institutional gaslighting

Institutional Gaslighting: When a group of respected people within an institution are posed as investigating on the victim’s behalf, but in actuality act to belittle or deny the reality of the harm committed in order to protect the institution’s reputation, the institution can cause the victim to question their own perceptions of reality, feelings, instincts, and even sanity. When an authority figure incites self-doubt in the victim, they are employing a tactic of emotional abuse referred to as “gaslighting, a term coined in reference to domestic abuse.” Perpetrators, whether they are individuals or institutions, use “gaslighting” to get what they want, typically “without ever taking responsibility for their actions or even their precipitating desires.” When an institution gaslights a victim in order to protect its own reputation, the institutional betrayal silences, invalidates, and harms recent survivors in their most vulnerable states.

instupituous

this neologism stems from the seminal hip-hop release deltron 3030 by the group of the same name (dan the automator, del tha funkee homosapien, kid koala), specifically track 3, "the fantabulous rap extravaganza."

usage: instupituous refers to something that is beyond dope, possibly interspatial, maybe boasting jet propulsion or at least better rhymes than any you've ever heard, including the time your cousin d-pennyweight busted freestyles for an hour and a half while you and your girl jammed to it by a bonfire on the beach out of the back of a 1967 chevy nova.
