Sealioning
I have an issue with this comic, and “sealioning” in general.
You did actually post something for the world to see. You are not having a private conversation, you are not in your house or having breakfast. Everyone can see it, you posted with enough visibility that people could comment – and they have, so don't get shitty about it. Mute them if you don’t like their stance and are actual arseholes. There’s a difference
Actually back up your statement. You know, something like “fact checking”, perhaps. Especially if it's not evident with a quick google search. Be able to produce a link or whatever to backup whatever you claim. Not that fucking difficult and avoids further “harassment” for info.
Anyone that has dealt with me for the most part will have found me reasonable to deal with, except for that one guy that blocked their own fediverse server admin for asking for clarification on a bullshit claim.
Just don’t hide behind a stupid term when you can’t produce evidence of something you claim. It just makes you an arse.
