Seems similar to the “motte and bailey” concept—ideas having both rational and irrational interpretation.
Except that in the typical “motte and bailey”, the rational version is supposed to be boring, while in what you describe, the rational version is also interesting.
Probably any rational advice can be horribly abused, so I’m not sure if there is a specific category of those that are specifically “asking for” being abused, or whether just some forms of abuse accidentally become popular.
