I don't think people really know what gas lighting is :p.

Relatedly, whether you understand the term or not, go watch the movie Gaslight where it comes from. Great film.

I don't necessarily agree with the use of the term in this context, but I took it to mean that it's gaslighting in the sense that when you call it out as a dog whistle meaning "you can now be a POS on our platform", people can respond with stuff like "Wow, so you're anti-free speech? Do you hate America? Why do you want to censor people?" And shit like that, which is gaslighting IMO

Everything is gaslighting when you don't actually know what gaslighting means but just want to use the latest term all your liberal friends use.
