That negative or morally questionable topics are advertiser-unfriendly. Of course, advertisers don't need to run positive or moral ads, though.
I know you don't think that, but imagine thinking sex was negative or morally questionable. It all comes down to money, of course. "Can't have my brand associated with sex because some people hate sex and they might not give me their money! Better pretend like we can deny sex exists altogether." And then the same advertisers advertise beer using boobs.
