What happened in the vegan community?

I hadn’t heard about any of this until seeing that ToS post.

    I couldn’t appreciate the visual sea lion anymore.What is gish galloping, which I would also appreciate a visual reference for if available.

      Gish galloping is talking over the person you’re arguing with to tire them out and / or interrupt them

      Commenting with long text walls asking someone to refute this or that or respond to a series of questions is usually the online equivalent of that

      You​ ​​ever ​​​see​ ​​those​ ​​comment​ ​​chains ​​​with vеgаns constantly responding to someone until the person they’re responding to gives up, that can be considered Gish-galloping

      Obviously with online comments you can’t talk while another person is talking
