Monster to see also list
I added "monster" to the "See also" list and was reverted with a vague summary "not needed". I think the cultural concepts of freaks and monsters are closely related and often overlap, and there is value in linking one to the other. Arguments to the contrary? — swpb T&#8201;•&#8201;go beyond&#8201;•&#8201;bad idea 13:39, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The word, Freaks, in this usage does not refer to monsters, the word is in reference to people. Human beings.  People are not monsters.  Any relation between the two are tenuous at best.  I can see no value added using that word/link here in this particular article.   GenQuest  "scribble" 19:03, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Obviously they're not the same thing; if they were, they'd be the same article. That's not what "See also" means. I can read as well as anyone that this article is about humans. But there is a huge cultural association throughout history of deformed but otherwise perfectly natural humans with supernatural powers and phenomena. One could write a full, well-sourced section on that association, probably a whole article. — swpb T&#8201;•&#8201;go beyond&#8201;•&#8201;bad idea 14:10, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * "Supernatural powers and phenomena"? That doesn't equate to monsters either. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:46, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree with GenQuest. There is no strong connection between the two terms. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:08, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
