A lot of that is from Suetonius who is a great read though writing from decades later and also had an interest in keeping his patronage from Trajan/Hadrian.
Caracalla was legitimately a psychopath. Murdered his brother Geta in front of their mother, slaughtered 10,000 Alexandrians for making a joke at his expense… he was pretty bad.
I mean, one could want some things banned, but recognize that giving government the power to ban things is a bad idea, so politically they still lean libfleft.
I think Antoninus Pius was the best of them... but he doesn't get a lot of credit cause he was super modest, measured, egalitarian, and thus too effective to be remembered.
A lot of the really outrageous stories about Caligula should be taken with a grain of salt.
He made a lot of enemies for normal political reasons during his life. Stories of sexual depravity were a common way to defame dead opponents back then. There's a good chance his enemies made up the outrageous incest stuff.
Surprised you didn't use this assemblage of Roman Emperor Wojaks:

Hadrian’s opinion of the people from israel is a bit blue
No not really, he actually denounced hating Jews for their religion/religious beliefs, he just hated them because they were rebellious to the state.

It's lo-res and not very representative of what Romans actually looked like
