Are we in a court of law now? I am not obligated to do anything. I don’t need to go fetch tweets out of my ass whenever “random guy on Twitter” wants me to.

New definition: gaslighting
Gaslighting is an manipulation tactic to abuse victims by instilling doubt in their own thoughts and perceptions by denying, misdirecting, and lying to them.
Ex:
“That was racist.”
“No, it wasn’t.”

see what is going on here. Well played man. Well played.
I know what it is supposed to mean, but it's just another way of playing the victim card. Oh, you are oppressing me, oh you are triggering me, oh you are gaslighting me. Bullshit. You are responsible for your own thoughts.

Gaslighting comes from the movie “Gaslight” in which an abusive flickers the lights, walks around in the attic, and does other weird things and tells his wife it’s all in her head and she’s mentally unstable. It is a real, regularly used abuse tactic. Abuse causes PTSD. Triggers.

That's interesting. I wasn't aware of the origin. It's unfortunate that the term is being thrown around so lightly. Regardless though, we are all responsible for our own perceptions and analysis of reality. Every person is responsible for their own actions and thoughts.

If I tell you your mother's abusive but you know she hasn't done anything wrong to you, and you start to believe she really is abusive, that's gaslighting. I can use that because my own mother was.

It's actually the opposite of playing the victim card. We're playing the not-gonna-be-your-victim card. You are gaslighting. Your observations are not valid. You are responsible for trying (but failing) to gaslight others.
