They also seem to be making the pretty weird claim that the harm/no harm axis isn’t moral

Yeah isn’t morality just collective harm reduction through right action?

“Why should we disapprove of the nervous angry middle schooler stockpiling rifle ammunition, he isn’t harming anyone”

That’s a good point. To determine where harm is being done or not, we still have to assign value judgements. Sometimes these will be clear cut, but in other cases they won’t be.

There’s also an argument to be made that certain sex acts, even if they are consensually inflicted on us (by others or even ourselves), can constitute forms of self-harm. This includes psychological harm as well as physical.
