What the fuck does this even mean?
new zoomer dialect meaning they’re stupid and emotionally unstable basically
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition
Comes from an old play/movie from the 1940s iirc.
Yeah, and it’s used by weak minded zoomers who think everything they’re too stupid to comprehend is a 4d chess move personal attack
Nah, it's more like an abuse of trust. Like telling your child that Tarzan is real and then when they find out that he's not and confront you you go: "Well of course he's not, are you that dumb?"
It can be played as a joke between friends, but it can also be used in a harmful manner, clearly
there is not a single real instance of a person using the term gaslighting where the person was actually gaslit.
I have often been told by women that I've gaslit them when I actually have been doing it. Usually I just do it in such a way that they deserve to be made fun of
I can’t believe these people have never interacted with people on a genuine level.
Gaslighting is real, and some people are very very good at it.
>having such a shitty memory and grasp on reality that you can be manipulated this easily
Sounds like they deserve it tbh.
It works on you, anon.
Well it's mostly used against women by domestic abusers, although in recent year it's gotten very popular as part of progressive propaganda to tell people progressives aren't doing the things they are
>remind girlfriend how much of a drunk mess she was when i picked her up, found her literally passed out in a friend's garden
>STOP GASLIGHTING ME
left the bitch
Are you trying to gaslight us into believing that you had a gf? Because you didn't, incel.
Umm no sweety that's just the voices in your head
>Comes from an old play/movie from the 1940s iirc.
Some theatre geek just made that up to add more culture and legitimacy to the word
womens trap card when they lose an argument
A scape goat mechanism mentally unstable women use to get out of arguments.
Playing dumb
Essentially just lying, except it's lying to the person about something they did or said. At least that was my take
It’s basically what discord trannies do on here 24/7
It goes beyond lying, it means trying to make someone doubt their own perception of the world. In the film he gaslights his wife by leaving the gas light on when he's supposed to be out of the house so she thinks she's leaving it on and forgetting.
Telling a woman something they don’t want to hear.
Holding a woman responsible for her own actions
Gaslighting is a manipulation technique but as more and more normies use the word, it's starting to have the same meaning as "lying". You're gaslighting me = you're lying to me.
It's similar to how the word incel now could mean anything from virgin to domestic terrorist
its what complete sociopaths do to people they tell you what is blatantly fact is wrong.
Like leftists.
translation:
>my opinions are facts and anyone who disagrees with me is a leftist
like this
telling you you're biased is not gaslighting you you hysterical womanly gay
>say leftists gaslight
>a leftist immediately starts gaslighting
ok groomer
Lying about things that are obvious, trying to make the other person doubt their own eyes. Like when leftists tell you a chud is a trans woman or morons aren't violent savages by nature.
reddit term
zoomer buzzword that was never commonly used or circulated with its current meaning until the 2016 election, assuring us that anyone you see using it in this context is an underage tourist
Maybe Gassy from Sonnie With A Chance, damn Demi was a qt in the day, couldn't sing worth a tree stump, but cute.
It means you have the upper hand in an argument, and rather than refute anything you say, the women attacks you by calling you a liar and a scoundrel who's trying to manipulate her
It's better to have the upper hand than to be some faggy butt boi on the bottom.
Just wait until the bitch calls you a "masher." That go down well.
Idea: Some manipulative people constant tell their partner a lie over and over to warp their sense of reality and cause them to doubt themselves. If I tell my wife she's forgetful a thousand times, she might legitimately believe she is in the future and doubt her own ability to remember things
How it's used: "Did you just say I'm wrong? Uhh that's....fucking GASLIGHTING" -Woman (this is the first time she is being told she's wrong in her life)
>BY A PACK OF BLACK VELOCIRAPTORS
my sides right now
Gaslighting isn't real, you made it up because you're crazy and you always do this.
kek it's funny though because it's true
Nice
Nice.
She cannot act
She hit the wall so hard, I can't fap to this.
Watching attractive women demean themselves and wither with age gets me rock hard. It's why I watch Findom porn that I pirated and they spend the entire clip talking about how much I spent and the disconnect between their words and my actions turns me on in a way that escapes words.
