Comment on Does people doing things that upset others also upset you?

Generally yes, For me it depends on how significant the discomfort is and how broadly it impacts people, but also, how much doing the thing really matters a lot to someone.
Like, there’s a point at which “ok someone else’s discomfort about this thing is marginal compared to how much it matters to a large number of people” at which point I get annoyed at someone trying to force other people to stop doing something that matters to them, even if I’m not doing the thing.

This makes sense!
That’s why I said that, in the hypothetical, you already agree with the ban! Otherwise, you’d be upset that someone was infringing on someone else’s autonomy for no good reason - in other words, you’d be upset that someone is being upset. Which, yeah I mean it’s really the same thing, in reverse, I guess.
