TIL about sealioning. This happened to me the other day in-game. Though it only got 1 rotation before I blocked them. Not about to waste my leisure time on this.
Me too, although I knew it well, just not that it has a name. Good to know.
But in my experience it often happens that people that actually don’t know much about a subject and they might be sincere in their questions, but at the point where their preconceived notion would be challenged, they go into this sealioning thing
For those types it feels like a broken record. Some part of them wants to understand and be challenged but their pride/programming overrides it and they get stuck in a loop for stupidity.
Some are just assholes. I blocked the person earlier after they they asked for an explanation about why Trump’s policies on immigration are any worse than Obama’s saying they were genuinely curious, after I responded with as objective of an explanation I got hit with the “oh honey that’s wrong” lol.
