People conforming to the letter, but not the spirit, of a request. For now, this includes text posts, images, videos and links. Please ensure that the “malicious compliance” aspect is apparent - if you’re making a text post, be sure to explain this part; if it’s an image/video/link, use the “Body” field to elaborate.

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.
