Remember the discussion we started about "Beauty and the Beast"? 
          
          Thanks a lot to everyone who shared there opinion. Whether you think that it romanticized Stockholm Syndrome or not, we value your opinion. 
          
          We also have a chapter planned regarding this. Keep up :)
          
          P.S 927? Interesting...

How do you feel about the ‘ opposites attract ‘ thing? Like, the ships where it’s basically the guy is a toxic ‘bad boy’ and the girl just magically makes him all happy

@CryingInTheShower We don't like it. A toxic person can't just magically be cured by a significant other. These books just make love seem something magical. In other words, they are just horrible.

Do you think Beauty and The Beast romanticized Stockholm Syndrome?

          PS: For those who say that campaigns like this hardly make a difference, our 920 followers showed them that they do make a difference. We created awareness among 900 people (minus a few bot accounts that may exist) 
           
          Out of these followers, maybe a few initially had no idea about romanticized abuse, but now they do. 
          
          Can people still say we don't make a difference?

            Stop! Guys what is wrong with you? It is the farthest thing from Stockholm Syndrome. Why does Beauty and the Beast keep getting classified as that? IT IS NOT. It’s my favorite Disney Princess movie and people are trying to discredit it by falsely labeling it as Stockholm Syndrome. 
            
            
             Stockholm Syndrome is when a captive feels positive emotions for their captor because they mistake a lack of abusive behavior for kindness, however while Belle agrees to stay with the Beast (a choice that was made by herself in the first place, not by her father or the Beast), she constantly stands up to the Beast and defies his threats and punishments when he treats her badly, therefore not allowing him any power over her beyond being able to keep her in the same general location. She doesn't show him any affection until he finally stops acting like a jerk (he doesn't display any abusive behavior after she saves his life) and starts consistently treating her with respect. And it is only after the Beast frees Belle, making them complete equals with no power imbalance at all in their relationship that she's able to finally fall in love with him. It's also clear that while the Beast had an outside motivation to make Belle like him and to change his behavior, the changes in his character are genuine as seen in his act of mercy in sparing Gaston's life in the climax of the film. If anything, the story is about Lima Syndrome, in which a captor feels affection for their captive. Additionally, the idea that the story is about Stockholm Syndrome ignores the fact that the original fairy tale it was based off of was meant to be an allegory for arranged marriages and for the apprehension and fear a young bride would feel about starting a new life with a strange man she might not like at first.
            I didn’t have time to write a good argument so here’s a  tumblr post that explains it.
