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.”
