50 Shades of Gray is about a girl being indoctrinated

Holy shit... I mean, it's true. But, on the other hand, there are plenty of other situations where this happens, except for the last part. In theory, that last step, "controlling identity and behavior" could be substituted for any ultimate goal, because those first 7 steps are very effective. I think it's creepier because Ana actually ends up LOVING him by the end, after being isolated by him in order to keep her to himself. There's a name for that you know... Just a little thing called Stockholm's Syndrome...

One technique Christian employed that he forgot to mention was that he seemingly gave her "a way out", even though he knew she wouldn't use it. He gave her the opportunity to leave, but the relationship would be over, essentially tethering her to it. He gave her a safe word, but she only used it once out of the many times he pushed her well out of her comfort zone.

 

Well, we already knew it was abuse and manipulation, so why not indoctrination while he's at it? 50SoG didn't need this to be disturbing, but the video is very interesting since it puts it in a new light. Thanks for sharing.
