I weakly disagree. When a belief is ubiquitous enough, as longtermism arguably is in the EA movement, it can be quite helpful to have a term that describes its negation: cf ‘atheist’, ‘moral antirealist’ (or ‘amoralist’), ‘anarchist’ etc. I don’t think such words have the effect of under-emphasising those views—if anything, I’d say they give them more weight.
