Using The Count of Monte Cristo as an example:

Curative: "Eugenie Danglars ran off to travel with her friend by posing as said friend's brother."

Analytical: "Dumas most likely intended for us to read Eugenie as a lesbian, given how she was portrayed in the story."

Transformative: Writing a fic about Eugenie and her girlfriend after the end of the story, or in another time and place entirely.

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with approaching fandom solely through one of these angles. There is a problem that some people can't accept that people are doing fandom differently though, and I don't think it's so much that they can't conceptualize fanfiction, it's that they see no point in it, because it's no longer the story they were interested in in the first place. For some people, the joy of fandom is in collecting facts about it, or in extrapolating the author's intentions or messages.

Take this LSD pill and think about having s*x with your mother. How does that make you feel?

Yeah, true science indeed. :marseyeyeroll:

Now many people will say noooo :soyjaktantrum: that's psychoanalysis, psychology is the study of human biases and we use a lot of statistical methodology to prove our hypotheses.

But wtf is the hypotheses based on nerd?

In mathematics, the starting points are axioms of logic

In physics, the fundamental starting point is the effect of forces on objects and particles. This can be electromagnetic, gravitational, atomic etc etc...but it's just how forces affect bodies of mass

In biology it's the causality of different processes happening inside a living organism.

What is psychology's starting point? The point from where the need for a specific branch of knowledge is required which cannot be explained by neurology and others? According to psychologists - The Unconscious part of the mind

The unconscious is the vast sum of operations of the mind that take place below the level of conscious awareness.

Thanks for that info, doc. It'll be easier to kill myself now knowing I wasted $150k on earning a bachelor's in this shit.
