How would WMLP M’Gann and Dick react to being called brainwashed? How would Kaldur, Conner and Artemis react to being accused of being brainwashed?
Maaaaaaaaaan. That would be a loaded accusation.
I mean I suppose it's depend on who is saying it. Like they all kind of have certain people who could say it to them and get away with it.
For the most part Artemis would be blatantly angry about it. As far as she's concerned she's perfectly reasonable and moral and everyone else is wrong. The best someone could say is that she is now much more willing to do things largely regarded as 'bad' and that she's actively living with Jade. Like she isn't necessarily brain washed in any capacity but she's very willing to break and bend rules for her cause, because she thinks it's justified.
M'gaan would meet the accusation with like. Vague annoyance. Because like duh. Bee literally had her telepathy turned against her. Like she would acknowledge that she has been brainwashed in the sense that Bee has physically done that. But she'd also be pissed because what the hell is she supposed to do about it? Cry? She's better off just making the best of her situation. What she doesn't realise is that's literally brainwashing talking, she's not subverting it.
Conner would be a bit insulted because like. He's still him. He actively hates everything about this situation he just kinda has no choice in the matter. Conner actively thinks that he got the best possible treatment out of the six of them. He hasn't been brainwashed, he's the equivalent of a dog with a shock collar.
Kaldur would just kind of shrivel up and die inside about it. He doesn't want any of this and he is so mad at himself for letting this all have such a big effect on him. As far as he's concerned he isn't actually facing any real hardship, he's just not allowed to do things. He thinks his reaction to everything is wildly disproportionate. Which is because of the brainwashing.
Dick would start throwing fists. No that's probably a bit of an exaggeration. But he would not be happy about it and he would be ready to fight about it. Because anyone calling him brainwashed is coming from the perspective of 'you used to be better and now someone has ruined you and if you just let us help you we could fix you, it's not you're fault you poor baby here let the adults handle it's which sets off most of his triggers. Because of the brainwashing. Y'know how it is.

Artemis: Imagine if someone handed you a box full of all the things you lost throughout your life.
Wally: It would be nice to have my sense of purpose back...
Dick: Oh wow, my childhood innocence! Thank you for finding this.
Conner: My will to live! I haven't seen this in years.
Kaldur: I knew I lost that potential somewhere.
M’gann: Mental stability, my old friend!
Artemis: Jesus, could you guys lighten up a little?

The short version of what S4 has established is something I’ve suspected for a long time: Kaldur is incapable of taking a break because in his mind he is only as loved as he is needed.
The long version is this:
Kaldur learned from an early age that in order to support other people he had to put his own needs aside. Every relationship besides Wynnde and Delphis that we’ve seen Kaldur expound on in S4 has been one where the dynamic was set like this: Kaldur was there for them, not the other way around.
And that is the dynamic he’s trapped in with almost everyone he’s had a relationship with prior to S3 (notable exceptions are Will, M’gann, and Artemis, but we’ll circle back to them and how angry I am that Grandon doesn’t have Kaldur there for M’gann or have Artemis beating his door down. Maybe post breaking point we’ll see more from that end).
There are two categories of relationships in Kaldur’s life, pre-S3: People who need him to take on responsibilities, and people who need unreciprocated emotional support.
Many of the most important people in Kaldur’s life have needed him to shoulder burdens for them. His parents, Dick, Orin. They needed to perform a service, so they could have the space they needed to become the people they are now. 
If Kaldur had not stepped up their family would have never made it out alive. Dick Grayson would have been in charge too early and the Team very well might have all died. Orin was at risk of losing his throne if he didn’t step down as Aquaman, and he needed someone to fill the roll of Atlantean League member and continue representing Atlantis’s needs in the League and the galaxy. 
The adults in Kaldur’s life have never protected him from these responsibilities. As it stands in S4, Orin and Jeff perpetuate it, Black Canary and Batman fueled it from the start. 
Now let’s switch to emotional labor, which Kaldur performs a metric shit ton of in S1 and was apparently doing for his own mother since he was a young child. 
