If you were the woman (or the man) in the comic, how would you deal with the sealion?
A) Explain why you don't like sealions.
B) Retract and apologize for lying, or say it was a joke or mistake or whatever.
C) Cry about someone demanding proof, sources or arguments as to why sealions are evil.

Because the people who think "sealioning" is a thing, think C) is valid way of proving your point.

i might say something, someone asks for proof, and i dont feel like going into it

because otherwise its probably an hour of time i had planned doin something else

could say 'well you shouldnt have brought up the possibility' but eh

I mean, I understand being kristiwinterized.

Meaning, someone asks proof of something self-evident, just to wear you down.

Like MSM has left-wing bias. Obvious, but difficult to prove since bias is not quantifiable in numbers, mathematics and scientific proof.

had that before

i said to a guy 'MSM, social media, and education are lefty as fuck'

"YouTube has a right-wing bias." -David Packman

and i linked him a twitter post of someone saying twitter was operated by nazis, because they were frustrated and quit the platform

and he was confused on why i was mocking it

and the only places that would have proof or evidence of left wing bias are sites with right wing bias

which are instantly discredited

its like quoting the bible as the authority, to an atheist

and it goes both ways, so who the fuck does anyone believe

unless you do your own research with history and law and the more objective things

but then other people have to consider you a valid authority

i use history and psychology where i can to base my beliefs

"I'm right, you're wrong, and I don't want my entire worldview to come into question." -someone, somewhere on the Internet.

pretty much

you have to make SOME level of impact

but not so much that they snap and reject

not so little that they barely even know you said anything

probably why its harder to argue with men

and probably why theres fewer women in debate positions

I remember in my senior year of high school, I took AP World History, and one of our topics was how Muslim women were not oppressed. I didn't bother to say anything, but some other girl in my class did. It was basically her vs. the teacher. You could not even question the idea that no Muslim woman is oppressed.

In hindsight, I should have said something, but the teacher also had access to my grades.

David Packman is fucking stupid

Cooperate to Graduate

This is why I'm curious of when it's a good idea to step in and voice your opinion, even if someone with more authority than you.

'muslim women arent oppressed'

>google muslim women

Fuck cooperation that teacher is a dumb bitching lying to the youth

I understand not speaking up but Godspeed to the femoid

To be fair, I could see sealioning as a legit concept. If you're a dick for so long and then pretend to be nice just to troll people, I wouldn't expect them to take you seriously and so you'd have to work extra hard to convince them you're acting in good faith.

The problem lies in painting someone as a sealion when they HAVEN'T been a dick to you.

After the class watched some video about how the hijab is a choice, we all had to write if our opinion on the topic changed.

In this particular case she’s supposed to educate kids but she lied to them

That’s a big no no and it breaks the social contract between teacher and student
