I see more concern over the actual implementation than the goals themselves. I suspect there are very few people (though vocal) who would say that harassment is a good and valuable part of a culture.
Most of the hysteria I see is some form or another of slippery slope arguments and assumptions of grand power abuse.
I guess I just don't see "Reddit is dead, abandon ship!" as a viable response to admins saying "Hey, harassment is bad and we're going to be more responsive to it."

That's a fair assessment. There's also concern about implementation encouraging abuses of power.
I agree, few consider harassment a desirable part of the culture here. A fair number consider sufficiently broad freedoms a desirable part of the culture, and harassment an unfortunate price to be paid for that.
There is, perhaps, some truth to that.
