I gotta be honest, the sea lion is not the bad guy in this comic. Guy randomly says some racist shit, and a member of the group he’s being racist against calls him out for being racist, so he then uses that as justification for the initial racist statement.

Racism justifies harassment and home invasion? I don’t think I can necessarily agree with that.
The point Malki was making, I think (and the way I take it) is less about the purpose or content of the discourse and more about the harassment veiled in false civility as a means of silencing discussion. Pretend he’s not a sea lion, but a conservative, and you’ll get the intended effect.

Yeah. Not gonna cry over what the victims of racism do to racists.
and more about the harassment veiled in false civility as a means of silencing discussion.
How is the sea lion silencing discussion? The racist lady said a racist thing and the sea lion invited discussion by asking, “Why did you say that racist thing?” and then they refused to actually explain why they’re racist against sea lions, treating it as self-evident that being racist against sea lions is correct and thus that it is unreasonable to question it.

He can’t choose not to be a sea lion

You realize internet sealions don’t actually invade homes?
You realise the harassment stops if you don’t respond?

Sea lion is slang for a type of behavior a person exhibits not an immutable characteristic of the person like the color of their skin. They didn’t have to prove the behavior because the behavior expressed IS the behavior.

It’s mocking the type of people that try to turn anything and everything into some sort of formal debate when it was just a casual conversation then act like they’ve won some sort of argument when you don’t engage.

Have you ever heard a sea lion? They’re super loud and they all get together and bark.
