What is Step on Up for?

Am I right in thinking that it's a red flag because it signals that there might be content that conflicts with what you enjoy most about the game? Like, you never want there to be a question of whether you should kill somebody, just whether you can kill them, right? The ninja formulation avoids that because there's no connection to family, right?
It's not really an issue of conflicting content, per se -- more an issue of a lack of information about the things I care about. Specifically, I don't get a good feel for the Situations out of a pitch like that.

Imagine that the pitch came from someone who you trust "gets it" about what you want. The family thing would just be about adding intensity to the challenge, like, you're not just working as a team, you're working as a family. Is that less alarming? More alarming? Less relevant?
It does sort of come down to a trust issue; if I had a pre-existing level of trust there, sure, I might go along with it. Something like a traditional mafioso game would sound like fun, and those sorts of Situations hardly make sense without a heavy layer of family.
There's just rarely any good reason to be knowingly coy about it, in my experience, is all.
