While I understand his ideas are bad. Fraud is hard to say (atleast for me as someone who only knows Freud passingly). Like if he believed his own ideas, I wouldn’t call him a fraud, just bad
His crackpot theories made psychology a laughingstock of a science and basically killed interest in cognitive research for several decades. I will always hop on board to slander his fraud ass. Maybe he was too high to know what he was doing, I don’t know if I accept that excuse.
Nowadays, he’s only taught in a, “None of what this guy said has any basis in reality, but he basically started the field, so we’re learning this as HISTORY ONLY.” kind of way.
You don’t need to know anything about the content of his work in order to say he is a fraud, as it is accepted as fact by the field of study as a whole.
I do not disagree that his ideas were bad. But fraud /=/ just bad/wrong ideas. Fraud is intentional deception, and I dont know if Freud did that so I can’t take that stance.
2: You’re talking about the times when a valid prescription was a vibrator and cocaine
3: He has been accused of covering up sexual abuse by modern feminist scholars. I’d read those literal scholarly papers on the topic before taking internet comments seriously.
No no, say it with your chest. Freud is absolutely a coke-fiend fraud.

I literally switched majors after having to read Freud, so this is something I can get behind.

Didn’t he bang some of his patients?
Bro and or broette and or brozone:
1: That was Jung

His ideas were extremely misogynistic and used as “scientific” excuses to oppress women and people with disabilities for much of the 20th century
Women got the right to vote in Germany in 1918.
Okay and? Freud was Austrian? And his works were used to oppress ill women or “deviant” women.