The entire show kicks off with Kaldur talking down a boy who attacked him and his friends unprompted. Then when M’gann has a hard time integrating, Kaldur is the one who assures her it’s the team as a whole, not her failing. He’s chosen by the rest because he’s never selfish or resentful—he focuses on the mission and the welfare of his team mates. We know he *feels* annoyance and resentment (hey, speed of Mercury, I am not Batman), so on.  But he doesn’t hold grudges or let his feelings effect the decisions he makes about the team. 
In every case (shielding M’gann with his body in the fire cage, putting on the helmet of fate, sacrificing himself for J’ohnn) he prioritizes the team and his responsibility as their leader. He never prioritizes himself. No one ever prioritizes him. Kaldur offers advice, affirmation, and support to every member of the Team in S1. Will is the only one who ever gave Kaldur any in return.
(Let us consider, for a moment, the desiccated corpse of Kaldur’s friendship with Will.
Will is the only one Kaldur indicates he leans on in Season 1 (tell me something you’ve never told anyone else.) Will has also been absent from Kaldur’s life since Season 2 (go bring Kaldur back to the light) and their split has never been addressed beyond Greg confirming via AskGreg that they eventually reconciled.
Will is the only one who had a mutual dynamic with Kaldur in Season 1. Artemis and M’gann gain that status in Season 2 during the mind-break fiasco. M’gann is shown to be Kaldur’s confidant in S3.
Notice that all three of these characters are absent from Kaldur’s life. Will has Lian, Artemis has pulled away to have her own life, M’gann has lost Conner.
Kaldur, as a rule, doesn’t reach out to people for help. He’s cut himself off from them, presumably, because he doesn’t want to burden them now that they don’t need him and have their own things going on)
Even Garth and Tula shift themselves into this category by asking him to set his own feelings aside. They make it clear that they expect Kaldur to remain their friend, never mind his pain or feelings. And he gives them that—Kaldur leaves Atlantis in Downtime on good terms with them both, assuring them that he is fine and is happy for them. It isn’t until Kaldur’s confrontation with Will that we’re given insight on just how shattered Kaldur really was. 
All the S1 Team leaned on Kaldur emotionally. They could be messy (Alpha Male, Connor in general, Kaldur’s immediate forgiveness of M’gann, Artemis in the comics, etc) because he could be controlled. And when they did that, they reinforced the fallacy that undermines almost all of Kaldur’s relationships.
Kaldur’s view of his own relationships can be startlingly transactional and one sided. He provides, he decides. He is the active participant in his relationships. People need him, and he gives them what they need, always, because he is an amazingly loving and compassionate person. 
But once someone gets slotted into the mental category of being his responsibility, Kaldur holds them at arm’s distance, because he is scared that once he is no longer needed he will no longer be loved. 
That’s why he gets pissed at Dick when Dick suggests he take a break before the constant loss and grief breaks him. It’s why his parents asking for him to care for himself produces the saddest face he has ever made. 
“I’m fine. I have to be.” In Kaldur’s mind, if he cannot be of use he cannot be loved. If he breaks, or takes a break, everyone will realize they don’t need him any more. And then they will leave.
That’s why Delphis and Wyynde are different, are the ones Kaldur can actually hear, because that was never their dynamic.
Wyynde has always been clear that he doesn’t need Kaldur to be strong for him (“I went through the same training you did/I can kick your ass/etc”).
What Wyynde needed was that compassion, that unending well of understanding and kindness. It’s implied in S4E14 that Kaldur is the first person who saw past what Wyynde had done to who he was trying to be. And, importantly, Grandon established from the get go that that support is mutual. Wyynde spends the first episode he has a speaking role in support Kaldur. This is the first relationship we have ever seen Kaldur in (with the exception of David, and that is it’s whole own kettle of unaddressed fish) where that’s the case.
Same with Delphis—Kaldur supported and helped her, and in that same episode she made it clear that she sees him for what he is and that she is able to support him in return. 
Unlike all of Kaldur’s relationships S1-S2 (with the exception of Will Harper), neither Wyynde nor Delphis begin as people Kaldur has to take care of. That’s why they’re the ones with him, down in the ruins. (That may be why Grandon is going to do something terrible to one or both of them). And it’s why they’re  the ones who might be able to reach him, and who Kaldur allows close enough that they have the chance to do so.
