Basic definition of "reductive" = "of or relating to reduction" or "reducing or tending to reduce."The word "reductive" gets thrown around a lot on here, and I don't think many of you have a clue how to use it in any meaningfully precise way.
That's quite straightforward and I should think most people (here) know what it means and how to use it.
Insisting on reading only a particular specialised sense of the word ("usual" to the world view of the cultural environment you inhabit) does illustrate an aspect of that point though.
