As a side note it always bugs me that the original text of the meme is kind of just weirdly defending racism?
Like clearly in this universe sea lions and maybe even all sea animals are sentient and can speak. The “victim” does a hate crime by saying they could do without that entire race. So yes, sealion bro should not be intruding into this couple’s personal life, but besides that I respect him for trying to do something to change this clearly bigoted man’s behavior and perspective, and it’s noble sealion lad didn’t just punch (slap?) the probably nazi mf in the face the moment he heard his entire community get dissed and told it would be better not existing.
And then in the last panel the man uses the sea lion trying to defend his ethnic community to justify further bigotry!
Anyway. I realize I have invested myself in the race relations of a fictional world. Just be kind on the internet yall.
yeah it’s really weird. Like if someone said something racist/otherwise bigoted i’d try to argue with them too? And pointing out they have no valid sources for their bigotry is an effective tactic that might make them question their beliefs
