I guess you do have a point, i did remember the weight loss situation and how everyone just accepted it, so definitly an example of "perception alteration" but since it's so harmless i didn't think it was a good example of the initial idea (mindraping by existing) but Mc failing to realize Ella and Jake's link is much better since it could be potentially harmful.
That's also the case when Liz and Amber took off their clothes, Mc only resists if he reaches a certain amount of power so it does have to do with how much a superhuman affected have.
And since the only regular humans i remember resisting his powers are Jared and Mia and both have narrative reasons to that, i agree with you though i wish we had more examples of Jake passive mind control.
Thinking about that he used his power (on purpose) to convince Alexis that it was ok to to show HERO's lab, but when Clark arrived he immediately realized that he shouldn't be there, it's the same if Mc doesn't have enough power during the clothes situation he also doen't see anything wrong. On Alexis case it was something subtle and not really glaring so he can get away with small things, on Mc's case it was obviously lack of power.
Thanks for your insight man.
