kaduFun fact, the movie out of which this word comes from is available in high resolution for free on PeerTube, the Fediverse’s answer to YouTube.
Vidiverse search isn’t working on the instance I use. You gotta link to “1944 Gaslight” for the underprivileged?
Pretty sure the phrase is gas lamping, I don’t know anyone that uses the phrase gaslighting.
None of these, including the cartoon are examples of gaslighting. This is much more complicated than just telling someone they don’t remember something as they see it in their mind. It’s a series of ongoing purposeful lies to manipulate someone into your control. It’s the same type of misconstrued understanding of bullying. If someone treats you like an asshole - it does not mean they’re a bully… It just means they’re an asshole. Bullying is comprised of an ongoing mental/physically manipulation of someone in order to dominate them. Other examples of new gen cherry picking include the miss used “anxiety” and “OCD”. I work with teenagers who use social media too much and love to self diagnose and/or mislabel.
