      It’s really not. Sealioning involves inserting oneself uninvited into a discussion, e.g. an anti-feminist showing up in a feminist forum to demand that participants defend feminism from junk challenges.

      It’s convenient how some people have invented a word that allows them to avoid having to back up any claims they make…

      “The Earth is flat.”
      “What evidence do you have for that?”
      “Sealioning!”
