Good morning! Let's talk about gaslighting! Gaslighting, one of the most psychologically damaging types of harassment, is when serial abusers present false information or a false narrative to make you doubt your own memory, perceptions, sanity, or professional knowledge.

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.

Fuck gaslighting. You aren't crazy.

No one's buying that nonsense, Anita... we've all seen the same video from Vidcon '17 from multiple angles. You trashed a group of content creators, who are also your critics, just for being in your presence, and you were on a educational platform at the time.
-
She is trying to get sympathy for a clearly bad situation PR wise. She should have been banned.
-
I agree, but unfortunately, the Vidcon Code of Conduct states that the organizers "reserve the right" to ban guests and attendees. They didn't toss Anita, even after she weaponized her power and platform to trash & belittle attendees. Twice. Talk about privilege.

You really think they were there to harass you? You're delusional. No doubt you've had harassers, but not everyone who disagrees with you is there to harass you.
-
You should watch/listen to some Feminist Frequency Radio,
@carolynmichelle and@ebonyaster disagree with Anita all the time and she's never accused them of harassment. Could it be that you're just being disingenuous? (No need to answer, it's plain to see that you are.) -
Well we're obviously not talking about them. She's accused Sargon of harassing her, when she broke the rules of years convention.
-
Let me fix that for you: She correctly identified Carl Benjamin attempting to harass her, turned the tables on him and exposed him for a whiny manbaby he is. But thanks for playing.
-
Let me help you. No, they weren't causing a disturbance.
-
lol it was obviously a deliberate act of intimidation and disturbance, meant to throw off the target. we know you people are smart enough to understand this, you just won't admit it. if playing dumb is how you want to keep going about this, welp, fine, keep looking dumb.
-
Actually no it wasn't. You obviously don't know what hostile acts, or hostile intent means. I've seen more people disturb Ben Shapiro lectures.
-
Playing dumb it is!

So is gaslighting when you harass people in the audience of vidcon and proceed to try and convince everyone that in fact, you were the one who was being harassed, by a passive member of the audience.

But...you did antagonize them. They didn't say anything until you insulted then, they were just sitting there. This isn't me gaslighting, this is me having seen the footage a couple times.

No. No its not. gas·light ˈɡaslīt/Submit verb gerund or present participle: gaslighting manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity. You got triggered when sargon was sitting at your panel and you called him a garbage human.

what do you call it when someone redefine a word, say like harrassment, to include things which shouldn't be in it? like say, disagreement.

Do you believe that you have the right to give a public talk without your critics (both male and female) being able to attend and listen politely - and maybe ask questions civilly at the end? Freedom of speech is not freedom from criticism.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwcRc5LuElA …

So when you call an audience member a "shithead" and a "garbage human" from the stage, is that better or worse? If you had said nothing then nothing would have happened. You've made your bed, now sleep in it.
