I've looked and I can't find any evidence to support this, can you?
Are we doing this again?
No. No, we are not.
Why not? It's not unreasonable to ask for evidence or am I supposed to just take your word for it?
Because this is common knowledge and you can google the information for yourself. You’re attempting to interject doubt into the conversation using a dog whistle.
They call it "Concern Trolling"
That’s not a dog whistle, a dog whistle is a phrase or word that has a special meaning to group its intended to been received by. I.e. something that will only be noticed and picked up by them.
You can take a character study on the average republican as evidence
I don't know if OP is a republican but I find their response strange, almost like they got caught chatting shit.
As far as I can tell comicsands.com is associated with George Takei which seems to refute their assertion that it's some far right publication.
I wouldn't assume they're a republican, just that they assumed you were sealioning when you weren't.
Bullshit, that's a well-known fact at this point. You're sealioning.
What is sealioning?

Your assertion is that www.comicsands.com has "RepubliQan owners"?
I've looked and I can't find any evidence to support that and the fact that George Takei is involved in it suggests you're wrong.
Also, I don't see how asking for evidence to back up an unsupported assertion is "sealioning". Are you sure that's the term you wanted to use?

"Jay is the founder and CEO of a digital publishing and social media company that rather unexpectedly grew the internet empire of actor and activist George Takei to tens of millions of followers. Jay serves on the board of directors of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest civil rights organization serving the LGBTQ+ community, which Ma once described as the “trendy” people."
No, that's just your bullshit strawman argument.
The claim was that "the media" (as in, most of it in general) has Republican owners, not comicsands.com specifically.
You're wrong, go back and read this thread again.
I see, I think.
Floof mentioned the media.
So the republican comment could’ve been media. Wasn’t 110% clear but that’s prolly how I might read it.
