That is to say, we know there are folks out there that have it as a kink, even one related to vore (inb4 Kaa singing "trust in me") but MC-style RP is also one of those things that has big ol' red flags attached.
The Camarilla UK GMs literally used to watch specifically the way people used abilities like Sovereign, Dominate and so on as a means of detecting possible drama further down the line (same as we on station watch people who immediately jump into head slots as soon as the age lock clears).
tl;dr it's a totally fine thing to have, but be aware that it's still definitely not a greenlight to use it to push RP on people who aren't up for it. Hypnofetishists (just like macros, dragons, and indeed vores) have had a lot of trouble with "that guy" giving 'em a rep.

I'd personally prefer if it STAYS as RP. But if enough people want this, I could get behind it.

I have to agree here. It's not like handcuffs, which give an actual challenge on both a mechanical and role-play level, as it was said that it'd just make you much more persuadable, which can be done just as easily via roleplay as it can via an item.
However, since I do kind of like the idea, I think there are alternatives. A stop-watch on a chain, maybe, which is less of a hypnotizing item, and more of a role play tool. Perfectly viable for somebody who can be hypnotized, but utterly useless on one who cannot. A fluff item, pretty much.
