I also dislike 'problematic' used in this way, but perhaps for different reasons. My issue with it is the imprecision, regardless of it the reader knows why we might think it is problematic. It's a weasel word.https://twitter.com/tmbejan/status/1442414902761689088 …
'Problematic' gets written in place of 'sexist' or 'racist' or 'pro-imperialist' etc frequently because the writer isn't prepared or doesn't feel confident enough to specify and substantiate those allegations. But specification and substantiation is what argument is for!
I agree that "problematic" is often used to gesture at allegations of that sort, but I think there is sometimes a good-ish reason. Let's say I have a "problematic" text, and I want to discuss parts of it that have relatively little to do with the problematic nature of it.
It would distract from my point to exhaustively demonstrate all the various flaws, and I would risk getting bogged into lengthy arguments about something irrelevant to my point. At the same time, I don't want to let the language or ideas pass without any objections.
Basically. This article for example, makes less sense when it runs "am I too racist/sexist to get laid?".https://twitter.com/thetimes/status/1441486057615224839?s=19 …
Interesting thread and response. I tend to use problematic to mean that 1) There are multiple problems and I don't have time to get into them all right now and/or 2) Going into detail would distract from the real point I want to make but I don't want to ignore the problems.
It's really only useful for acknowledging that something or another has a bunch of problems that you don't want to argue about. E.G. "I know Bay's Transformers movies are problematic, but today I want to focus on its depiction of masculinity."
