bensplaining

Interrupting someone to explain why they are wrong or to negate or discredit the point that they are making. Ignoring all rules of what is socially acceptable because you believe that your reality is the only reality and that everyone else just doesn't get it.

batsplaining

Bat goes on a rant about a topic unrelated to the current conversation. For example, if you are talking about a santa costume you want her to wear, she might go on a whole rant about how the color red promotes fertility.

Morty: "Hi Bat, are you gonna wear that beard for the santa costume?"

Bat: "Beards have long been associated with wisdom and intelligence, and many great thinkers throughout history have sported impressive facial hair. But did you know that beards may also be related to the space-time continuum? According to recent studies, the gravitational pull of a beard can actually warp the fabric of space and time, creating distortions in the nearby area. But enough about the scientific properties of beards - let's talk about how to cook soup. Soup is a versatile and satisfying meal that can be made with a wide variety of ingredients. To make soup, you will need a large pot and some basic cooking tools, such as a knife, cutting board, and stirring spoon. "

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.”
