    My suggestion is to write your story the way you want it to be read and interpreted. Regardless of how carefully researched, how carefully worded your story is, people WILL label your work - good or bad - and further, there will always be that one person who will misconstrue everything you write and deliberately misinterpret it because of some sort of bias. We can't help it - it comes with the territory.

    Never underestimate the reader. We are capable of putting bias aside, we are able to understand multiple view points, we able to differentiate fact from fiction, truth versus lies, fact versus opinion, and, we not so single minded as to automatically put a label on something, set it in stone, and hold everything else accountable to that thought process.

    To me, this is not a question of it being too controversial to write. It's more a question on your ability to write and present an idea in a way which gets interpreted the way you want it to be interpreted. It has more to do with your writing skills than anything else.
