Also, the word 'nonharmful' is lifting a lot of weight. Everyone will say yeah, nonharmful things are fine! yet find ways of explaining how the things they don't like are harmful, actually. e.g., anti-gay people are very concerned about the harm to the 'fabric of society.' 1/https://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/1414664208482934785 …

I see problematic used this way a lot as well. It's more defensible to say "this is harmful" or "this is problematic" than it is to actually explicate a reason which might not be defensible on examination.

Agree with a lot of that. Disgust abstracts away a lot of mental/cultural scaffolding, which may be overdue an update. Problem is, that's what it's recruited to do, since there are limits to the amount of complexity you can deal with in a day.
