I don't have a problem with it personally. Take this idea to the extreme are we going to not show anything in movies that we don't want to advocate for as a society? ie. theft, speeding, violence, etc etc. I'd prefer cinema be given the creative freedom.

Creative freedom is fine. Problem is when it is clearly a product placement and used way more often than for purely creative purpose.

And a for a very evil product.

Fair point.

It's already absurd. News sites and police are not releasing photos and detailed descriptions of suspects because it would "purpetuate racist stereotypes".
