Sealion

A word used for calling people out online who repeatedly target others with exhausting questions.

Or

A shady, made-up word that can be traced back to one text from the most exclusive university Harvard, within a country that has the death penalty, in order to divide activist circles across the English speaking world with its double meaning.

‘Sealion’ so happens to be an excellent excuse and reason for humiliating someone online. Performative activists need to create new words and labels for people, where if you only replaced these words with good old curse words, you’d be witnessing clear online harassment.
Person 1: …” What proof do you have that I’m speaking to you in bad faith”?

Person 2: “’We’ don’t have to prove anything, I’m ending the discussion, this is ‘sealioning’ YOU ‘sealion’”!

Person 1: “Why are you making the point of calling me a ‘sealion’ when you can just block me…”?

Can be used to conceal your dishonesty by putting the blame on the one who tries to engage you in a debate.
Person A : Can you give me a link to a study or article that validates your claim ?
Person B : This sealioning is appalling, I can read your mind and I know for a fact that you are concealing your malicious intent behind false civility. You are a troll and as such not worthy of evidence. Redeem yourself by getting rid of your critical thinking and accepting the validity of my claims.
