I had forgotten just how weird the queerness was in Farscape. In my mind it was subtle, but no. A few episodes earlier we had another male actor stroking another's crotch while pinning him against the wall.

It's bringing up memories of how strange the vibe was in the 00's I'd just kind of memory holed too. Some of this is admittedly Farscape weirdness, but it's channeling a genuine element of gay repression and expression of the time.

EDIT: Everyone in this episode is bi as hell. Right after the character in the OP screenshot starts making out with a woman, then later that woman is making out with another woman. I loved this show as a kid, I am starting to think this show was a lot more formative for me than I gave it credit for lol.

I honestly didn't realize the term was in pop-cultural usage that far back, god damn

That one goes waaay back.

The term "gaslighting" was coined from the 1938 British play called Gas Light, in which a husband manipulates a wife into thinking she is crazy by slyly changing the intensity of the gas lights in their home when she is left alone. He does this in an attempt to make her believe she cannot trust herself or her memory.

Social media found it recently but that term goes way back
