I cannot understand a single word
this person explained it https://lemmy.cafe/post/5932507/6475215 :)
I'm just here for the free popcorn.
A-freaking-men! oh my god this bothers me so much. How dare the people on the explicitly autistic section of Lemmy not immediately understand textual social cues and telepathically understand all of the current Leftist Rhetoric™?
I swear, 90% of the people in 196 think they're the only person here who isn't autistic, genderqueer, or both. It's a gay bar where half the people in it are straight. Autistic people love written rules, so what if we put one rule in the sidebar that we don't actually expect a single person to follow and then just assumed everybody knew the rest?
Everybody loves hanging out with the weirdos until they actually start acting weird.

Oh my god I feel so seen
This is why I put a lot of effort into seeming like a normal person when I'm not at home, it actively stresses me out, but I don't want to be treated as different.
At least I can be a weird cat on Lemmy and nobody gives me shit. It's quite refreshing.

So perfectly worded and I feel this so hard. I was nervous to post this as I was sure I was just gonna get hate for it but glad others are finding catharsis in the sentiment getting out there :)
and if you happen to be one of the true sealions/jaq ppl who made everything online such a miserable mess you can kick rocks 💞💞💞
What the hell does sealion/jaq mean?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning
jaq means "just asking questions", people always playing devil's advocate
This is something I see all the time one Lemmy, especially around Joe Biden and the election.
I think I may been in a similar situation here? A while back someone posted a screenshot of a twitter post that highlighted how trans people make up a tiny proportion of the population, yet political parties make a disproportionate deal out of them. And I totally agree with the sentiment, but I was interested in how the statistics were worked out. But apparently me asking about that showed that I was trying to distract from the point?
I just wanted to know more really 🤷♂️
Truly!
FWIW here is a study, including its methodology in detail.
Honestly a lot of people on lemmy legitimately do not know what sea lioning is and use it to mean “you said something that annoyed me.”
i certainly didn’t the first time i got hit with it! and i felt so bad that they felt i was trying to mess with them :( and then they read each apology as further disingenuous snark and it’s all too late to recover
To me, Sea Lions are cute and have a tendency in San Francisco to block rich people from their fancy boats by coming en mass to warm themselves on the gangways.
So even though I can't pet them (it's illegal and they will fuck a man up) i have nothing but love for sea lions.
fuck yeah bestie 🥰💖
will you post the "sealioning" copy? (all I can think of is operation sealion)
As a side note it always bugs me that the original text of the meme is kind of just weirdly defending racism?
Like clearly in this universe sea lions and maybe even all sea animals are sentient and can speak. The “victim” does a hate crime by saying they could do without that entire race. So yes, sealion bro should not be intruding into this couple’s personal life, but besides that I respect him for trying to do something to change this clearly bigoted man’s behavior and perspective, and it’s noble sealion lad didn’t just punch (slap?) the probably nazi mf in the face the moment he heard his entire community get dissed and told it would be better not existing.
And then in the last panel the man uses the sea lion trying to defend his ethnic community to justify further bigotry!
Anyway. I realize I have invested myself in the race relations of a fictional world. Just be kind on the internet yall.
Thank you! <3 I think I sorta get it now!
