Anyone that wants to use the term “gaslighting” should watch one of the films it originated from.

There was more than one film because it was adapted from a play.
I’m not really sure what you’re going for because that link doesn’t go anywhere. Doing a cursory search of gaslight(1944) doesn’t bring anything up either). Are you sure you’re remembering properly?
And apparently the 1944 film is a reboot of the 1940 British film of the same name.
I’m pretty sure they’re joking.
It looks like my mock gaslightijg was more effective than anticipated

OP left out a parenthesis.
That’s not really gaslighting though.
Agreed. This could have been a much better strip.
No it couldn’t.
Hm, last time this comic was posted you did agree it was gaslighting.
People seem to think any sort of disagreement is gaslighting now lol
Not really. You made that up.
That’s better
- Gaslight
- Gatekeep
- Girlboss
Once there was mysterious gas arising from a crack in the ground. The gas was flammable, and when lit the light emitted turned anything illuminated into a female. No where else was this magic found, so fortifications were built around the crack to control and protect it, and they were staffed strongly and continuously. There was but one designed access point, and but one person that controlled the opening and closing of that access point: the girl-light gas-keep gate-boss.
?
Interestingly the term “gaslighting” is often cited in the film “Gaslight” as a person slowly changing the gas light level in the house and convincing an occupant that the level is still the same. This never happens in the film. The “tricking” part in the film has nothing to do with the gas lamp and it changing is completely unintentional (yet still important).
Are you saying that gaslighting itself is a Mandela effect ??
I don’t want this info getting around. Stop posting about it!
Ah, well, you know. Now that people learnt about it, they’re going to see it everywhere.
No, they aren’t! They’re all individuals!
dammit I can’t figure out this one
Ah, you’re talking about the Streisand effect where a cat will be put in a deadly box and regardless the outcome in the end the topic is Hitler.
Is this true or are you gaslighting us?
You mean gas-lighted? That’s the term. Always has been.
They were called Lamplighters IIRC.

That’s the one.
In the original series there was an entire episode dedicated to whether he wanted to break up with someone because they were incompatible or because he was bothered by her saying “that’s so funny” instead of laughing.

That’s not funny.
That’s so funny.
