No.
I really hate to keep beating this dead horse, but "warui/ii" are
GENERIC terms used in a WIDE VARIETY of situations from which they
derive their nuance. In the big green Kenkyusha J->E dictionary that
is used as one of the main dictionaries by nearly every translation
company I have ever worked with, "warui" has 13 different sub-entries
spanning over half a page, and "ii/yoi" combined have 35 sub-entries
spanning over an entire page. Of these, only a small portion have
any social/moral nuance, and the examples they give clearly show that
the nuance is derived from the context and not intrinsic to "warui/ii
(yoi)" itself.
So I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but get over it. :/
