May I suggest using the term "mindfuck" instead? It seems to already have a relatively well established base of usage and was defined eloquently by terryzz on UrbanDictionary.com as follows:
"Meatfucker" is good too, but I think "mindfuck" or "brainfuck" is more evocative of the concept.
The first use of it I encountered had a positive connotation. Apparently there are very conflicting schools of thought on the matter.
Looks like the viewpoint-changing, not necessarily a bad thing meaning might have been the original one.
