What exactly is problematic about them?

Every single one of them makes fun of a ton of stereotypes, the entire point of Anchorman is to make fun of sexism - the sexists are the idiots!

are generally considered “problematic” today

Which movie of the last 50 isn’t? Seriously, every single movie has some problematic bits in them. Ignoring the historic context is just incredibly braindead. You can’t just put modern standards and push them onto everything.

I think, you are exactly of the mindset criticized in the article. You don’t want to offend anyone, you don’t want to risk having tastes changed, because then suddenly you are problematic. And that’s just the exact opposite of art. That’s the mindset of a subject.
