A type of gaslighting, when you fart in public but blame it on someone else and insinuating that they are crazy for thinking otherwise. The "gas" in question here is a fart.
Debbie: *farts*
Kaleb: "Ew Debbie, stop farting!"
Debbie: "Dude, it's been you the whole time. I can't believe you don't notice it. Are you ok? You should see a doctor."
Kaleb: "Really? I'm doing it?"
Susan: "Don't listen to her Kaleb! She's just fartlighting."
Fartlighting is a colloquialism, loosely defined as manipulating someone into questioning their own perception of reality of who or whom farted and is to even question what is a fart?
When someone tries to quickly (fast) gas light you to manipulatively gain the upper hand in undermining you and your position.
It’s done to create fear and simulate their irrational faux beliefs and ideas onto you, in an effort to gain dominance and emotionally guilt trip and emotionally black mail you.
David told Anne she seemed preoccupied with her emotional and herself as the primary participant of the relationship. You only speak about ‘I’ want ‘I’ need. You never speak about ‘us’ Anne.
Anne responded: you’re no better than me, you put me down and hurt my feelings. You don’t make me feel good about myself. I am afraid of being around sometimes.
John to Paul: did you hear how Anne was farcelighting David yesterday? She made him do whatever she wanted.
A form of Digitallighting that uses the “Flat Earth” analogy to gaslight targets into believing their ideas are obviously ridiculous. The perpetrator repeatedly compares the target’s position to Flat Earth theory, often in public spaces, until the target begins to feel that they must be missing something obvious. Even when the target’s ideas are well‑supported, the constant association with a stigmatized belief erodes their confidence. Flatlighting weaponizes social conformity to silence dissent.
Example: “Every time she cited peer‑reviewed research, he posted ‘Flat Earth logic.’ After weeks, she started editing her posts more carefully, wondering if she was being irrational—flatlighting, using mockery to undermine certainty.”
The psychological torment of being blocked by overly aggressive chat filters while trying to have normal conversations. Combination of gaslighting + suffering
