I’ve come to realize over the years that most TV is problematic, but you can still be consciously aware of it and still enjoy what you like within that context. I think it’s worse if you watch it, but have no idea that it’s problematic. My dad watches big bang theory sometimes, and that show is incredibly misogynistic for laughs. He has no idea, he thinks the humor is normal. He just takes a lot of that stuff in completely unexamined. My point being, if you are consciously aware of something being problematic, it makes your consumption of it more responsible.

Oh boy, what did it wrong this time?
I’m sorry but whenever someone starts talking about something being problematic it’s mostly something that really isn’t a problem, it’s just a personal dislike
