I'm not disputing your definition of Stockhol Syndrome, because it is essentially correct. Some professionals…
Thank you for explaining, I believe trauma bonding occurs often so I don't consider it that significant here. Usually the hostage parties develops negative feelings towards the one's that are attempting rescue them and this isn't the case because like I said, Pete tried to escape which is something a person with a Stockholm syndrome wouldn't do, not to that extend. Also these individuals are generally not harmed by their captors and may even be treated with kindness but we saw Vegas hurt Pete not just imprisoned him so it's really unlikely. After all it's a fictional character so people making this assumption is okay but I don't think they have any source of material to justify it as a fact like many tried before. If that's their perspective then that's fine but realistically speaking it's 1 in a million that this would be a case in real life
I did some research and I believe people are throwing this " Stockholm syndrome " way to easily on Pete. What you are diagnosing him with is a coping mechanism to a captive or abusive situation. People develop positive feelings toward their captors or abusers over time. Pete has never once thought that what Vegas is doing is right, he acknowledges the bad behavior and even points it out when he calls him a psychopath, he is perfectly capable of going against Vegas and this alone already takes out the possibility of him having Stockholm Syndrome. Someone developing this would never try to escape and we see Pete doing that several times although he backed down to take care of Vegas, seeing him take the handcuffs off is already enough to know he is perfectly capable of running from his abuser. An other thing is that Pete is a trained bodyguard, he is stronger than you think, he himself tortured and killed people so this is not new, he knows how this works. An other thing is their body language, Stockholm Syndrome IS A COPING MECHANISM and Pete is not helpless, in the contrary he has the power in this situation and Vegas is the one who is weak. HE KNOWS he needs to get away from Vegas -- He is not in denial.
To the people calling porschay dramatic, dumb, childish, cringe? Are y'all okay? No fr, if you can't be dramatic,…
I think its okay to acknowledge his mistakes but there is no need to drag him for it because we all make mistakes at that age, its very realistically portrayed
I don't understand why some people complain that Vegas was to gentle with Pete. I dont know what they expect.…
It was also pete's first time with a man and he was wounded, he could barely lean up because of the ache in his body. When he gave vegas that rope he trusted him enough to know he will be careful
