I disagree, and that means you’re objectively wrong :)

I’ve presented my point clearly, and feel no need to present it to you individually. Merry Christmas!

Your joke was not that high-brow. Your pretentiousness is showing again.

Ohhh you are referencing the opinion of the assistant professor who studies based on a targeted audience? You got me there!

It was so awful, I refused to acknowledge it. Merry Christmas friend :)

See: above thread. See you at the circus

Lol buddy, you’re lost. It was an open ended thought that it could be perceived as gaslighting, by definition, of manipulating humans perception of reality that they must take care of the cats, simply because the cat presented itself that way. Get the 10 ft pole out of your booty cheeks, and lighten up. I’ve presented my argument and take on the subject, and that’s where I’ll let it lie, as you are incapable of lighthearted discussion.

I kept it light and friendly, you came in quoting subjective opinions and are trying to tell me based on that, I am objectively wrong. How fitting for the topic of discussion.

To that point, words used in modern context are also up for interpretation and free thought. :)

Manipulation of the perception of reality is where my argument comes from. Your rude ass tone and pretentiousness are unwelcome. Have a good one boss.

Did you even read your quote? A subjective stance from an assistant professor of sociology who studies gaslighting IN RELATIONSHIPS AND THE WORKPLACE. That’s a severe lack of a “real definition” my guy. Go watch the 1944 film Gaslight from which the term was coined.

You mean like manipulating humans into believing they are helpless animals that need to be brought in, and taken care of?

The specific kind of psychological manipulation in this case used by cats over millennia, by definition of the word, is gaslighting lol

I think it’s more along the lines of cats gaslighting humans to care for them…that’s where I grew the comparison.
