You might be underrating the role of theatricality in the culture, the role silliness plays in the appeal for a lot of people, not to mention the high bar for communication and introspection. Heck, people of the culture are known to say things like “can I hug you?” which is more interpersonally scrupulous than the base rate “normal” person who, I’ve observed, seem use this “hugs for women; handshakes for men” heuristic that it’s super autistic to second guess.
I think if the community theater was putting on King Lear, and my boss got the part of the king, and I got the part of a servant, no one would think there’s a CoI or unscrupulosity, right? or if I got the part of Lear and my boss got the part of a servant, whatever.
(flagging that I’m hesitating to participate in subthread because topicalness, but didn’t think leading a pivot to DMs made sense since the cat was already out of the bag)
I’m admittedly not in the polyamory/SF/Rationalist part of the EA movement, and going based off second or third-hand stories and things posted on the EA forum.
