The difference is intention. The intention of the sea lion is not to convince you that your claim is wrong or immoral; it's to shut you up, by draining your desire to make the claim, since every time that you do it, a sea lion pops up to annoy the shit out of you.

Hexbear in a nutshell.

I don't know, really. But I feel that Hexbear is mostly misinterpreted - I don't think that they're trying to sealion, it's more like an out-of-place "debate me~" childish cringe. I might be wrong though, as I mentioned in the second paragraph nobody knows the others' intentions.

Hexbear has the same problem as Reddit: it's home to a handful of active, loud, incredibly toxic communities that like to go into other people's online spaces and be assholes.

Also: if you go there and do what they do elsewhere, you get banned.
