To the extent that it detrimentally affects other points of consciousness.
Karma is about how you relate to other consciousness. What you send out, comes back. What you take away, gets taken away from you. When you hurt others, you are hurting yourself. When you help others, you are helping yourself. It is the oneness calling you back to awareness of your own essential nature. Imbalance calls out for balance. The question calls out for the answer. Water seeks its level.
In the STS perspective, they are not terribly interested in realizing that nature, so they balance their selfish, absorbent nature, by absorbing more and more and more of whatever is taken from them by universal balancing. They see others as a resource to replenish their neverending appetites (appetites which are generated by the constant taking from others, which, as I said, simply affirms their lack).
There is an inflow and an outflow of energy to and from the universe. STO radiate outwards, and the universe flows inwards to balance this. STS absorb inwards, and the universe flows outwards from them. It's simple balancing.
Are you going to answer my question now?
