weebsplain 

when a weeaboo loudly corrects and explains things about Japan, often inaccurately, to a real Japanese person. (like mansplaining, but instead of a man to a woman, it's a weeb to a Japanese person)

“Samurai did take their katana out for other reasons than bloodying it, Derek. Japan is humid. Blades need sharpening. So shut the fuck up and stop weebsplaining.”

Westsplaining

A form of condescending explanation where someone from a Western context explains to non-Westerners the "truth" about their own situation, often while dismissing their perspectives as culturally biased or insufficiently objective. The term combines "Western" with "mansplaining" to capture the dynamic of assumed epistemic authority based on Western location. Westsplaining typically involves universalizing Western experience, treating Western frameworks as neutral, and dismissing non-Western perspectives as particular or biased. It's a form of intellectual colonialism dressed as explanation.

"I tried to explain my country's political dynamics. Response from a Western academic: 'Let me clarify how democracy actually works.' That's Westsplaining—assuming that Western frameworks are universal, that your local knowledge is just perspective, and that their outsider view is objective truth. Westsplaining is what happens when privilege becomes pedagogy and explanation becomes erasure."

Westsplaining

When someone from the political West learns about a country’s politics from a couple of TikToks and then explains it like they’re the expert to people who actually live under that regime.

Usually involves disregarding firsthand experience while trusting a viral video, headline, infographic, or thread instead.

“An Iranian woman told Jim what life under the ajatollah regime is actually like and he immediately started westsplaining, sending her a TikTok and saying ‘This TikTok explains it perfectly.’
