The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon is when you never noticed something or saw something before, and then you see it everywhere.

For example say you see a chipmunk in an area you never noticed them before, and now you just see chipmunks everywhere.

      To be fair, I think “nuance” is genuinely being used a lot more lately because there’s so much backlash against the black-and-white discourse that dominated the internet last decade.

        As long as it’s properly used, but for me, that’s a discussion for a later date
