I’m not really sure how you can claim “techniques are value-neutral” without assuming what values are. For example, if my values contain a term for someone else’s self-esteem, a technique that lowers their self-esteem is not value-neutral. If my values contain a term for “respecting someone else’s requests”, techniques for overcoming LMR are not value-neutral. Since I’ve only limited knowledge of the seduction techniques advanced by the community, I did not offer more—after seeing some of the techniques, I decided that they are decidedly not value neutral, and therefore chose to not engage in them.
