I never really understood this. What's the difference between sealioning and calling someone out for saying stupid shit? I feel like "sealioning" only exists as a term people can use to reframe a situation from "I talked shit and can't/won't back it up yet won't admit it" to "you're aggressing against me by expecting me to stand behind or explain my words". Am I just a big dunderhead?

Edit: oh ok, I RTFA lol, makes a lot more sense. I guess the original comic is just not a great example of it in my opinion, but that makes sense since it's just a silly comic
