That just doesn’t work, because the sea lion’s behavior in the comic is entirely reasonable, and it is the other characters who are being unreasonable. If the point of the comic is that the sea lion’s behavior is bad, they should have actually made the sea lion do something bad instead of call out someone being racist against him
not a racist conversation, because sea lions are not sentient beings despite what is about to happen
sea lions literally are sentient beings in the context of the comic. the only justification the comic gives for why sea lions are bad requires them being sentient beings so that they can speak up against random racist tirades about them.
are you literate
It’s just obviously not about all the stuff that you seem to think it’s about.
But it literally is? You’re the one coming up with weird interpretations about “what if it was actually about xyz”
What is actually happening in the comic is that a character is being racist and the victim of that racism is portrayed as being wrong and annoying for calling out the racism. That’s literally what’s happening in the comic. It doesn’t require any kind of gymnastics or interpretation, that’s the surface level reading of what is occurring in the comic.
Racism justifies harassment and home invasion?
Yeah. Not gonna cry over what the victims of racism do to racists.
and more about the harassment veiled in false civility as a means of silencing discussion.
How is the sea lion silencing discussion? They weren’t discussing anything, they were having a racist circlejerk. The racist lady said a racist thing and the sea lion invited discussion by asking, “Why did you say that racist thing?” and then they refused to actually explain why they’re racist against sea lions, treating it as self-evident that being racist against sea lions is correct and thus that it is unreasonable to question it.
Pretend he’s not a sea lion, but a conservative
He can’t choose not to be a sea lion. This is kind of incoherent. “Pretend he’s not black, but a conservative.” This sea lion could also be conservative, that doesn’t really have anything to do with the fact that he’s being criticized for immutable properties he was born with, not for anything of substance.
I gotta be honest, the sea lion is not the bad guy in this comic. Lady randomly says some racist shit, and a member of the group she’s being racist against calls her out for being racist. And then the fact that the sea lion called the racist out is apparently justification for the initial racist statement.
Sounds like a great time to propose my system of temperature: Super Celsius. I’ll connect it to the freezing and boiling points of water just like Celsius, but while freezing remains at 0, boiling is now 1000. Get ready for a nice mild day of 250.
Sounds like the free market has spoken. Please die quickly, ““AI”” industry
Best I can offer is $10 for one of ya finger bones. I’m a nice guy though so you can pick which one. Deal?
I’m pretty sure Santa is kinda like a cat. All the fat just kinda squishes, if he can fit his head in the rest can make it too.
I literally just use normal Firefox with normal ublock origin on my phone
Fuck that, give her a medal and a therapist and send her on her way. Killing this guy was not a crime it was community service.
it’s ren
Why should they get a rental property? Why should basic fundamental human necessities of which we have plenty be treated as commodities? You get the house you live in, and I get the house I live in, and if you want to try to extort me for payment for that house no one should support you.
Because hexbear is full of socialists and most instances are full of rabid pro-genocide liberals.
You only got replies from hexbear haters so let me balance it out a bit. Hexbear is by far the most LGBT+ friendly instance in the fediverse and has a supermajority of queer users. They’re aggressively anti-bigotry in all its forms and are extremely happy to educate and engage in discussions as long as you approach them in good faith.
Most people who go out of their way to shit talk them in the wild are just mad hexbear banned them for saying some racist or homophobic shit
Hexbear is older than most of the fediverse, and didn’t have federation enabled for years. It’s a very self-sufficient community.

They don’t get to choose their uniforms, and I’m sure many of them would choose shorts like the men get if they did.
I literally already explained that in the comment you’re replying to. The sea lion should have done something bad to deserve being criticized.
