Comment on We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.

  I’m not constantly asking for evidence you dunce. I’m arguing the original point. Fuck Trump, he’s a cunt for 1000 reasons and I BELIEVE in my heart of hearts he molested girls.

  We stand on a system that requires evidence for those claims for a reason, and I believe in those protections when you or I end up under fire.

    Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity (“I’m just trying to have a debate”),

    So after reading this linked wiki article I find a couple interesting points of the above description.

    1 relentless requests

    2 pretense of civility and sincerity

    So I’ll ask you a couple questions, if you don’t mind answering (and much thanks to you if you do answer them)

    As I don’t observe either of the points in your comment in this thread, if I were to go look at your comment history, and I wont because I don’t care to spend any effort to do so, will I find a history of you asking for evidence on this specific topic, as if you were looking for opportunities to do so, Cherry picking as one might call it?

    I’m asking because I’m being the answer is no

    It’s frustrating when people try to eject to from a discussion because they ascribe motives you don’t possess, at least in my experience if it does

      Behaviour of sealion is only right course of action if someone just accused it of something that would destroy its life and reputation.
