hetsplaining is basically mansplaining but hetsplaining instead. its a heterosexual explanation for an otherwise not heterosexual thing. a great example of hetsplaining is in folklore: the long pond studio sessions, when taylor swift is explaining the meaning behind the song "betty".

she explains that the song is from a male pov, when actually its just fucking gay. in giving a heterosexual explanation for a gay thing, she has hetsplained the song.
"man, i wish taylor swift would stop hetsplaining all her gay ass songs and just admit that she wrote a song about a woman..."
"taylor swift hetsplaining betty was harmful to her queer fans because they got doxxed by her straight fans. dude she should just be honest when she writes a gay song, like its better than jumping through ALL these hoops JUST to make it straight"
"dude the male pov shit is still gay as FUCK through"

"the problem is that the majority of her fans eat her hetsplanations up like its nothing...she really can say ANYTHING and her fans will believe her..."
