They are neutered to comply with current hate speech laws, and the developers err on the side of caution cause they don’t have full control over the output for which they are legally responsible.

Any warning about an unknown-to-us danger that is even just 500 years old or from a different culture is being treated like a superstition by us.
A good example of this would be the Yei River in South Sudan (and other areas along the equator) where the local tribes traditionally didn’t settle near the river because the river spirits didn’t allow it and brought misfortune and sickness to those who didn’t respect them.
Modern settlers disregarded that because it’s clearly unscientific, and rivers are great for trade and transportation.
And then the people living near the rivers started going blind, their children suffered from constant seizures and stunted development, and we still don’t have a cure.

Both of which you can still do. And with a library membership you can access the web version as well.

Humans just barely survived during most of our history.
Then a warming of the climate made agriculture possible, which lead to a surplus of food that could be used to feed people who were doing something other than gathering food.
Those people invented writing and that made real technological progress possible for the first time.
