Charles JohnsonIt’s probably a good idea to repost this incredibly prophetic cartoon from 2014 at regular intervals because every day I see people who still haven’t fully imbibed its message. Apologies if it’s old hat to you.
The Terrible Sea Lion.
A Tattered Scrapbook@Green_Footballs I enjoy flipping the meaning by replacing “marine mammals” with “people”, and “sea lions” with a minority group (Pick your own, by ethnicity, gender orientation, or other).
Then, it’s a neat little parable about trying to educate bigots. :)
Green Roc Disabled@Tattered @Green_Footballs I've often felt myself in the position of the sea lion, not trying to be mean or cruel but trying to better myself and wanting to understand what the problem is so I can better myself. I find in the comic, the couple is rude by not telling the sea lion what the problem is. I certainly would not follow someone into their home, but I've known myself to speak similarly without any ill intent. I don't understand implications. I also wish to not offend anyone. /genuine
