Should consumers be hunted and exploited for profit? Would high-spenders appreciate the label "whales" if this reasoning were explained to them?

The moral issue here is that people generally do not want to be hunted and exploited for profit. They imply that people are prey by labeling them "whale".

I guess it depends on the environment, but it's common for (adult) whales in mobile games to know the term and use it in reference to themselves (and minnow, dolphin, etc).
