Now replace "sea lion" with "pedophile" or "murderer" and the comic remains the same still!

With "pedophile" or "murderer" the evidence for them having done harm is self evident. In the comic the reasoning for disliking sea lions is not self evident, and the comic could be easily interpreted as "I should be allowed to say I don't like any group I want and not have to defend myself."

Just wanna say thanks for holding the torch here. You pretty much echoed any response I would've made if I'd had the time, but probably better XD Sorry you got the brunt of the hate.

Meh, it's just karma that doesn't even stick your account. Doesn't bother me and provides an alternative point of view.

Personally I don't think the comic did a very good job of demonstrating what "sea lioning" is or why it's a problem. Going by what was presented in the comic this is an example of sea lioning: https://old.reddit.com/r/BoomersBeingFools/comments/1b2egrq/boomer_takes_a_stand_against_crt/
