never understood why people can't either debate or shut up

if you can't defend your position you don't get to try to silence your opposition

I don't think gaslighting really applies to anonymous internet trolling. The reason it so often relates to people in intimate relationships is because there's a long standing personal connection through which the pattern of manipulation is expressed. It seems difficult to claim gaslighting in the context of multiple people sharing multiple views on a message board.

you can gaslight someone with one post.

Can you? How do you properly demonstrate gaslighting without a long pattern of behavior to examine? Not to mention that gaslighting as we typically conceive of it involves a lot of isolating as well, which is almost impossible on a message board like this without significant effort. The psychological impact on those who've experienced the typical form of gaslighting is far worse than most of what some might call gaslighting on a message board.

Behavior can be provocative without provoking someone. The results don't determine the action.

Sure, but the question is how are you figuring out which label to use? I'm not convinced this meets the criteria for gaslighting. You haven't demonstrated intent, and the results seem markedly different. Not to mention that we have to isolate something said to affect sanity from something said in earnest.

Do you want to know what 'gaslighting' really is and not some bill nye the science guy-al gore tier bullshit?

Its sort of like how the TV keeps trying to tell me how benevolent all of the migrants in the caravan are when most off the first hand accounts, photo's and videos show a different story. When they keep telling you that massive undocumented waves of immigrants are "good for the country", that is gaslighting.

Then it is followed up by a whole other brand of it, IE.....the detractors saying "nobody is calling for that"....."nobody is calling for your guns"....."nobody is calling for violence against trump"........"its all in your head"......."snopes says its not true"

dont you get it? its very elementary.

A meltdown is what you call somebody saying "I don't Waffles" at a pancake house; that is YOUR definition of a meltdown because you live in a world where you don't believe somebody could type more then 1 paragraph unless they were fueled by rage.....furthermore, i am waiting for you to post the vocaroo clip where you claim im "melting down" but yet you are just lacking basic observation skills to understand that it was acting

"Start doubting reality" wtf is this dumbass buzzword

Nobody on CE is making other CEmen doubt reality

Gaslighting is just a stupid buzzword.

Gaslighting is like if everyone else in the room pretends the lights aren't flickering periodically so one person starts to wonder if they're imagining it. If it goes on long enough and nobody else comes in to call bullshit on it then it starts fucking with the person's head.

It's crazy how fragile one's perception of reality can be.

What's gaslighting ursaring?


It's a tool used for abuse that is meant to cause the victim to start doubting reality and thus, themselves, through subversive techniques. Generally, it's used to change the definitions of terms and is typically used by the alt-right.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying, it attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim's belief.[1][2]

Thats a thing?

If people online are that impressionable then tyey shouldnt be debating in the first place.
