Broke:

Belle has Stockholm syndrome because she falls in love with the Beast, her kidnapper.

Woke:

Stockholm syndrome was coined to slander a woman who had been in a hostage situation but openly criticized the poor police response which recklessly put her in more danger and escalated the violence. She was then belittled and discredited publically by the police for this.

So. Yeah. Maybe Belle does have Stockholm syndrome actually.

If anyone is curious here is the wikipedia section describing this.

Wikipedia screenshot containing the following:

According to accounts by Kristin Enmark, one of the hostages, the police however was acting incompetently, with little care for the hostages' safety, which forced the hostages to negotiate for their life and release with the robbers on their own. In the process the hostages saw the robbers behaving more rationally than police negotiators and therefore developed a deep distrust towards the latter. Enmark had criticized Bejerot specifically for endangering their lives by behaving aggressively and agitating the captors. She had criticized the police for pointing guns at the convicts while the hostages were in the line of fire and she had told news outlets that one of the captors tried to protect the hostages from being caught in the crossfire. She was also critical of prime minister Olof Palme, as she had negotiated with the captors for freedom, but the prime minister told her that she would have to content herself to die at her post rather than give in to the captors' demands. Ultimately, Enmark explained she was more afraid of the police whose attitude seemed to be a much larger, direct threat to her life than the robbers.]

Hope the ID helps, it's my first time writing one.

Here are some other facts you should know about Nils Bejerot: He had a major influence (this involved founding the "Swedish National Association for a Drug-free Society") on Sweden's zero-tolerance approach to drug use.

And he wrote "Barn, Serier, Samhälle" (Children, Comics, Society), basically the Swedish version of "Seduction of the Innocent"; an infamous anti-comics book by Fredric Wertham that led to the Comics Code Authority.

This is the man who coined the phrase "Stockholm syndrome", guys.

As the saying goes: “Why Friend-shaped if not Friend?”

"No one can love you until you love yourself" is like the worst possible way of articulating "if you don't respect and value yourself, it's very easy to become attracted to people who don't treat you right and then justify their mistreatment, so be careful."

so THAT'S what it's supposed to mean. that actually makes sense.

The ethics of fanfiction book-binding and why no one should be making money from it

Recently on tiktok there has been a wave of content creators showcasing their fanfic bookbinding commissions they have been doing for what appears to be mostly for harry potter fandom* (I'm sure there are others, this particular fandom is just loud and content for them is all I see in regards to this aspect of fan culture). These videos usually include some of the process involved with book binding fanfic, general information about their personal preference with the craft , and almost always a disclaimer about not 'really' making a profit off these commissions. Which seems fine and dandy from a distance, but when the creators are looked at closely, they are making a profit (even if its a small one) and majority of the time the fics they are binding they are not the author of. They are selling fics they do not have the rights** to, when the author of that work will never see a dime of.

First and foremost this is a major problem, for a multitude of reasons really. The two most glaring is that these bookbinders don't own the fic they are binding for commissions, and because of how gray fanfiction still is in copyright law selling hard copies for fics is dangerous(illegal) and put every single person who enjoys (reader and writer, but especially the writer) fanfiction at risk. ie major fanfiction website shutdown, Anne Rice*** level lawsuits against fanfic writers, and so much more.

Fanfiction bookbinding at its core should only be for personal use, and or gift giving. And only if the book binder is the author, or has explicit permission from the author to do so. Which to give some credit many of the binders on tiktok have gotten, but a lot of them haven't. Or they don't disclose the true intentions of what they are doing. Like auctioning off these bound fics as a donation for fan artist or other creators within the fandom- when again the fic author will never see a dime of this transaction, even though it was their work, their time, effort, and skill being the sold item. That is a problem.

This post isn't being made to be rude or mean to fellow creatives in the fandom community, this is a post that comes from a place of concern. The moral of the story is that it is not ethical to sell, take commission for bound fics or mass distribute fanfiction is anyway for any reason. While having a hard copy of your favorite fic is nice, and books are pretty, the risks**** are not worth it.

(please don't reblog this with saying that some fic writers use patreon or other sites to take commission or do early access to new chapters so they can make money off their fics so book binders taking commissions is fair game, because that is not the majority of fic writers. The majority of fic writers will tell you that taking commission or making money off fanfic is wrong. Because while I'm sure a lot of us would like to be paid for our time and effort and skill, we don't want to risk it and ruin this for the entire community. Accepting money for anything to do with fanfiction is dangerous and is most cases illegal. )

i've been waiting for a post like this to reblog it!! i've been watching this development with deep unease and hope that fandom can come together on this and remember that not making money of fan content is what keeps us safe!!
