Gatekeeping. Actually if I like something, it’s good, and if you disagree you’re gatekeeping.
Gatekeeping gets an unfair rap in my opinion. Like yes: I think a lot of us would agree that a bunch of neckbeards arguing vehemently about whether or not fans of the sequel trilogy are real star wars fans are complete wastes of human beings but "Nazi Punks fuck off" is also gatekeeping and is actually pretty fucking cool.
Edit: with Gaslighting people have basically just completely forgotten that the person doing the gaslighting has to actually be aware that they're lying. Two or more people having divergent memories or views on an experience they both share doesn't automatically mean one person is gaslighting.
Gaslighting. It has truly transcended it's original meaning to just mean "You're abusive for disagreeing with me"

I mainly find gaslighting annoying when it's used to refer to just lying.
I’ve been trying to limit it to people telling me to “relax” just because I’m disagreeing with them
