Gotta love how spending time with like-minded people has now been framed as an "echo chamber." I blame reddit, since that's where I first encountered this nonsense.
I'm fine with my "echo chambers." We are able to have really in-depth, adult discussions about things like LGBTQIA issues, mental health, and politics without having to constantly swat away a bunch of sea lions.
You do realize that associating with primarily people who share the same views or values as you is literally an echo chamber right?
Nope. That term is only used by sea lions and shitlords. It's one of those terms like "virtue signaling" that immediately lets you know the person has less to offer society than a common housefly or roach.
I argue with fascists, exclus, medicalists, and sexists all the time and I've never met a sealion. But I have met neurotypical people who expect their sense of cognitive empathy to work on neurodivergent people, and then project all sorts of BS onto them for having a different opinion. IME that term is a dogwhistle for ableism.
EDIT: Just looked up Beehaw's guidelines and apparently it's against the guidelines to accuse someone of sealioning so maybe Beehaw isn't so bad
You've never spent any time on reddit, I take it?
That's a whole colony of sea lions.
Lucky you, but I encounter sea lions all the time. People like Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro have formed entire careers around sea-lioning.
Well see, sealioning is feigning ignorance, and it's a simple fact that bigots really are that ignorant. I've never met anyone who understood progressive issues and still disagreed, except for amoral people who chose to have little investment and wouldn't bother to engage in sealioning. This idea you're proposing that there are people who pretend to be ignorant doesn't make any sense to me. If they are acting like foolish bigots, I choose to believe them.
