I don't think they can really avoid touching on this, because a lot of this really is more about those tribes than about any particular underlying principle. For instance, a while back there was a controversy over a US Nintendo employee who worked with kids calling for it to be legal to own photos and videos of actual kids being raped. She was blue tribe and the people who discovered this red tribe, so the entire blue tribe insisted that anyone who was with them must side with her. There was even this narrative that she wasn't really calling for this, just defending Japanese culture, and anyone who claimed otherwise was lying. (Which didn't hold up - she'd used this as one flimsy justification as to why this should be legal, but hadn't even backed this with any evidence that any Japanese people supported this, and she was calling for it to be legal in the US and everywhere else too.) The idea that Japanese works shouldn't be policed by Western cultural standards is, in general, very strongly rejected by blue tribe folks, but that changed the moment an American of the right tribe needed defending.
