Verb Related to the term "Sealioning," which is bad-faith trolling in the form of asking a series of insincere question that anyone ACTUALLY interested in the topic already know for a fact, or can search for online themselves. In this case, "Prelioning" is when a person posts something highly subjective as if it is fact, and when people ask what the subjective opinion is based on (because some people do have different criteria for forming subjective opinions), the original person will just keep replying "look it up yourself." Someone posting in good faith is happy to give examples -- which in fact they usually do in the Original Post. Anyone suggesting that "facts" not in evidence are nevertheless true on their face is gaslighting.
