There seems to be a sentiment out there as well where if you portray or show something evil or immoral on screen then somehow you’re endorsing those actions. Which always seemed to be a pretty wild take to me, how can you tell a story without conflict?

I've seen this come up many times with literature specifically. People will choose specific lines from a book spoken by the villain and use them to say the author is a bad person. That's the point of a villain! They're supposed to be an unpleasant, crappy, or outright evil person that the heroes must struggle against.
