surely no one in academia cares at this point

You must understand that historians are not allowed to cum unless they're calling someone a crackpot fraud.

AUTISM

Recent discourse reminds me of that cult indoctrination trick that's often used to weed out more difficult marks early on, where they tell you all that you aren't allowed to eat rice on Tuesdays and then if you protest they go "wow SOMEBODY likes rice a little much huh" as if you're the fucking weirdo who cares too much about how much rice is consumed between Monday and Wednesday instead of them.

And this forces you to decide whether your autonomy matters to you more than the approval of the group - while they'll still act like you're on thin ice either way, if you give in at this point they know you're theirs forever, because now they've established a foothold, you've shown a moral weakness, which they will brand you with so it can be used against you in the future ("hey RICE-addict here doesn't want help break into the city records office") to force you to double-down and isolate you further.

And if instead you do decide to push back further, after your abrupt departure from the group ("You're seriously leaving us over RICE?!? Seriously?") and subsequent ostracism, you can then be used as a demonstration to the others who were more pliable, of how the outgroup is full of people like you who are obsessed with violating the No-Tuesday-Rice rule to the point where they'll abandon all their friends, who cared so much for them, so it clearly isn't an arbitrary restriction, you're the kind of monster these rules are intended to protect them from, thus all the other wise and esoteric precepts of the charismatic leader are implied to be equally justified.

ok I haven’t seen X-Men ‘97 yet but

are the writers actually applying not only the “psychic rapport using a very particular phrase to describe it” plot point but also the “they get separated in a way that makes them think the other dead, and the non-telepath tries to move on by dating someone else, which doesn’t end up being serious but helps him open up as a person” plot point to Erik and Charles?

because those are plot points from the original Dark Phoenix saga. those are from Scott and Jean’s storylines. those are originally explicitly romantic plot points.

like. the Chris Claremont run is what made the X-Men what they are today, and the Dark Phoenix saga is often considered the crown jewel of that run. I’m not saying this is absolutely definitely intentional, but this is a staff that choreographed Cyclops’ fights after how he plays in Marvel vs Capcom. they know their shit, X-Men wise.

"I SAY, I SAY, WHAT'S THE MATTER, SON, AIN'T THIS WHAT YA WANTED? THE DEMON DONE SHOWN YOU YOUR HEART'S DESIRE! SAY SOMETHING, BOY! YER GUMS IS FLAPPIN' BUT AIN'T NO NOISE COMING OUT! SPEAK UP, I CAN'T HARDLY HEAR YA! YOU WANTED TO KISS YOUR SISTER, RIGHT? GIVE HER A BIG OL' SMOOCH AND NOW YER ACTIN' LIKE A FOX THAT'S TOO GOOD FOR THE HENHOUSE! YOU AIN'T GOT NO CONVICTION, BOY! YOU GOTTA GO FOR IT WHEN THE GETTIN' IS GOOD!

...nice kid, but about as bright as a dark room."
