I’m not a consequentialist! I can complain about some thing X without necessarily thinking it causes anything bad, and especially without thinking that X is a problem because it causes something bad.
It’s not against consequentialism to see some things as bad in themselves, not because they cause something else to be bad. It’s easy to see: for it to be possible for something else to be bad, that something else needs to be bad in itself.
