Immediate Self Contradiction (Feature Type) permalink

Supertypes:

Description

This is for when a character says something clearly contradictory, if not completely opposite, to what they literally said right beforehand. May sometimes happen in the context of a Hurricane of Excuses. When a contradiction seems immediate to the viewer but is not immediate in in-universe time, that would be a Gilligan Cut.
