It seems so, for instance someone on the MC forum started a post like this:

-Good corruption clips?

One of my favorite types of MC is basically MC into corruption - wherein the villain uses MC to turn the virtuous hero evil. The victim retains a fair amount of independence - he/she has their own thoughts / motivations / etc. rather than just 'yes master', 'no master', etc. - it's just that the mind control has twisted their thoughts / desires such that the hero is now a villain (usually part of the MC'ers organization or now a lackey for the villain, along those lines.
For example, the episodes in Sailor Moon where Rini is controlled to become Black Lady are great - as Black Lady she has been MC'd evil, but she thinks and acts largely on her own (while now working with the villains) -
. Vampire stories often have this element to them - the innocent victim converted into an evil vampire.
Does anyone have favorite stories/clips/movies with this kind of stuff in them?

My reply had a recommendation for this site and this thread in particular
a bit later:

-I just signed up for that board but when I clicked on your link it takes me to an error page. How long does it take for an account to get activated?
-(me)Sorry, I forgot to mention that they seem to want you to jump through a few hoops to gain access these days.

-I wonder if I could play the "prominent community member" card....
-Good luck with that, I tried that and it wasn't a happy thing, the guy in charge wasn't really happy with me inquiring about that, instead saying that it was far better if I gave the five dollars. Long story short, the admin wasn't very nice and was down right rude to me, not a place I would enjoy going to. Might be great for some people, but from what I saw, I wouldn't be a member...ever.
-Thanks for the warning. Then I will certainly stay away.

Maybe that second to last guy was a bit oversensitive and whiney, I don't know, but it kind of put a damper on things. $5 isn't much to pay but some people don't like paying for something they haven't seen. I'm assuming recommendations from existing forum members who are in some kind of standing will work to fast track membership, otherwise I'm not sure how it works these days.
