Basically, when the Imp protag actually meets the Dread Masters on both occasions(Belsavis and Oricon), they can outright resist their dread powers. It's confirmed in almost every source on them that this is their main power, horror. Yet when the same protagonist in a much more powerful state tries to wield Naga Sadow's amulet on Yavin IV, the protagonist get mindrvped and ragdolled. Exar Kun, in stark contrast, weilds the same amulet with ease, on his first proper instance of using the dark side of the Force. He grows many times more powerful after this instance too.
In other words, Kun mindrvpes the Dread Masters.

Ehh? Evidence for mindraping and ragdolling? I don’t consider a (game mechanic) shockwave that throws back the player as evidence of legitimate ragdolling. And where’s the evidence for mindrape? The protags conquer the amulets.
I think the Dread Masters mindraping post-Act 3 HoT from across the galaxy > Exar Kun, but that’s just my two cents.

It's a scripted mechanic. The protag grips their head, screams and then gets blasted back. This is also pretty clearly something they had to manually insert, and not just a throw away animation they tacked on, because nothing else in the game does that animation to you.
Enthralling Kyp Durron's mind, even assuming direct control of his mind from across the galaxy, and simultaneously binding Luke's spirit beyond any and all powers that he or anyone in the academy could resist; as a spirit > Dread Masters.
