"just kidding" (in the way it's used here) is like a big flashing sign that there's gaslighting happening.

2023-07-11 13:48:15 +0000 UTCThe repeated use of the "just kidding" as a not quiet kidding but not committing kind of reminds me of how memes are used sometimes in radicalization. By stating it as a joke, you can both start to normalize the concept but also more easily deflect criticism from outsiders who might be concerned. They must be crazy it's just a joke after all. Even Utena is questioning it as a joke despite her experience with him.