I can fap to this.
I need some of what you're smoking
You want a cigarette made out of my ground up toenails mixed with mint leaves?
Wh-- I mean is that what you're smoking? I'll grind up some toenails and smoke mint if it'll make me actually a psycho
Just grinding them up and adding Mint doesn't make you a psycho. Believing in them is what does it.
>Believing in them is what does it
Believing in your toenails?
Don't tell anyone but I save my toenails in a big drawer under some sweaters.
Yes. If you don't believe in your toenails you won't be able to masturbate to findom clips you've pirated.
Follow me into the future!
Don't those freaks in Haiti read toenails for the voodoo future. It hasn't done very well for them.
You mean that Andes mints don't make me feel fresh and clean like mother wants?
I lovd the anxiety of gaslighting plots. Like when a guy with magic powers is locked in an asylum, and they try to convince him that magic isn't real.
>Like when a guy with magic powers is locked in an asylum, and they try to convince him that magic isn't real.
Sounds like kino
It's called Legion. Exists in marvel universe. He's a mutant with very strong psychic powers living in a mental hospital but he thinks he just has schizophrenia. The first season is pretty good
That Buffy episode was kino
Made for a really good episode of Ash vs. The Evil Dead
Hate how this film has popularized the term so much that people use it in every argument, even when it doesn't apply
>thinking zoomers watch this post-wall shit and not tiktok
gaslighting is a term that women use whenever they use FEELINGS instead of THOUGHTS ie. always
I bet this line will age well.
This film used it but it was already (annoyingly) popular as a term.
>Hate how this film has popularized the term
That’s actually Steely Dan’s fault. I got curious about how the term seemingly popped up out of nowhere so I fucked around google searching specific time frames and there’s two things that really cause an increase in usage.
Prior to 2000 mentions of the term “gaslighting” are very sparse and mostly confined to psychiatric publications defining the term while also saying it’s uncommon. In 2000 though Steely Dan releases “Two Against Nature”, their first album in 20 years. It’s a big success, goes platinum and wins the Grammy for album of the year, and it features a song called “Gaslighting Abbie”. When the album is released many reviews explain the term and linguistic blogs dig into the origins of it.
The word then has consistent usage throughout the 00s. It’s not super common but used way more than before the album. Wikipedia starts a page for the term in 06, various articles use it (most explain what it is though indicating it’s still a bit obscure), weirdly I remember finding a couple big threads on somethingawful talking about the term in the late 00s.
Anyway in 2012 huffington post runs an article where some guy is promoting his book about psychology and manipulation and pretty much the whole article is defining the term “gaslighting”. Right after that article, and probably influenced by it, the term gets picked up and used in a lot of articles discussing future NFL player Manti Te’o who was the victim of a hoax involving a fake girlfriend he only knew online who he believed had died. Anyway after that the popularity of the term just keeps growing exponentially.
I blame Steely Dan though. They resurrected the term.
Zoomers don't listen to Steely Dan, especially comeback Steely Dan.
It got a resurgence in popularity because mentally ill women are obsessed with psychiatry.
This. Maybe steely Dan used it, but now redditors use it in any instance they are losing an argument
Well the term entered mainstream prevalence a decade ago so I’m not sure what zoomers have to do with it but it seems pretty clear that Steely Dan is responsible for starting the process of bringing back a term from the 40s that had faded into obscurity.
Zoomers live in that millennial head rent free because he's still ass mad about how boomers treated him.
Steely Dan didn't start any process. They're not relevant.
Zoomers = young people
Boomers = old people
welcome to 4chin.
Out of the loop boomers. Zoomers love Steely Dan for some ungodly reason.
They like early 70's Dan.
All those words and you’re still a retard
all those words and you can't read
My favorite line of the movie
>"Gregory, you're gaslighting me!"
why are normies so fucking retarded? Seriously does anyone have an explanation as to why they are all so dumb?
was he trying to turn her into a chud?
