My personal favorite response to that question is “a person who covers their drink when you enter the room”

I’m stealing both of these.

Also trying to workshop::

Oh they don’t have them on your planet?

I like it, but that’s like a 1960s sitcom tier insult. It’s too cute to infuriate.

They have 1960s sitcom mentality. Wouldn’t hurt to give it a try.

how about, “a person who doesn’t want to have sex with you.”

That doesn’t work. I’m sure plenty of queer men would be too disgusted by them to want to have sex with them either.

Ooooh, that’s so subtle and brilliant, they’ll be destroyed for life! Added bonus is it zings for all the alphabet.

Seems like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning

They’re not honestly curiously asking anything.

They tried to do a gotcha. Badly. And got gotcha’ed for it.

One question can’t be “sealioning”. Sure they aren’t curiously looking for an answer, but that’s not what sealioning is. Click your own link.

I saw a further video of them doing this type of thing before.

No need to be a douchebag.

You said what they’re doing seems like sealioning. Not sure how any of us are supposed to infer that you’re not talking about the subject content you’re commenting on.

I affirmed the rest of your opinion other than the trendy label you then put on it. Not sure why that makes me a douchebag, but then with me not being American there might be subtleties to the term that I’m not aware of like “calmly suggests you might be misusing a term”.

I saw this clip. It was amazing the way that kid just dismisses Charlie Kirk with his response and how he just walked away.

Kirk’s face was in shock, cuz he got owned so bad. Mofo couldn’t think of anything smart to say except something from another right wing grifter. 🤦

The right wing really capitalized on the left’s good faith approach, for a very long time. Now that younger people that grew up on the internet are a much larger component of the left’s base, they don’t seem to know how to “own us” anymore. We’re used to this sea lioning bullshit, and won’t put up with it.

The craziest thing to me was watching that encounter and then seeing Kirk come away thinking he looked good

He did get owned - but just to put things in perspective, conservatives who saw the video think he owned the kid, saying the ‘kid didn’t know what to say and so just walked away’.

These guys are so deep into their fantasies that they don’t see things the way sensible people do. At all. It’s important to keep in mind when talking to them that they are living in a totally different world.

Nah. There are plenty of women who do not make my dick hard. To paraphrase Richard Pryor, I wouldn’t fuck Melania Trump with your dick.

I have no idea why anyone wanted to see her naked. Bleah.

She used to be much more attractive. Look up the picture of her and Donald with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and you can see it.
