This seems to be an incredible backdoor propaganda label to stifle logical discussion. It's an appeal to emotions over facts (my personal group's facts are better than your objective facts) and to equate obnoxious lunatics with mature critical thinkers.

Don't like the proofs provided? (cause they show you are wrong) Then you must be sealioning, even if it's the first thing you write.

Edit: A mature adult does not need a label to deal with annoying and obnoxious people on the internet. There are lots of ways to deal with them. (the least of which is to simply ignore them...)

Agreed. This feels a lot like the "snowflake" label. A way to terminate a discussion early because you'd rather insult the person than make any actual progress.
