“Sugarcoat” is an internet slang term used to describe the act of softening or making something less negative or unpleasant than it actually is. It refers to the act of presenting a situation or information in a more positive or gentle manner, usually to make it more palatable or avoid hurting someone’s feelings.
Examples:
I didn’t want to hurt her feelings, so I decided to sugarcoat the truth about her terrible singing.
When he asked for my opinion on his new haircut, I had to sugarcoat it and say it looked “interesting” instead of admitting I disliked it.
