This is indeed an important aspect as well.

There's a group of people that somehow feels hurt on a personal level because their account got banned and as a result now oppose any protest from moderators on Reddit.

It's the same people that think they can moderate themselves, but yes, they'll find it it's hard work with people disagreeing with them whatever they do as a moderator.
