Info dumping =/= “mansplaining”!

Info dumping is (sometimes compulsively) sharing information about a special interest subject, and if you’re like me then you have a lot of those.

Don’t feel bad for info dumping, you aren’t being misogynistic, you’re just being passionate about what you enjoy!

This is really really important. I see so much negativity when it comes to info-dumping and I figured searching it up on this wonderful website would at least have something good but all I saw was negative posts about men info-dumping. And it made me sad. So yes a hundred times to this.

mansplaining is incredibly rude, condescending and/or patronising, often about simple concepts that the listener (usually a woman) likely already knows. as you say, infodumping is about special interest topics and isnt intended to patronise the listener it’s just compulsively sharing info.

i hope the people who listen to your infodumping dont perceive it as mansplaining
