i know who he is. the context of the topic and the fact that he isnt braindead indicate that he is sealioning on purpose in order to be tongue in cheek

Sealioning would take too much context and effort to determine. While people actually in the topic would easily see what is going on, those who are just looking at parts of it, might not.

yo so why does sealioning fool the mods but not fool anyone else?

It's not necessarily a matter of mods being blind to the tactic.
It's just not innately a bannable offense when worded carefully.

That's really the point of it, by being an attempt to mess with other posters while tiptoeing around getting busted for it. The more competent mods are well aware of the tactic, but there's little they can do about it before it breaks the ToS...

Don't get me wrong though. I'm certainly not going to tell you every mod has infallible judgment on what's a violation or hasn't let their personal bias get in the way of objectivity. Someone exercising their authority in such a rash and unreasonable way would likely also fall for something as childish as sealioning.

Because it literally is. Nevertheless, it describes a real troll tactic which had been identified before the term was created.
See also: Gish gallop and concern trolling.

Gaslighting was used in psychology before politics, but gaslighting has been used to describe politics since the 90's. It was used to describe the Clinton administration's rebuke of criticism, but it's easy to see why it is ubiquitous in modern politics. It was quickly turned around to describe criticism of Clinton, G.W. Bush, and more. Modern media makes it ever present, but you can easily find specific examples on this board.

I thought it was a newish thing in politics, but I don't really follow them. I just typically see it used in ridiculous extreme posts.
