Gainsay: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:28, September 10, 2021

Is the damaging of someones word by disproving what someone is saying. The person you gainsay loses power whilst you gain some.<ref>“It’s really only gainsaying if you tell a lie and someone calls you out on it,” Nicolette said. “They get a bit of the power the other person lost, for doing the spirit’s share of the judgment.” -Excerpt from Leaving a Mark 4.5</ref>

One can avoid gainsaying someone in a conversation.<ref>“I’ve seen what Alexander getting shot did to Lucy,” Avery said. “I saw what Bristow being taken by the Brownies did to Verona. I think it eats away at them in this really quiet, subtle way. And you’re doing this, now?”

“Addressing a problem that faces Kennet,” Rook said.

“I saw what it did to them. Do you want me to shoulder that? Do you want- are you really inviting Zed and Brie and Jessica in, only to make them shoulder that? Because no. No, that’s not okay. No. No.”

“To avoid gainsaying you, I will say it may not be okay,” Rook said, stepping a bit forward. “But it may be necessary. If I may turn the question back on you… what does it say about you all if you aren’t willing to shoulder that?” - Excerpt from False Moves 12.10</ref>

Gainsaying can be seen as a lesser version of forswearing and can even open the way to a forswearing.
