Also the profession from the comic is a 'lamplighter', not 'gaslighter'.

Gaslighting used to be a more colorful, sinister description of the act of manipulation. To be gaslit involved careful reorganization or reassessment of events, often traumatic. Now it’s a synonym for lying. Reminds me of tumblr diminishing “trigger warnings”
