When making such points, it usually helps to talk about the systemic or situational factors pressuring people to do such things and to frame it as one plausible explanation that fits the scenario as presented rather than as an accusation.

You need to be very careful about making public accusations (or sounding like you are). That can seriously harm people's careers and lives.
