Oh, by "single character-focused" I just meant that it doesn't require more than one character in essence. Typically it primarily objectifies a single character. Pegging, spanking, findom, foot worship, forced feminization would be examples of fetishes that aren't single character-focused, they refer to an activity and require at least 2 characters. Bondage, chastity, crossdressing, giantess, futanari would be other single character-focused fetishes. Often corruption just involves a cursed item.
Maybe I'm a little similar. I just like to ponder the reasons people choose to standardize words in certain ways to better express themselves and form communities. Actually, I'm fine with recognizing anyone else's preference for how to define the term corruption; I just casually split it into two terms there (true corruption and sexual corruption) that I could define coherently for the sake of the clarity in how I phrased my own post. Specifically I went with VNDB's take... but now I'm looking there and see that they

the name of what I called true corruption to Falling to Evil, which is actually what I would have preferred to use, so I'll just use that term from now on. VNDB, by the way, actually rigorously considers many of their tag definitions, unlike f95zone's tagging situation which is pretty much a joke overall, which is why I relied on it there.
I suppose corruption has become a term that's a little like femdom, in that everyone has their own definition these days. People seem to prefer to define corruption as whatever change in a person's behavior they consider
excitingly unexpected or taboo. Person A's good corruption is person B's boring corruption, and person B's good corruption is person A's weird and overly fetishistic corruption. NTR is yet another example, as people tend to prefer to define it as whatever situation they would consider to inspire sexual jealousy, which varies based on a person's possessiveness or expectations for human relationships. Anyway, that's a whole other subject I won't delve into.
Yeah, absolutely. I'd personally like being hypnotically forced to be unable to raise my head above the woman's head, or forced into believing I'm a dog, or forced into mentally thinking of women as goddesses who are objects of fear I can't even think of disobeying. There's some femdom brainwashing in The Company, but it's not this dramatic (if I remember right, it's just pegging and some light feminization? oh yeah, it's in your list) and it's not really permanent in effect since it's a sandbox game.
This frustrates me. It's a preference that is heavily internalized in women too, as even in otome games where the female lead can romance multiple boys, harem routes are close to a taboo, and their players don't like the idea. That aside, the way some male femdom fans overreact to multiple men in femdom games still surprises me, as it feels more possessive than I'd expect. In Cobra's floor of Tower of Trample, they almost added Lily dominating other water dojo members (not just the player character Ethan) but then they cut it due to the concern it would feel like "NTR" due to some feedback if I'm remembering right, but that would have made Lily even better for me personally (she's my favorite ToT character).
By the way, I had the loose impression from the way you opened your post that maybe you felt I disagreed with you about something, but after I read your post, I couldn't figure it out, as it seemed like I agreed with everything you said. Of course, corruption should be able to have a male focus.
I wasn't particularly trying to drag anyone back into the conversation about corruption either, just sharing my thoughts.
