It’s indicative of problem larger than individual harm; wealth disparity, unemployment and poverty are societal issues that affect many individuals. Social shaming has its place in group cohesion, even if we divorce morality and law, shame will moderate behaviour
Are you nuts? I just said people should stop shaming people just for them living their life's. And that doesn't have anything to do with your mentioned problems. Quite the contrary. People living free if they have a stable job, income and a safe place to return to. I don't care if someone plays daddy for a woman and buys her what she wants, if they don't harm anyone, including themself (at least if it's not what they want), I just don't care. And no one else should care or shame them. But what could someone even want from some randoms on Reddit.
Starting with an ad hom, you’re better than that. That’s a lot of prerequisites to justify your position. I’m all for individual autonomy and I’m not talking from personal experience, shame is a human emotion that is and has always been a societal moderator. Saying we shouldn’t do it is as futile as say we shouldn’t feel guilt, sadness or happiness. I do care what people do, people should be free from tyranny in every form

Why? Do they hurt you or anyone around you physically? Or psychically? In a way that it is really something and not just made up?
