not the breaking up with me part, we hadn't been together for a long time at that point and were just friends, but using me as a plague carrier, sure see, the rules in the relevant social circles are we care about people who are hurt, so if she hurts enough she gets her way

well, I'm not entirely sure this counts as fake consequences. Claiming smoking is harmless is faking consequences. Claiming sexy pixels/porn cause sexism is faking consequences. This... seems to be something else.

those are less substantial levels of fake, yes. this is manufactured consequences, which is a more concrete variety. like, if you nail a narwhal horn to a horse's forehead, it's still a real horse, and it's still a fake unicorn

to be clear i don't mean decisionmaking all the way up at the verbal level that people generally limit their acceptance of responsibility to, i mean the deep routines recognizing that there is an opportunity for power in an emotional stance and rerouting to optimize for it
