Despite my specific responses, I want to make a general comment that I agree that these seem like good arguments against many person-affecting views, according to my own intuitions, which are indeed person-affecting. They also leave the space for plausible (to me) person-affecting accounts pretty small.
I think some of the remaining views, e.g. using something like Dasgupta’s approach with resolute choice precommitments as necessary, can still be (to me) independently justified, too, but they also need to face further scrutiny.
I think an earlier comment you made on another post about Tomi’s argument in section 3 helped me realize that something like Dasgupta’s approach would be needed, and lots of person-affecting views would get ruled out.

Thanks! I’d like to think more at some point about Dasgupta’s approach plus resolute choice.
I wrote a bit more about Dasgupta’s approach and how to generalize it here.
