People initially downvoted the post because "Eugenics-Adjacent" is Émile Torres' account, and they typically don't engage in an intellectually honest way. Sure enough, Émile tweeted a screenshot of this post and highlighted that the byline was scandalously named "Eugenics-Adjacent" even though Émile is the one who gave it that name: https://twitter.com/xriskology/status/1682449905363701774
There's nothing wrong with the content of the original post, except that Émile refers to "us," as if Eugenics-Adjacentis an EA who is concerned about negative public perception of EA rather than someone who is in fact banking their career on a negative public perception of EA.
