mental manipulation, at least from how I read it. It's simply the Vampire suppressing himself to the point where he's basically a nonentity. It's not illusion exactly, and once again, Jack's done nothing to make himself noticeable.

Put short it isn't magic.

The way I perceive it; illusion induced through subtle suggestion. Kinda, but no exactly, like misdirection. (Kuroko no Basket, anyone?)

That's a good way to put it. It's like a 'Hey, this guy really doesn't matter' power.

Whatever Alice. This isn't the place for the discussion in the first place. Your warning has no grounds, I'm not sexist nor is my writing, end of story

Arch, seriously stop. No matter how much you moan it won't change my mind, the Chan way of doing things doesn't work.
What's really funny is that this wasn't me moaning chan style at all here. And yes, she does have grounds for warning you in this case.

Experiments and stuff that's super secret.


Also, fucking hell this entire argument is ridiculous and should never have happened. Bad writing isn't necessarily sexism, just using outdated tropes.

By which I mean that I think the whole 'damsel in distress' bit is kinda dumb and could've been handled better, but not bad enough to start a giant argument over.

It's a secret. A good bad guy is surprising and mysterious, not just powerful.
