The example in the post is not okay because it's piggybacking on an existing negative emotion, and if the woman refused, that emotion would've been reinforced. Like a guilt trip.
So do you not think it's possible to manipulate through positive emotion? What about flattering and pampering someone 'til they fall for you, then robbing them blind?
It's possible, but I don't have the same aversion to it.
Wait, what? Really? You don't find that example scenario objectionable?
Hmm. To me it's kinda "bad in theory", like killing kittens. The strong hate is reserved for the things I actually did a lot and then decided to cut out.
Heh. Okay, we think about those things very differently, but that's fine. :P
