If someone takes "you're doing thing X, it hurts people in this way, can you maybe consider not doing that" as an attack in every case (as in, without specific evidence of disingenuity or flaws in the statement's logic) then I feel safe assuming they're trash.

It's hard not to see such people as caring more about scoring points in their interactions than not harming people, and I don't really want to spend too much time interacting with people who are constantly imposing an adversarial frame.

I'm hopefully being precise enough here to allow for the possibility that you are not such a person, and that this is not what you meant.

it is not, illustrating consequences isn't at all what i mean by moralizing (possibly invalidly), what annoys me is more leaning on social convention and its implied threats without any acknowledgement that somebody may be using different values, not doing your values poorly

this is a really good point: there's an undertone of "you should adopt my values" in cases i see and to that i just say fuck that

My problem is that I've definitely seen people react exactly this way to requests not to misgender people or to stop using racial slurs, including using exactly this argument to defend it.

personally that falls into the "negotiable" category for me, e.g. I usually don't blaspheme around ppl i know to be christians if it's a request to stop it in all contexts, however...

Case in point, I've now written you off as someone I want to continue interacting with.

Sure, okay by me. Feel free to block so that it doesn't happen in case I forget.

kinda seems like you applied the prescription for someone who claims the right to do X in all circumstances to someone who claims the right to do X in any circumstances tho

I prefer not to interact with people who see not misgendering people/not using racial slurs as being as unreasonable as Christian blasphemy taboos. Alternatively, if the crux is "what if a demon says you have to say the N word or they kill 100 babies?", nothing of value was lost.

tbh i read the blasphemy thing as an example of willingness to work with much less reasonable asks, but enh, it'll all be 0K in the end
