Just saw someone toot that catharsis was invented in the 'steam punk era' whatever that is.

I am not engaging directly with someone spouting such obviously nonsense, but in case you were wondering: catharsis is Ancient Greek and was identified by Aristotle and it's very much valid.

The whole thread reeks of puriteen nonsense, please do not engage.

...steampunk psychology?

I'm actually really curious as to what else they think falls into that category.
