Sealioning

Sealioning is a term used to identify trolls who request citations when citations weren't necessary. It is akin to the meme of a child asking "Why?" after everything you say -- not even because they want to know, but as a bad faith way of faking interest while actually just trying to exhaust another person.

For example, "Sealioning" itself has been Sealioned with bad faith "definitions" attempting to change the meaning of the word to benefit online trolls.

Person 1: The sun rises in the east.
Person 2: Can you provide a link to your claims?
Person 1: Don't be sealioning me, you can look it up yourself!

Sealioning

Akin 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.

"Did that fan of Killer Kyle Rittenhouse actually repeat that old 'I bet you didn't even watch the trial' propaganda?"
"Of course. So I had to remind him that yes, in fact, I did watch the trial, and Killer Kyle never denied murdering those people. He admitted that the person who assaulted those peaceful protesters was him. He admitted that they used their Stand Your Ground rights to defend themselves against his threats. He admitted that he shot at them --"
"Why do you even bother? They're clearly just Sealioning you."
"Of course -- which is a form of bullying, and letting bullies get away with bullying leaves people with the impression that the bullies were actually right, and we can't let that happen.
