I have never heard of this. Up to a point Hemingway may be putting the knock on solitary heroes ( for example Charles Lindbergh) but there is nothing objectionable in the tale of the fisherman. certainly no foul language, sexual plot twists, homo-erotic angles of development. it is sort of sorry tale, but nobody dies (among the humans) the exertions of the voyage do NOT kill the Fisherman, and the version I remember reading ends relatively happily as a young lad wants to go fishing with him as he returns ( alive but sans big catch) to port. It could have been more cheery, but there is nothing objectionable about the story- now you have domestic animal deaths in Red Pony, and some others, and often violence is cast in to some story just to pepper things up- but not here. I can"t see anything wrong with the story.
Ernest Hemingway wrote "The Old Man and the Sea" in Cuba because he found inspiration in the country's culture and landscape. He had a deep connection to Cuba and considered it his home for many years, which influenced his decision to set the story there. Additionally, he was drawn to the fishing culture in Cuba, which is a central theme in the novel.
There doesn't seem to be any reason why it would be. It is a rather heroic tale without any sex nor unreasonable violence. Yes, it did get bloody in places, but it was in the context of nature where it is vicious enough without human involvement. The only reason it might be could have to be political in nature since it was written while Ernest Hemingway was in Cuba, and the US has a trade embargo with them. Also, it might be too bloody for some animal rights activists.
The book was written by Hemingway in Cuba in 1951 because that is where Hemingway lived at the time. That is also why the setting of the story is in Cuba.
The Old Man and The Sea was written by Earnest Hemingway in 1951, when he was living in Cuba. It is regarded as one of his most seminal works and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953.

The external scenes in the film adaptation of "The Old Man and the Sea" were shot on location in Cuba. The movie was filmed mainly in and around the coastal town of CojΓmar, which is near Havana. These locations were chosen to capture the authenticity of the story set in the waters of the Gulf Stream.
No, The Old Man and the Sea is not a gothic novel. It is a novella written by Ernest Hemingway, focusing on themes of survival, perseverance, and the struggle against nature. Gothic novels typically involve elements of horror, mystery, and the supernatural, which do not feature prominently in The Old Man and the Sea.
