To explain in a condescending, oversimplified, and often inaccurate manner, without regard to the fact that the explainee knows more than the explainer, usually done by a man to a woman.
Not all condescending explanations are mansplaining; the term does not apply when the man in question is indeed more knowledgeable about the topic than the woman.
Mansplaining usually occurs on the topic of sexism, feminism, or gender inequality, but not always. For example, a male programmer could mansplain coding to a woman, despite the woman having more qualifications and writing better-quality code.
Related terms include whitesplain, straightsplain, and cisplain. The overarching thread is someone privileged explaining something to someone less privileged, about a topic the explainer knows less about.

"The anime was weird. It started as a good ol' mindfuck and yandere anime, but then it turned into all gore and fucked-up shit. Then after the plot twist that the Yandere committed suihomicide to be with her love interest who died in the first world, it finally turned into a love story more fucked up than Romeo and Juliet."
