Just as a data point: the emotional manipulation tactics (i.e graphic videos) were effective against me. (Mostly because I was unfamiliar with the process before. I didn’t know what happened) They tend to be effective in people especially sensitive to graphic images, I think, but I realize that in general it’s not a tremendously effective way across the population spectrum. If it was, everyone (or at least everyone who has watched those videos) would probably be vegetarian at this point. This is not the case.

As another data point, emotional manipulations tactics are HIGHLY counterproductive against me. I dislike being emotionally manipulated and when I see attempts to do so my attitude towards the cause worsens considerably.
Those are very different contexts (but the answer is no, they are not effective against me). I don’t make decisions based on purely visceral reactions, nor do I advise it. I think there may have been some miscommunication… I was saying that those tactics don’t generally work, that I do not recommend them, even if I happened to be an exception.

Can you name three cases when you changed your mind on something important as a result of someone convincing you, by any means.
Are videos intended to produce a visceral reaction against gay sex or abortion also effective against you?
