VRX3000 10/22/23 12:21:00 PM #155:	Okay. Googled some more. Winds up this was a comic from 2014. Not sure why suddenly in 2021 there are a bajillion articles dissecting this comic. I assume it had a sudden surge in popularity, that I somehow missed. Why the sudden popularity? Dont know. Probably not going to find out. I still dont know why specifically a sea lion was chosen for this metaphor. It seems like it was just a random selection and not based on any particular traits of a sea lion. Im going to assume I will also not get a real answer out of that. 2014 was the era of random humor on the internet so I guess that was just part of the randomness. I still dont think the comic is really effective though because the sealion is technically correct. And if you want to make fun of the sealion, you probably dont want that. I mean this is legitimately a critique people had about civil rights leaders. Cant they protest somewhere where I dont have to hear about it? Im tired of hearing about how people are discriminated against. Etc etc. like no. The point of messaging is to make sure people hear it over and over again. You dont want to hear people call you terrible, then dont do terrible things. so anyway. Yeah. I think Ive exhausted all my thoughts on the issue. was a fun discussion, even if it was really just me typing my entire train of thought as I discovered this. I know I talk a lot. Still. Thank you everyone. --- ~ my improv troupe ~ www.forgetfulsquirrels.com <cite>VRX3000 posted [p:976798139] in Reading R/... [t:80598897]...</cite> <quote>Okay. Googled some more.

The comic is a joke about terminally online people who are "just asking questions" trying to debate you in bad faith and just won't stop. okay, I tried really hard not to respond to this. But it physically hurt so I need to say this. I understand that is what the just asking questions people do. They bring up a stupid conspiracy point with no evidence just to ask questions. thats not what the sealion in this comic does. The person making the ridiculous claim without evidence is the human. They split the metaphor between two characters and muddied it. Okay. How to fix this? Hold up. panel 1: so lets start with the people having a normal conversation that in no way involves sealions. Like I dont know, the sky is blue. panel 2: sealion pops up with random bs claim about whatever. Its clearly ridiculous and false. Like the sky is actually plaid and what if the only reason you think its blue is because the aliens dont want you to see plaid because our plaid is not real plaid. What? Im just asking questions. Proceed with the rest of the comic as normal. now the human is not at fault for any of this. Now the sea lion is not in any way shape or form in the right. Now the point is more clear and defined, and can not be easily mistaken as a counter arguement against calling out racism. seriously, I have a masters in marketing and I teach a class on propaganda. This is legitimately one of the few areas where I feel Im pretty well versed in and can successfully analyze. This comic, as is, argues for the opposite point its trying to make. okay. I think theres nothing else I can say on this issue. Im going to have lunch now and try not to think about this comic. Love you all.
