Consplaining

A form of Digitalsplaining where the perpetrator explains to the target that they are a “con artist,” “charlatan,” or “grifter” who is “only in it for the money.” The consplainer often focuses on financial aspects—book sales, speaking fees, donations—to imply that any compensation invalidates the target’s work. The tactic frames the target’s motives as inherently corrupt, bypassing the need to address their actual arguments. Consplaining is common in attacks on activists, alternative practitioners, and anyone whose work challenges established industries.

Example: “He ignored her decade of free community work and instead posted a screenshot of her Patreon, explaining that she was a ‘grifter exploiting vulnerable people.’ Consplaining: reducing a life’s work to a bank account.”
