Gaslighting is when a serial harasser shows up at your panel with a mob of angry men with the goal of intimidation and then proceeds to tell you and everyone else who will listen that *you* harassed them.https://www.polygon.com/features/2017/6/27/15880582/anita-sarkeesian-garbage-human-vidcon-interview …

Gaslighting is such a constant in my life that whenever I tweet about my own experiences (especially wrt harassment), my mentions are inundated with posts that are purposely meant to make me doubt my motives and especially my own lived reality.

And it works. I have to regularly check in with my team to be reassured and to check my own sanity because a gaslighter’s goal is to make the target confused and create feelings of self-doubt and uncertainty about their own reality.

It's also what men's magazines in the 90s constantly used to advise men to do when confronted by a girlfriend. And we wonder how we got here...

Sudden realization that I should have had a long time ago: The song "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy is also gaslighting advice.

I've come to love the song "Somebody I used to know" because it is a guy going on about his ex ghosting him, then she comes in and slams him: "Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over, but had me believing it was always something that I'd done"

Trying to understand, can’t you just remove such people from your life or accept that their abuse is unwarranted and therefore unimportant? Please explain more, I’m a gaslighting kindergartner.

Sometimes it's difficult to escape from abusive relationships. Also, sometimes it's not a relationship, but a mob that's impossible to ignore.

It never ceases to amaze me how people could think it's so easy to escape abuse and or abusive relationships. If the abuse is occurring at work, it's not so easy to get away from, we all need jobs right?
-
And when the abuser is the president of the United States of America? Or multiple gaslighters pursuing the singleminded goal of Brexit? Not so easy to get away from

Anita, you just justified your own echo chamber. That's not gaslighting, that's you being completely delusional surrounded by people who are willingly enabling you.

You don't have professional knowledge, Anita. You're a scam marketer. My academic and professional credentials run circles around you. You're propped up entirely by uncritically positive media spin and corporate handouts. You are a confirmed liar, bully, and probably a sociopath.

I bet she'll accuse you that you've gaslighted her with your reply, lol.

Why do you trigger so many men, especially those in the gaming industry and or gaming hobbyists...? I actually feel like I would be alienated from my social circles for agreeing or liking anything related to you... Why?

Because a lot of sub-sections of the community have built a kind of straw version of her that they build up in each other's heads and pin whatever grievance they can make stick to that cognitive effigy. They battle against the straw version of her while disregarding the real.

Most of them don't really even parse her own words themselves, they just existing in the echo chamber of, "Did you hear what horrible thing she just said!?" It just kind of builds up as they egg each other on. The conversation makes substantive discussion impossible.
