The sea-lion cartoon has stuck around for a reason.
It can appear this way, on the internet, but it could be that the individuals asking the question are entertaining it for the first time.
I know this is what happened to me, with unrelated topics. You can’t reason with the mob. They aren’t interested.
When someone reaches the conclusion that a socially unacceptable thought is correct, the vast majority will try to stop thinking about any at all.
Eg. suggesting oppressed group struggling with validating their own existence and massive suicide rates coming from that struggle to entertain a though that validy is not there may not be what an educated mind would do.
