I'm confused about why my personal values wouldn't be reflected in my recommendations for how to publish and write stories.

Are your truly incapable of seeing the problem?

I'll help you, you wrote: publishing a “clean” version

What if your version of clean is my version of horribly offensive?

Are you really unable to see that people might have different opinions of things? If that's really true, I fear your have been "cleaning" your content far far too much.

Then you'd be wrong and I'd be right. There are merits to this argument, not everyone's opinion is equally valid.
