A Digitallighting technique where the perpetrator frames everything the target says as “nonsense,” “doesn’t make sense,” or “irrational,” often while twisting the target’s words to create apparent contradictions. The goal is to make the target doubt their own coherence and feel that they are being unreasonable. Senselighting often involves selective quoting, misreading, and insisting that the target’s statements are incomprehensible—even when they are perfectly clear. It weaponizes the desire to be understood, turning clarity into confusion.

Example: “She explained her position three times, each time he said ‘that doesn’t make sense.’ When she stopped replying, he posted ‘see, she can’t explain herself.’ Senselighting: pretending confusion to create it.”

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.
