    Freud bullying someone in school: HEY THERE FATTY FACE, YOU’RE BIG AND FAT!!

    Bullied kid: … your mom

    Freud then spends his life trying to come up with a clever come back

    Dude’s thinkin w his dick, okay. Freud was raised by his nanny and had very little contact with his bio-mom. Reasonable to assume it was so little that he experienced her as a stranger, & thought she was hot.

    Extremely unreasonable to consider any mammal would have sexual urges that would result in immediate severe inbreeding. Some past-centuries gooner got all hot, great, but don’t make me take his porn seriously

        Not even just cats lmao this guy is just straight up wrong.

        Mammals don’t give a single fuck about familial relationships. Dogs, cats, bears, deer. Once they reach sexual maturity they will fuck whatever they can. If mom goes into breeding mode and there’s no other males to stop them they will fuck their mom without a second thought.

    I love how accurate their faces would be in that situation. The blonde guy in the back having an existential crisis, the girl on the far left low-key excited about this idea.

    I remember taking psych 101 or some equivalent and there was an entire 50 minute lecture about Freud. At the end I raised my hand and was like, “This… This is all considered bullshit now, right?” I can’t remember what exactly the answer was, but I do remember that it wasn’t an unequivocal yes. And that scared me.

    Unpopular opinion: I kinda like Freud. Sure, a lot of his ideas were debunked over the years, but he was one of the first people in the field to take women’s mental health seariously. He also thought of homosexuality as something that isn’t a choice and can’t be changed, unlike a lot if his peers.

      Freud had bad ideas, sure. But he was literally one of the first people in history to academically propose that maybe there was something going on with the way people think and the choices they made that they weren’t aware of (the subconscious).

    Fun Freud Fact: He didn’t actually start from the ideas of Oedipal Complexes and Penis Envy.

    That came about because many of his clients were the children of the wealthy, and quite a few of them were reporting sexual abuse, but he couldn’t tell all the rich pricks to stop raping their children in the middle of trying to found psychology as a field of study.
