Can you stop with this pretense and at this point, gaslighting those who have compassion in their mind.
This isn't what gaslighting means. I wouldn't expect you to know that because, frankly, you're stupid. Kind of like your idol daddy Phil and his frequent misuse of words and phrases when you think about it, but no don't think about it, I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself on account of, you know, the affliction.
The affliction, of course, is that you're stupid.
You see OIC, this is one of the first things that relatively unintelligent people do when speaking with their betters. They use affectation to give off the illusion of a level of intelligence that is—at the least—slightly above average, in the hopes that those with whom they are quibbling fall somewhere a little below the mean. It's a coin flip, but not the worst tactic.
Problem with this is that most people that are stupid, like you, but still wish to engage in debate (and let's be fair, you are
not most people) make up for their lack of intellect with cunning and resourcefulness. Unlike you, they know how to use a PC for something other than donating to a fat autist.
The thing you're typing on is called a computer, OIC. That computer has access to the internet. Believe it or not it's how you fumble your way to this site. Another similar site is called Google. On Google you can find all sorts of fun information, such as the definitions of idioms.
Here's a bit of research, free-of-charge. "Gaslighting" is a term used in psychoanalysis that originates from the 1944 film "Gaslight". In layman's terms (don't worry, I'm compassionate about your curse of stupidity), gaslighting is when you create a false narrative to convince someone they're fucking crazy. Their whole reality doesn't exist. That thing they're worried about? Never fucking happened.
Here would be an example of gaslighting: You ever see the Matrix? Of course you have you little faggot I'm sure you loved that flippy shit. Let's say that the pill Neo took was an intense psychoactive drug that made one not only see shit, but also extremely susceptible to suggestion. After the effects take hold, Morpheus and the gang create this whole narrative that Neo is some chosen one, his world isn't real, his co-workers are agents, there's a world within a world and machines snack on us like Doritos. Meanwhile Tom Anderson is actually at his desk tripping balls and drooling while his boss stares in disgust, finally realizing why the TPS reports haven't reached his desk. That would be gaslighting with an assist, but that would be gaslighting.
Telling you that Phil is entirely a failure of his own making isn't gaslighting just because you feel sorry for him, it's pointing out the flaws in your shitty argument. And, as a reminder so you keep up (I know your attention span sucks), your argument is shitty because you're stupid. You LARP as a smart person. Stop it.
For everyone else that read all this, lol whoops. Sorry you got sucked into a long post, this is entirely to waste OIC's time and give him five minutes to do something other than schizopost or grab more lotion for his buff boy wank sesh. If you're OIC and you made it this far, you should still get AIDS but at least you've learned something.
And don't worry, I'm not gaslighting you... or am I? *spooky noises and finger waving*
