I think it references the term “sealioning,” which means: someone on the internet who pops up, like a sealion, into an argument. He says, “BUT WHAT ABOUT XYZ?” which starts everyone responding and debating. But the sealion never continues the conversation. He was just there to disrupt.
I like how people are actively making up terms to silence those with legitimate questions. Hector is actively questioning and debating. But the kneejerk reaction is to call them sealion and remove their posts. Fucking brilliant.
That is a good picture, I like that, I do not see how it fits here. Still is great though.
