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.
Jyoti MishraFucking hell, posting this on Mast, official corporate sponsor* of I Don't Get It and Have Some Unwanted Pedantry is enormously brave of you.
*I patiently await the Well Actuallys on this. It's irresistible bait for them.
PaulDavisTheFirst@Jyoti @Green_Footballs it's a clever social trap. anyone who gets the sealion meme seems to do so because it captures something they experience in real life and is obviously true. Anybody who objects to any aspect of the description it for any reason is guaranteed to be sealioning.
It's like a Cretan Liars Paradox: anyboy who questions this representation of a type of behavior is by definition engaging in this type of behavior. Claims that X is not sealioning are by definition sealioning.
