I literally already explained that in the comment you're replying to. The sea lion should have done something bad to deserve being criticized.

[-] BlackDragon@slrpnk.net -4 points 1 week ago

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

That was the argument the entire time, you smug imbecile

have you ever seen normies riding bikes that close?

Yes. In the Netherlands. It ends fine.

[-] BlackDragon@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

Stay away from the Netherlands you'd have a heart attack

Uh, they're not? The cars are in fact much closer to one another than they could possibly be while moving at speed. They would only get this close to one another during a traffic jam. On the other hand, the walkers are entirely capable of moving in exactly the way they are pictured.
