decelerationist 

A decelerationist (decel for short) is someone who believes in the curtailment, censorship or condemnation of advances in technology or philosophy in the interest of emotional comfort. Frequently, decelerationists’ solutions involve self-regulation, self-censorship or regulation at a national government level. Not to be confused with a Luddite.

A popular decel opinion in 2023 is that AI chatbots and image generators need to be programmed to prevent offensive materials from being created, because the dissemination of those materials would hurt people’s feelings.
If person A thinks players in a multiplayer video game should be prevented by the game’s code from ganging up on Player X because Player X would feel upset about it, then person B could correctly say that A is a decelerationist.
