I’ve read the online definitions but it doesn’t make sense with the way people use it. What do people mean when they talk about nuance?

Nuance is about small details and context that help to understand something fully. Often, looking at something with nuance will make it more complicated, because you can’t just ignore the parts that go against the point you want to make.

Un nuanced: X is bad always, we should ban it!!

Nuanced: x is bad in most situations, but there are some good things that can come out of it, and just banning it outright would cause a whole host of other problems, so we need to do this carefully.

As you can see, nuanced takes on things tend to be longer and much more grey-area, but they are usually more reallistic.
