I agree that's a less inflammatory sentiment. Personally, I didn't see any indication of 'guilt' in OP's statement. There are 'this is secret because I feel guilty about it' secrets and there are 'this is secret because I don't want to be criticized' secrets. OP doesn't say anything that I interpret as guilt but directly states that she doesn't want to be criticized (which is basically what 'accused of whitewashing' boils down to. No mention of abuse or censorship in OP's post, just of being told that people don't like what she's doing.)

I have no way of knowing what was in OP's mind, and maybe we should give the benefit of the doubt when something's ambiguous, but I don't think it's unreasonable to infer that the motives stated in the post are the ones that motivated the post.

On the internet, about 85% of the time criticism is either expressed as or experienced as verbal abuse. (percentage made up on the spot)

I think the key phrase here that expresses guilt is "sometimes," Op isn't "always" happy that the characters are white just when she sits down to plan her next cosplay. I think that the "sometimes" pretty clearly singles that OP knows this is not an appropriate thought to have.
