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.
