Well, I think it’s important because IMHO that negative emotional response is what underlies the (incorrect) description of the corresponding behavior as unethical. But I expect Esar would find that implausible.
‘Taboo with an eye to this question’, not ‘answer this question’. I’d already noticed the pattern that people consider finding something creepy to be sufficient reason to label it unethical, but that observation isn’t useful for very much beyond predicting other peoples’ labeling habits.
Oh, I see. Sorry, misunderstood. I could replace “creepy” everywhere it appears with “emotionally disquieting”, but I’m not sure what that would help. I figured using the same language Esar was using would be helpful, but I may well have been wrong.
You and Esar both: Taboo ‘creepy’? Particularly with an eye to ‘why is it important that this situation evokes this emotion’?
