Sealioning (also spelled sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment which consists of pursuing people with persistent requests for evidence or repeated questions, while maintaining a pretense of civility.[1][2] The troll pretends ignorance and feigns politeness, so that if the target is provoked into making an angry response, the troll can then act as the aggrieved party.[3][4] The term arises from a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark,[5] where a character expresses a dislike of sea lions and a sea lion intrudes to repeatedly ask the character to explain.[6]
The technique of sealioning has been compared to the Gish gallop.[7]
