Who said anything about hanging out? This is a feedback thread.
Multiple people here have said that they wouldn't consider making their Tav smile through what you call traumatizing content "righting a wrong".
The bottom line is, if the expressions that bother you were optional, you would not have to see them in your game. It's not necessary to censor them completely for the potentially upsetting content to be avoidable, and not at the cost of turning it into something that can be equally upsetting to other people.
