yes. theres three different forms of it, influence, oppression and possession. from the outside and from a lay perspective what they each look like is varying degrees of self control. being under demonic influence is like if you become frustrated and suddenly have the temptation to become irrational and "lose your composure", idk if you can find anyone who hasnt experienced where it felt like frustration took over for a brief moment. oppression looks more like when deleterious urges seem to have become character traits of a person, they do it, its who they are, but they know they shouldnt be, a fucking shit ton of people are living in this state. possession looks more like when someone has no awareness, or rather a complete inability to see fault, in doing abhorrent shit.
Psychology explains it well, sort of, but does so in a sterile way that ignores that there could be something immeasurable to blame. theres varying levels of each of those three, people under demonic oppression will have visual signs especially in their face, darkened eyes is the easiest to spot but there are other more nuanced ones that take some experience to see. possession has the same sort of stuff but everything with them is more.. dramatic and ridiculous, its also fairly rare. At least rare in the sense of the people you see in your normal activities probably wont be possessed, theres requirements to it, one of which is it is voluntary. its like vampire folk lore, they can fuck around outside but they cant enter without an invitation.
>who the fuck would do that?
someone that was evil from the very beginning. and, yes, these fucking psychopaths are all possessed. What is brewing right now is a holy war.
