𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘯
A subgenre of gaslighting where one person shifts the blame onto another by insisting that a series of events would have proceeded smoothly if the latter had executed things correctly. However, in reality, even if the second person had attempted to follow the correct order of events, it would have been futile due to the first person's avoidance.
A: "I was too afraid to ask you to stop making me the punchline of every joke, because if I did, I probably would've just been ignored or laughed at!"
B: "No we wouldn't. We would stop if you asked. It's your fault you didn't ask."

A: "B says that I wouldn't have overreacted if I had just asked them to stop making jokes about me in the beginning."
C: "Sounds like they've mastered the art of mislighting."
