Actually I don't think LIIs are very manipulative at all. For one thing how do you "control" another person's imagination? You can't. The only thing you can do is try to make a "semblance" of the imaginary scenario you've conceived, the process of which invariably relying on methods not of your own design, but of people who are not LII.

You can control a person's self-expression, however, using those same methods.

It seems to me though that the odd-dimensional functions in general are manipulative.
