Examples of Stockholm Syndrome in Disney

 Frollo and Quasimodo

Mother Gothel and Rapunzel

Frollo and Mother Gothel convince Quasimodo and Rapunzel that their lives are dependent on them. The two villains claim the outside world is a terrible place even though they know this is not true. They also constantly emotionally abuse their victims by implying their worthlessness and destroying their self-esteems. Quasimodo and Rapunzel sympathize with their captors and even believe their captors are protecting them and treating them with kindness. However, both captors are merely using and manipulating their victims for their own selfish purposes.

The Beast and Belle

 Belle does not sympathize with the Beast when she is treated poorly. She becomes angry and leaves the castle, only returning by her own wish so that the Beast (who saves her) does not freeze to death. She does not respond nicely towards the Beast until he treats her with respect. In this situation, Belle has control and is not manipulated into feeling for the Beast, nor does the Beast treat her disrespectfully after the first night. While the Beast does have an underlying motive as to keeping Belle in his castle, he abandons this idea and sets her free to make her happy. If anything, this story is a case of Lima Syndrome where the captor starts to sympathize with the victim.

Check out this post which refocuses the purpose of Beauty and the Beast from merely (and wrongly) being about Stockholm Syndrome to it’s original purpose.

People need to stop glorifying stretch marks and fat rolls. You can tell people their beautiful all you want, but you know what’s beautiful? VS models. Tell your followers to get some coco butter or lazor surgery to look like them. Stop romantisizing imperfections.

they’re still fucking beautiful

Guess what kiddos?  Skin isn’t plastic/rubber! When you move it will stretch, or bunch, or pull, or roll. It’s what skin does!! And marks happen -to everyone-

There is nothing wrong with those who want to get cosmetic surgery, because it’s what will make them happy.

But that “Stop romanticizing imperfections“ bullshit isn’t applicable.  It’s not romanticizing imperfections, it’s accepting the body for how it is naturally, and realizing that it’s okay to exist and to love yourself as you are, without having to live up to other people’s ideals of ‘perfect’ photoshopped beauty.

Everyone needs this.

Don’t you EVER do this to a person’s hair. That is a VIOLATION of a person’s body! If you think “she deserved it” then you deserve to be punished for harassment because doing anything to a person’s body without their permission is harassment. And since hair is a part of a person;s body, you have no right to touch, play with, cut, or mess up a person;s hair witout explicit permission. 

Just ASK the girl to move her hair off your desk or to have the desk moved away a little.

“BUT IT’LL GROW BACK” Not always! My mother had long gorgeous hair and her grandmother cut it all off and it NEVER grew back the same length again! She was DEVASTATED. 

This girl is probably FURIOUS and she has every right to be!

Next time someone thinks it’s “funny” to cut a person’s hair without their permission, I hope they get punched in the face. 

“Funny” but True story: Cutting off a chunk of someone’s hair without their consent is actually, legally considered assault and battery with a deadly weapon. A girl in my sister’s class did this exact thing to her once, and she reported it to the police. The girl was legit charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon. Yep. Hair is considered, legally, to be part of someone’s body, hence the law.

Here is the Law: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_occasioning_actual_bodily_harm#Cutting_hair 

Also, the mentality of someone who sees no problem literally just reaching out and doing this to someone is sociopathic. Like, I would NEVER even think to reach out and cut off a piece of someone’s clothing even, much less their hair.

But yeah. For future reference: If anyone does this to you in class. You can report it to your local police station.

Someone pretended to do this to me in high school. They had fake hair in their hand and snipped the scissors close to my head and laughed hysterically. They held the hair in front of my face and taunted me while everyone laughed too. Instead of lashing out and hitting them (like high school me always did) or taking the hair, I burst into tears. I just started crying hysterically.

Why? Because someone thought it would be funny to cut my hair without my permission. Because I had spent YEARS growing my hair out after a terrible haircut (that I brought on myself). And because no one thought it was wrong that they did this.

The teacher came over at the sight of me crying and made everyone stop laughing. She asked me what was wrong and I pushed the fake hair toward her (still not knowing it was fake), put my head in my hands and kept crying. I expected her to tell me to just take the joke and it’s nothing to cry about. Instead she held the hair up and asked, “Who did this?” there were a few snickers, “This is not funny, who did this?” I hadn’t seen who did it because they were behind me so I couldn’t tell her either.

Finally someone pointed at a kid and he said, “It was a joke! The hair is fake!” the teacher walked over to him and told him to gather his stuff. He said something like, “She’s being a baby it was a joke!” to which my teacher replied, “You pretended to cut off her hair without her consent, that is not a joke.” she sent him to the office and he wasn’t allowed back in her class for a week. 

Also worth noting that some religions (the one that immediately comes to mind is Sikhism, though it’s not the only one) consider hair sacred or blessed, and forbid cutting or removing it! Not only is cutting someone’s hair without their consent assault, but it could also be violating their religious beliefs/practices!

if u cut off my hair the scissors are going into your neck next

I wouldn’t have blamed her if she punched that person dead in the face.
