I don’t want to engage with most of the above, but one small note on my personal impression of the context culture of LW.
It seems to me that:
not demonstrating healthy agency
not delineating healthy from unhealthy agency
not couched in sensitivity
are each claims that themselves require some form of justification. i.e. sure, it makes sense that you would say “because of A, B, and C, I conclude this is bad,” and I expect that most LWers would agree about the logic of that if-then.
But I also expect that most LWers would not find your three premises obviously true, and would therefore receive them as un- or underjustified assertions, and (given the local norms) expect you to include, from the beginning, more details of your underlying world model (and certainly expect you to be willing to expound upon them if asked, as I and Benito and Pattern have all asked).
(I note that in your response to Pattern you use a larger number of synonyms to repeat “X is bad” but don’t actually explain why or how with e.g. claims about causality that can be investigated, or analogies to known phenomena whose aptness or inaptness can be discussed, or illustrative examples that others will find evocative, or anything like that.)
