"problematic" And it isn't even close.https://twitter.com/irgarner/status/1400918256542703617 …

It gets used that way in a lot of pop-cultural analysis too because if you say a text is 'racist' then people feel they have to stop enjoying it, or are bad for doing so. 'Problematic' doesn't come with the same implications.
Whereas I think a more grown-up way of looking at the matter is that all produced culture is going to be flawed because we are all flawed. Identifying those issues is important, but that doesn't always mean the flaws overwhelm the work (though sometimes they do)
