I couldn’t let this pass without observing… @MrDibble says (unconnected) that no analogy is perfect, and in the _very next post_ @DemonTree describes her own psychological condition, which turns out to be a perfect analogy for the way a trans person might describe their feelings in a world that rejects the validity of their identity. ---

Because his actual life is a hollow shell, a void of nothingness, and when people here actually reply to his inane or idiotic comments, it gives him the feeling that he _actually exists,_ and that he is not a sad little nothing. “People are replying to me.

I don’t buy that this is a coincidence, by the way. No way does a poster mostly known for shitting on trans folks just happen to make that point without realizing the irony. ---

So you think it’s sarcastically shitting on trans people? You could be right. Well, if it whooshed me, it’s not something I’m too embarrassed about that sarcastic cruelty was not an interpretation that had occurred to me. ---

> [@Riemann](#): > > So you think it’s sarcastically shitting on trans people? This is a person who tried to claim equivalent minority status to PoC or LGBTQIA+ _ **based on being a transphobe** _ who disliked being pitted for it. Their denseness makes neutronium envious. Openly sarcastically shitting on trans people is on-brand for them. ---

I almost reported that post, as I saw it as a direct “tu quo quo” about trans rights, but figured the mods probably wouldn’t get the context and think it was meant innocently and in good faith. Instead, I just renewed my ignore of that poster. ---

I have to ask, what do you think sealioning means? I don’t see him sealioning. I see him actually arguing his side. A side I don’t agree with, but far from sealioning.
