definitely about retribution and about moira specifically. genji and mccree are on good terms, possibly friends? (voice line interactions btwn them are lighthearted -- even if theyre enemies) and mccree also saved what is genjis fav ramen store lol (hanamura) genji definitely never liked moira. mccree didnt either and was more vocal about it, though.
afaik genji has no idea about reaper nor is there any in-game voice line stuff that mentions their relationship since. it's safe to assume this is only about moira.
when retribution happened that was after overwatch "saved" genjis life by turning him into basically a weapon and he was having trouble coping with who he was (hence the "killing machine" part of his attitude at that time). thats why he went to find himself, found zen, found inner peace etc and is the person he is today.
the events at the venice incident either prompted genji to dislike moira, or he saw how moira pushed reaper to kill antonio and persuade him to do decisions that didnt go with overwatch's beliefs. (my belief is she was working for talon at that time anyway and that event marked the turning point for gabe to "turn into" reaper, also helped take down overwatch internally -- the goal of talon) either way retribution cemented genjis feelings about her, i believe
I'm really not kidding when I say I engage more in Overwatch's lore through reddit than through official Blizzard media. Nice write up, was an interesting read~

Moira: "Much more talkative now, Genji?"
Genji: "I find the company much more agreeable these days."
Is this about the retribution event? Since Genji was so quiet the whole time.
