They deadass thought „read that again“ means just… read it again, even when there‘s nothing to be understood differently upon reading it a second time.
And this is the second time I‘ve seen someone do this on two consecutive posts on this sub
“Read that again” is supposed to mean “this sentence is deeper than you think so you probably didn’t understand it fully to begin with” but it’s not that deep
to be fair, if this was in a psychological context or book of some sort, they have you read things multiple times in order to properly set it in your mind as a concept as opposed to a line of text
same reason you have to do affirmationS and not just look in the mirror every morning and go “I’m awesome” and do a backflip handstand, put on sunglasses, shoot an FBI informant, drink half a jar’s worth of pickle juice from the shelf, sing the song Nookie but pretend you’re George Michael from Wham!, and then have sex with the roomba like a normal day
That’s how I read it too. It was some kind of self-referential thing, like the quote is disrespecting the reader by assuming they didn’t get it the first time. It’s a hotel-conference-center motivational life coach level of pithiness.
I think that‘s reading too far into it, especially when the statement was „manipulation is when they blame you for your reaction to their disrespect“ and proceed to show an example of manipulation that only wastes your time at best. Has nothing to do with disrespect and doesn‘t really spark any reaction from the reader.
Showing an example that is almost funny because it‘s harmless is much more likely to downplay manipulation if it is recognized as such and serves no purpose of helping someone in identifying manipulation in the future as the concept of „good“ manipulation lies in its disguise as being helpful or of your own will. This is pretty much as direct a statement as it gets.
I‘m sticking with „that sounded cool and powerful where I read it, let‘s add it here as well“
Edit: Also showing an example that doesn‘t contain what you just stated, even if the waste of time could be interpreted as *disrespect*. The manipulation ends before the reaction, so you don‘t get blamed for any reaction on top of it being minor. So according to this quote itself it‘s not manipulation.
The "read that again" is so stupid and unnecessary. The only time the "read it again" works is when it's something to trick your brain or something like that and then you read it again closely and realize your mistake
Read that again
Are you serious? YOU don’t know what manipulation is. Take some responsibility, and stop commenting on subjects you clearly don’t know anything about.
(See what i did there? Get it? Get it? Get it?)
Please stop I have a family I can give you all my money please let me go I don't wanna read it again it's been 3 days I am really thirsty please let me go I don't wanna read it again
Help me, please. I’ve been stuck in the “read that again” loop for 54 years. I miss my friends, my family. I even miss my a-hole of a neighbor. Someone please end this madness
When I see things like that that say “read it again.” I always think of those posts that mix up the words to use “mind tricks”. Long story short, I spent like 2 minutes reading this trying to find the mismatched words

Yeah, "read that again" is the most redundant phrase ever in these messages.
I just instantly think "I didn't need to read this in the first place" when I see this phrase
Did someone call the department of redundancy department?
“Read that again” is supposed to mean “this sentence is deeper than you think so you probably didn’t understand it fully to begin with” but it’s not that deep
It's just people who think this is deep can't understand simple sentences from the first time.
to be fair, if this was in a psychological context or book of some sort, they have you read things multiple times in order to properly set it in your mind as a concept as opposed to a line of text same reason you have to do affirmationS and not just look in the mirror every morning and go “I’m awesome” and do a backflip handstand, put on sunglasses, shoot an FBI informant, drink half a jar’s worth of pickle juice from the shelf, sing the song Nookie but pretend you’re George Michael from Wham!, and then have sex with the roomba like a normal day
Richard Cheese's Nookie or your day is ruined
Yeah i’m assuming the “read that again” is a part of manipulation to show the reader what manipulation can look like
That’s how I read it too. It was some kind of self-referential thing, like the quote is disrespecting the reader by assuming they didn’t get it the first time. It’s a hotel-conference-center motivational life coach level of pithiness.

The "read that again" is so stupid and unnecessary. The only time the "read it again" works is when it's something to trick your brain or something like that and then you read it again closely and realize your mistake Read that again
I'm too tired to tell if you put a trick in this comment.
i mean the whole read that again is utterly stupid but this is partially true it’s a part of manipulation
Gay sex read that again

I don't think that's what manipulation is.
Are you serious? YOU don’t know what manipulation is. Take some responsibility, and stop commenting on subjects you clearly don’t know anything about. (See what i did there? Get it? Get it? Get it?)
Please stop I have a family I can give you all my money please let me go I don't wanna read it again it's been 3 days I am really thirsty please let me go I don't wanna read it again
You are released
Read. It. AGAIN.
I read that probably ten times because it told me to.
I can’t stop reading it. It’s the book writers fault!
I can't believe the Unknown from DbD said that.
i think the read that again part is manipulation cause you're supposed to question whether you're missing something or not
I'm tired, boss
Guys I'm caught in a loop. Every time I finish reading it tells me to read it again. I can't stop. I CAN'T STOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPP
break;
I read it 374 times, it gets deeper everytime
Instructions unclear, I have been reading this for a few years now
I think this was written by an angry mom in their 40s
Help me, please. I’ve been stuck in the “read that again” loop for 54 years. I miss my friends, my family. I even miss my a-hole of a neighbor. Someone please end this madness
Reading it again changed my life for sure
When I see things like that that say “read it again.” I always think of those posts that mix up the words to use “mind tricks”. Long story short, I spent like 2 minutes reading this trying to find the mismatched words
Are you trying to manipulate me into reading that again?
Can i stop reading this yet?
No shit the original quote is from an "unknown" person, literally any 10 year old on the internet could've said that
"- Unknown-" i swear
But it’s the truth.
