Appealing to due process isn’t sealioning. Imagine if a stranger approached you on the street and made sweeping accusations about someone in your neighborhood, presenting ‘evidence’ that’s open to interpretation. Wouldn’t it be normal for those involved to question the validity of those claims? It feels like an attack rooted in bias even if that’s not the intent. If we applied the logic behind ‘sealioning’ accusations to every situation, we wouldn’t have courts or fact-checkers. Imagine if Elon Musk simply responded to criticism in his Community Notes program by dismissing everyone with, “Oh, you silly sealioners, you don’t know the full story”.
