I am only speculating, but no, my speculations aren’t about being “bad.” That’s…kind of emerged on its own from other commenters in this thread. (Hence my plea/recommendation that folks read everything and not just jump in, I know how my threads go.)

My speculation is that there’s a trust gap that stands in the way of players being okay with passively consuming problematic media, but not-okay with its active creation. Or with these topics being tackled by game designers.

My read so far is that my speculations have either been rejected or ignored, which doesn’t surprise me. My OP kind of meandered; probably could have cut it in half.
