    There’s a joke that goes

    I am Firm; You are Obstinate; He is a Pig-headed Fool.

    By analogy,

    I’m challenging offensive assumptions; you’re asking stupid questions; he’s sealioning.

      Don’t pretend like it’s impossible to tell the actual difference between those things. It’s not all subjective. Words have meaning and people are capable of perceiving the motivations of others accurately.

        Can you provide a source for that?
        No, not this one.