Gaslighting is what the US media does every day
GASLIGHTING
The thing that annoys me about the term is that it ignores the fact the two people may view the same situation entirely differently with no ill intent. Accusing someone of gaslighting implies malice on the other party’s part instead of realizing that different viewpoints exist and it serves as a way to shield yourself from self reflection by saying you’re being manipulated instead off having to examine your own perspective.
Yes I’m aware there are people that intentionally Machiavellian manipulators but that is almost never how I see the term used.
That is indeed how terms like this gets watered down to the point where the term loses all it's meaning. Whenever someone uses it, it's far more likely that it's because the person (usually a woman) is so caught up in whatever emotion they are feeling that they can't handle anyone correcting or contradicting what they say, it's a really dumb reflexive defense to make themselves feel in the right.
ok adum
why not just say "you're trying to fool me"?
Because it makes it sound like you're just playing a cheeky game, whereas women want to make you sound like a psychopath with the entire body of psychiatry on her side.
Liberals use tons of words as dogwhistles. They do it so that someone will come and defend whatever they claim
That's not politically loaded. It's too personal, levelheaded and reasonable. Accusing the other of something systematic bears far greater implications of guilt.
Daily reminder this movie is basically the director recounting his divorce with an actress
Also, don’t sleep with your husband for a year and then act shocked when some
other broad makes him coom. Simple as.
What a stupid word, I hate it. What does it have to do with gas and lights?
Is it like a 19th century thing from the gas lights used on the streets?
Apologies for the extra gringe to the native English speakers.
You did not see the gaslight on in the attic.
i hold a light to your face and say India doesn't exist you are imagining it.
I am not Indian but aren't the decomposing corpses rivers real? Where you can take a swim and drink the soothing nectar?
me and my brother constantly gaslight one another for fun. It's gotten so bad that we can no longer trust each when we try to state facts. lol
its an intimidation technique the best example ive seen is when a thug is attacking someone and the thug will protest that he isn't doing anything. Really common in shithole countries.
I like how 98% of the feminists/trannies/reddit misunderstand and misapply that term.
example "there is no such thing as white genocide"
>genocide
It's ethnocide.
I would just say anti-white sentiment in general. It's clearly increasing but you're made out to be scum if you ever point out, many mainstream sites just ban you, this manipulation play is fucking scary.
I don't think even leftists can deny this one. I know Jimmy Dore at least has pointed out the contradiction in simultaneously celebrating the demographic change in the US and calling "the great replacement" a racist conspiracy theory.
has anyone noticed that every time leftists get triggered on here they start spamming shit in the catalogue.
Its so predictable at this point,
My most memorable example, if she got angry, you eventually get angry, would then claim you're always getting angry, when I would literally never be the one to first get angry.
You can't you gays control your women?
my dad used to always tell me i was a violent drunk, despite me never drinking.
Why don't libs or women ever call out trannies for attempting to gaslight all of society?
There's pro-trans people on the right too. Social issues and the actual politics of how a country is ran isn't exactly the same thing. You can have disagreements on multiple topics even within the same party.
Like if you made a margarine product and wanted to call it “literally butter” people would would look askance at you but trannies think anyone buys their claim that they are women.
i think gaslighting is most common in socialist countries. But people develop an immunity to gaslighting, basically they play along with it but understand its all lies.
This drives the psychopathy of the farleftists because they then need to stamp out wrong think.
Was out for a meal with my parents yesterday and my dad almost stormed out because my mom kept saying he was gaslighting and he kept saying that's not what it means
Trying to change someone's definition of gaslighting sounds like an impossible connundrum.
This word has lost all meaning. The original meaning makes sense, but nowadays it's used by people who have no argument and desperately lash out in order to avoid the horrible fate of self-reflection, hoping they can turn others against you by labeling you a manipulator rather than actually making some sense.
I watched this film with my (now) ex a few years ago, I swear she used it as a playbook. Literally did everything scarjo does in the movie, even accused me of gaslighting. Don't watch this movie with gf/wives fellas
Did she just say a heckin' currentyear buzzword? *gives Oscar*
Gas lighting? More like ass fighting!
I don't know what's dumber: gaslighting or gatekeeping. Like you tell someone you think X is bad, and someone replies that you're gatekeeping. What?
