This phenomenon is called “Identification with the Aggressor.” It’s actually my favorite defense mechanism to study and research. I find it extremely interesting. But I don’t love it being glorified through Disney’s supposedly most intelligent princess 😑

If you like anime try Momoru Hasodas “Belle” it’s all of the fun best parts of Beauty And The Beast without actually doing Beauty And The Beast or a creepy Stockholm thing
