I did link the original piece coining the term and quote the specific definition given. I think that's a sufficient standard to meet when introducing an unfamiliar term.

Not good -- having to read some additional link to a top post of a reddit thread that mentions the term over 10 times but never explicitly defines it is really tough for a reader c'mon. I saw that the link went to some reddit post without a specific comment or anything and wasn't going to click it.

So on that post after reading paragraph after paragraph I kind of get it but man it's really not explicit and just talked about even there like it's a thing. It isn't. Using the term is as wacky as the actual topic being discussed about 'normal people think Defund means Defund'.

Let's create a definition then of something like:

sanewashing • deliberately glossing over or attempting to conceal unpleasant or insane facts or actions about something or someone.
