It seems important to me to distinguish between “designed to subtly oppress other people” and “will necessarily have the result of subtly oppressing other people.”
It is not the former (and the implication that it is sounds to me like the motte version of a claim whose bailey is “Duncan is lying/manipulative,” or like an assertion that you know better than I do what is going on inside my own head).
I am genuinely interested if you can shine light on the latter in a concrete, specific, and here-are-the-lines-of-cause-and-effect sort of way, since subtly oppressing other people is counter to my goals.
(I note for onlookers that I found this tool, as opposed to designing it myself, although my descriptions of it, and the way I made meaning out of my observations, are entirely self-generated and no one else’s fault.)
You’d have to be an evil nincompoop to design and then publish, instructions for subtle manipulation on purpose. So no, I can’t give you the credit of being that evil to purposely do that.
I wonder what culture it takes to make you as you are. In the way that you don’t see what I see.

I will compile a list.
