Sea-lioning comes from a comic about someone being a huge fucking racist about sea-lions, a sea-lion calmly wants to talk it out, and the person starts violently backpedalling.
People on Twitter/Tumblr started latching onto it because of relating to wanting to say really shitty things and not having to explain it.

The technical definition is "pestering a target with unsolicited questions while presenting a false air of civility in order to wear them down", but I see it as "I don't want to explain my fucking argument".
