I guess that's the heart of the disagreement -- to me "mildly dystopian" is a very funny phrase. Dystopia / Utopia are extremes; perfect and perfectly bad.

If we're calling potentially abusable things "dystopian" then, ok, sure. But then you have to let me call unscented soap "utopian", since it is at least mildly utopian.
