    There’s a joke that goes

    I am Firm; You are Obstinate; He is a Pig-headed Fool.

    By analogy,

    I’m challenging offensive assumptions; you’re asking stupid questions; he’s sealioning.

      Don’t pretend like it’s impossible to tell the actual difference between those things. It’s not all subjective. Words have meaning and people are capable of perceiving the motivations of others accurately.
