I feel like Pete can be diagnosed with anything BUT Stockholm! I feel he has a depressive mood disorder, he seems…
Depressive Mood Disorder. Hmmm? I could agree with that. However, that doesn't necesarily mean that he couldn't be having symptoms of Stockholm. Those people believed to be experiencing Stocholm often exhibit other mental health issues as well.
Realistically speaking pete would not be diagnosed with Stockholm Syndrome for a variety of reasons so please…
I agree with you that Vegas/Pete is a "twisted complex" story and " that it's not made for everybody." But. you seem to have strong comments towards any poster that makes the Stockholm reference. I'm curious. What makes you so convinced that it couldn't be Stockholm?
Well, in the novel, Porsche's mom is adopted as Korn's sister, not by related blood.
Absolutely true! But, in many cultures "family" is "family," regardless of whether they are blood related or not. However, on the other hand, some cultures have no problem marrying within the family (blood or not). So, I guess you're right. I stand corrected.
Now, this was a great ep.! But, IMO, the Vegas/Pete relationship is still really f*cked up! Pete should've shot Vegas in his leg, arm or even his ass, as a little payback...then forgive him, if he wants.
I'm not disputing your definition of Stockhol Syndrome, because it is essentially correct. Some professionals…
Again, I'm not disputing you. But, Stockholm is still a "phenomenon" amongst psychological disorders. And, since it statistically has only occurred in about 8% of hostage/captor situations, still much is unknown. However, I guess only the author would know if this was part of the story.
I did some research and I believe people are throwing this " Stockholm syndrome " way to easily on Pete. What…
I'm not disputing your definition of Stockhol Syndrome, because it is essentially correct. Some professionals would say "defense mechanism" vs coping mechanism. And, no , the two are not the same. However, the bond that developes between captor/victim does not have to be a lengthy time. Some cases reported have occurred when the captor/victim have spent only a short amount of time with each other. One key component in Stockholm is "trauma bonding." Pete and Vegas shared their experiences in which they were beaten by their fathers. That can definitely be a traumatic event. Hence, the "trauma bonding." So, whoever initially brought up Stockholm (it was not I), may not have been too far off.
Okay. After reading many of the comments, I'm still just smh! Comments ranging from "reality vs fiction," "love versus lust," "KP content vs VP content," and finally "black vs white" when trying to describe what's going on in this series.
Well, I'll tell you what I think is going on, "folks are being entertained!" Just from all of the comments alone, folks here on MDL seem to be getting a pretty good dose of entertainment. So much so, that some are philosophizing (or fantasizing, take your pick) on the KP and Vp relationships. THB, I really don't have a problem with folks doing the be fore mention things -- because for "all that it's worth," KinnPorsche is JUST A TV SHOW created to do what most tv shows do, entertain, and more importantly "advertise and sell the sponsors' products," and "KINN, PORSCHE, VEGAS, PETE, CHAY, and KIM" are ALL characters portrayed actors who are paid to "entertain" and help "sell the sponsors' products."
Whether you're into or not into any of the following: 1) romanticized rape/sexual assault, 2) torture, 3) victimization, 4) bdsm, 5) older/younger relationships, 6) betrayal, 7) Stockholm or Lima syndrome stories, or 8) any other non-traditional BL story, just remember this one thing -- the show is still meant to basically do two things, entertain you and get to notice (and hopely buy) the sponsors products.
So, if you like what's going on in KinnPorsche, watch, enjoy, comment on what you like or don't like and suffer through the many adds and commercials. LMFAO! Or, turn the channel, flip the switch, or use "Hey Google or Hey Siri" on your phone, ipad, or other device to change to another BL that is more to your liking, where you can watch, enjoy, comment or what you like or don't like and suffer through those BLs many add and commercials.... Still LMFAO!
These comments are more entertaining than the series!! Hahaha! Although, I have to agree with many of the posters. This series is hilariously not good! Now, I did NOT say it was "bad," I said it was NOT "good." LMFAO! But, now we have another BL series that has the mafia as a backrgound story. But, this one doesn't focus on rape, just BDSM... Hahaha! Wow! BLs hare moving up in the world. Now they're "trashy tv" just like non-BLs. I just can't stop laughing!!!!
Instead of Pete developing Stockholm Syndrome, it seems Vegas is the one developing Lima Syndrome 😂
TBH, I think you're both correct. Pete does appear to be developing Stockholm Syndrome, while Vegas is developing Lima Syndrome. That, in essence, could bring them together. Also, it's still kind of messy...a relationship built on two co-dependent psychological issues. It could also make for a very interesting story arc. Hmmm?
I like this series because it's light hearted. Yeah, it has a few of the same old tropes and lgbtq+ stereotypes (such as all the "taller" "older" boys personify the perceived "tops" and the "shorter" younger boys personifying the perceived "bottoms," typical in many, many Thai BLs. But, at least the series is entertaining and without much toxicity (at least in these early eps.).
