A Digitallighting tactic that accuses the target of being a “charlatan,” “con artist,” or “fraud,” often based solely on their beliefs, practices, or experiences. Conlighting is frequently paired with prooflighting and psycholighting: the perpetrator demands impossible evidence of sincerity or efficacy, then uses the target’s failure to meet those demands as “proof” that they are intentionally deceiving others. It is especially common against spiritual practitioners, alternative healers, and anyone whose worldview falls outside strict scientific materialism. Conlighting weaponizes suspicion to destroy credibility.
