While I don’t disagree, I do feel like people are over-quick to label any hard questions that don’t align with thier viewpoint as sealioning.
I’ve more than once asked questions about the practicality or edge cases of a particular stance and been called a sealion for it.
But the thing is, I want to know how that thing handles the practicality or edge case issues, and am trying to have someone who is deeper into the weeds on the issue than I am explain it to me, but just get called a sealion for it.
To be fair, this has only happened to me 2-3 times, but it’s super annoying, because I’m actually trying to understand, and might even be on your side if you’d address my concerns.
There are folk for whom reductio ad absurdum is a personal attack, and those for whom it’s a perfectly reasonable form of asking for refinement.
To pick an easy example – if we support neo-genders, we absolutely should treat someone who claims to “identify as an attack helicopter” as such and strive to use their claimed neo-pronouns. (Thankfully, one doesn’t need to support neo-genders to respect trans-gender and a-gender individuals or those unsure of their gender ).
That’s where I am at though. The behavior of Zionists has caused me to look at them less like people. They’re hateful genociding scumfuckers. They deserve any bad shit that happens to them at this point.
This is why “I’m not going to explain it to you” is the biggest and reddest of all the red flags.
Ignorance is the natural state of all humans, and the whole point of language is so that you can help reduce that natural ignorance!
The only almost exception is in response to sea-lioning, when the request for an explanation is made in bad faith
But that’s what LMGTFY links are for.

Agreed completely.

It’s inhumane to deny the humanity of inhumane humans.
English is a funny language.

No. Humanity includes us all.
the paradox of intolerance does not mean nazis get to be considered worth listening to. or considering. they give that up. BY THEIR OWN CHOICE.
I agree but none of that removes them from “humanity”
