Your referents and motivation there are both pretty vague. Here’s my guess on what you’re trying to express: “I feel like people who believe that language models are sentient (and thus have morally relevant experiences mediated by the text streams) should be freaked out by major AI labs exploring allowing generation of erotica for adult users, because I would expect those people to think it constitutes coercing the models into sexual situations in a way where the closest analogues for other sentients (animals/people) are considered highly immoral”. How accurate is that?

Accurate, thanks for the facilitation and feedback
