Panperspectivism

A comprehensive philosophical framework holding that everything is from a perspective—that there is no view from nowhere, no neutral standpoint, no perspective-free access to reality. Panperspectivism goes beyond perspectivism (which acknowledges that knowledge is perspectival) to insist that all experience, all knowledge, all reality-as-we-know-it is irreducibly perspectival. This doesn't mean reality is arbitrary or subjective; it means that reality appears through perspectives, that different perspectives reveal different aspects, and that no single perspective captures the whole. Panperspectivism demands that we cultivate the capacity to move between perspectives, to hold multiple views together, and to recognize that the richness of reality is expressed in the plurality of perspectives through which it is known.
Example: "Her panperspectivism meant she didn't seek a single true account. She sought to understand how different perspectives—scientific, artistic, spiritual, practical—each revealed aspects of reality, and how moving between them deepened understanding."

Backhand pandering

1. An attempt to appease to a group of people for financial gain while still simultaneously portraying that group of people in a negative, or unfavourable light. Usually playing on racist stereotypical tropes, or keeping up with racist/bigotted media trends aimed at creating or sustaining a negative or unfavourable image of the targeted group of people.

2. Attacking a group of people's image under the guise of progressiveness.
Example of backhand pandering is placing black women in lead roles for movies to pander to them for money, yet this lead black female character adheres to negative racist stereotypes that portray black women in an unfavourable light.
