Condemnsplaining

When a person who has a correlation with an individual or group (no matter how loosely) that did something problematic or evil, is repeatedly asked by someone to “condemn” the problematic group with the purpose of placating the askers feelings rather than having a constructive dialogue about the subject matter.

Person B: “The situation in Gaza is terrible. I hope aid gets there soon to help the civilians.”

Person A: “But do you condemn Hamas?”

Person B: “I condemn anyone who kills innocent civilians.”

Person A: “But do you condemn Hamas? Why won’t you condemn Hamas? Do you support terrorism?”

Person B: “I just answered your question. Stop condemnsplaining.”
