I think in no other context on Hacker News, which is a hive of far-reaching intellectual curiosity, would it be taken as a negative to claim that confronting someone with a possibly uncomfortable point would be taken as moral corruption.
(Note that 'forcing' here is not in the sense of, say, using physical force to compel someone; it is just in the sense of presenting information, so that people's only possible responses are to consider that information or somehow to ignore or discount it without acknowledging it.)
