This is definitely a position that is easier to hold in a position of privilege/popularity.

Shaming has rather drastic negative consequences, especially in communities that shame intelligence, education, gender, race, neurotype, etc.

I don't think anyone here implied shaming doesn't have [potentially negative] consequences.

It's a non-violent tool to shape societal or group norms. If you are in a shitty group (e.g. one that shames education), that doesn't change the argument.

Rule #1 with any weapon is to ask what it looks like when the tables are turned and someone uses it against you.

Every weapon is bad in the arms of the enemy. I won't be cutting any hands because they can form fists.
