blackplaining fatigue

When someone who is a strong advocate for social justice is utterly and absolutely tired of beating their head against a wall trying to explain to ignorant assholes with what you would think is unequivocal evidence, that racism exists

I have blackplaining fatigue from arguing with the willfully ignorant on facebook.

baysplaining

A Baysplainer can be characterized as someone who didn’t grow up in the Bay Area (probably not even California), most likely works in tech, eats at “hole in the wall” restaurants (I.e. restaurants that used to actually be a hole in the wall, but was taken over by a new Asian/fusion spot), considers themselves a “foodie”, most likely lives in the City or Oakland, goes to Outside Lands, wears their work badge to the bars, and so on.

A Baysplainer tends try to explain to a local “the best parts of the Bay”, the local community, etc., and doesn’t realize the impact they may have had on the local community by moving here and thus, affecting the job market, housing market, influencing the quick rise of gentrification, etc.

I was talking to someone who works in tech and they started Baysplaining about what the Bay Area is like.

blacksplain

Shrugging off someone's sharing of information or knowledge on a subject, especially topics of race or culture, as being motivated by their whiteness, your blackness, or some other aspect of race and racism. Blacksplaining is often done in the same breath as accusing another person of whitesplaining. See "whitesplaining" for more information. Blacksplaining is a backhanded form of racism, a red herring which decides the white person is innately racist instead of the black person who just hates the white person for talking at all.

White person: "I went to China last week to practice my Chinese. I didn't realize that they had views on black people that are worse than most places in the west. I heard some Chinese people calling black Chinese residents actual racial slurs in front of them."

Black person: "Stop whitesplaining."
White person: "I'm sorry... I was sharing something I learned which I didn't previously know. I know that not a lot of people are aware of the various types of racism worldwide, and I definitely wasn't. So I was just sharing what I saw firsthand. I didn't realize sharing knowledge was whitesplaining."

Black person: "Why don't you just stop being a racist, how about that?"
White person: "It actually sounds more like you're trying to blacksplain me."

Bansplaining

A Digitallighting tactic where the perpetrator “explains” to a target why they deserve to be banned, often before the ban has even been issued, and frames the explanation as helpful feedback. Bansplaining is used to pre‑justify a ban, to make the target feel that their own behavior is clearly toxic, and to deter others from supporting them. It often appears in servers where a clique controls moderation: the target is told in detail how they “failed” to meet community standards, while the provocations that led to their reaction are ignored.

Example: “After she defended herself against his bait, a mod DMed her a 10‑point list of why her ‘tone’ was unacceptable—bansplaining, justifying exclusion by reframing her response as the offense.”
