I hadn't considered that, but it's an interesting point. That said, all the standard moralizing accompanying this is so gross.

What would you prefer, some amorphous undefinable moral relativism where everyone is somehow a good person, and we're all the same? Public shaming is a pretty decent prosocial incentive.

How about people not sticking their noses into other people's relationships?

We used to have the state jail, or even torture, adulterers. Society eventually agreed that it's not their job to do that. Let's hold off on forming lynch mobs.

It's worth pointing out that even traditional Western morality looks askance at "detraction" which is "the sin of revealing another person's faults to a third person without a valid reason."

I would prefer for people to mind their own business. I don't think that is so "amorphous", do you?
