Gaslighting is when you convince someone their lives experiences aren't real, not when you don't confirm or deny someone's guess.
i think nearly everyone is aware that the word gaslighting has been used improperly online ever since it became popular.
anyway this meme implies that you slyly try to convince them that their guess is wrong and plant doubt in their mind so that the movie's twist will still hold up. i still agree gaslighting isn't the proper word to use.
You know what? You're totally right. It was closer to the definition than I had figured.
