I think it boils down to having issues about stories set in high school. Although that doesn't explain Angel, so I dunno.
I can totally sympathize about the high school thing. I was really resistant to it for a long time, and pretty much got sucked in in the end because I have a thing for Anthony Stewart Head (Giles). *Shrugs* Like everything, it's not for everybody.
And yeah, the thing about psychoanalytic criticism is that it's applicable occasionally... which makes people think it's always applicable. Very frustrating.
