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.

The term gaslighting doesn’t mean people AREN’T responsible for their own thoughts. It means a person who is making valid observations about the world are being told their perceptions are wrong/they are crazy by someone who benefits from making them doubt their grasp of reality.

Take a look at the cancel culture and its proponent's constant attempts to "reeducate" anyone who speaks against it and see if what you describe in not exactly what's happening there. Yet, I hold each individual responsible to use their own rational judgement.

Of course. That is compelled labor = slavery. Every person has the right to their own labor and no one has the right to compel you to labor to take, by force, the fruits of such labor.

Being responsible for your own perception includes the ability to recognized with someone is gaslighting you and responding to them accordingly. Pretty much like not falling for a lie; so why are so aggravated by this concept?

If it's "thrown around so lightly" or not is completely irrelevant. Gaslighting absolutely exists whether you want to accept it or not. Your obvious ignorance on the subject makes no difference. Gaslightings' existence doesn't negate any form of personal responsibility 1/2
