From what I remember, the comic was made during the height of Gamer Gate and made popular to call out Gamers who would basically demand citations for the bad or lacking representation or depictions of minorities in gaming or other issues
I just wish it was more clearly about that specifically. As it stands, it can be read as, "My dislike of [group] is justified by how [group] reacts when I express my dislike of them" which can be really problematic when talking about things like race, gender, etc. And the metaphor is made worse by the fact that "being a sea lion" is an innate trait, not a choice.
