Being literally brainwashed isn't itself a no, if after freed they show corrupting features that's another matter entirely. Plenty of series have brainwashing itself as needing help to be broken vs just a Pure Good being immune or immediately breaking it. Even characters like Superman in done have been brainwashed and needing some help to break. If they willing change sides that's less brainwashing and simply them revealing corrupting factors.
