What does "sealion" mean?From Wikionary: "To intrude on a conversation with disingenuous questions in an attempt to engage in unwanted debate as a form of harassment."

Sealion - meaningSealioning is a term used to describe the actions of villains who demand "citations" for things that are prima facie true, in an attempt to harass and silence facts that give them cognitive dissonance. Person 1: An orange is an orange. Sealion - definitionTrolling, which trolls call "Trying to engage in a controversial yet civil debate and requesting evidence from someone who refuses to provide such evidence to back up their claims." In short, sealioning is a form of censorship, in which case the trolls aim to exhaust free speech -- and if people block the toxic trolls, said trolls will just open up new accounts in the hope of making people be silent. Troll A : Can you give me a link to a study or article that validates your claim ? Sealion - slangAkin to playing Devil's Advocate, but worse. Whereas, on occasion, someone playing Devil's Advocate can actually help someone sharpen arguments and make them better, Sealioning amounts to the meme of the little kid replying to every answer with, "Why?" The Sealion has NO interest in hearing any other side, OR of making substantial arguments of its own side. A Sealion will often make empirically ridiculous arguments in the hopes of getting blocked online, which they incorrectly define as "owning" the person who blocked them. In fact, on social media, if you check the Sealion's replies, they're often cut-and-paste replies, frequently 100% unrelated to the topic. The sole purpose is to suppress the free speech of actual people who might thwart the success of disinformation campaigns.

SealionFemale sea lions are know as cows James: did you see that cow and bull, over there By the rocks SealionA subtle form of trolling involving "bad-faith" questions. You disingenuously frame your conversation as a sincere request to be enlightened, placing the burden of educating you entirely on the other party. If your bait is successful, the other party may engage, painstakingly laying out their logic and evidence in the false hope of helping someone learn. In fact you are attempting to harass or waste the time of the other party, and have no intention of truly entertaining their point of view. Instead, you react to each piece of information by misinterpreting it or requesting further clarification, ad nauseum. The name "sea-lioning" comes from a Wondermark comic strip. I spent five minutes asking polite questions, sealioning him into hours of writing until he got exasperated and told me to fuck off. |
