“Here’s something you’re not gonna want to hear”
“This is gonna make some of you mad but…”
“People want to believe pretty lies, but the truth is…”

ahhhhh i have also had the same question, i would love a label
it feels similar but not quite exact to the 'painful update button', where the fact that information is painful is framed as a virtue and thus the pain is ignored as a potential signal of damage
