Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

‘Sealioning’ is the word that sums up why Twitter discussion is so unbearable

finally, someone took the time to unpack the lie of sealioning

I'll be blunt: the fact that you and @intensely_human@lemm.ee

"coincidentally" hit the same month-old thread, one 3h after another
with "coincidentally" similar writing styles
"coincidentally" having the same view on the topic at hand

makes me a bit suspicious that you're the same person agreeing with themself.

If you are not the same person I apologise. But even then you can see how fishy it is.

tell me which of my comments are 200 words with correct capitalization.

you are paranoid

If I were to be paranoid I'd be claiming that you're coming "after me". I don't - my hypothesis is simply that it's a single muppet trying to reinforce the standing of their own opinion, based on the coincidences that I've listed.

And, again: if you are indeed two different individuals, I apologise. The differences in capitalisation and text length are a fair point.
