A hard-and-fast NO SEXISM WHATSOEVER rule would lock me out of savoring the beauty of so much great art. That doesn't mean that I don't see and acknowledge that stuff. Of course I do. But why deny myself the joy of appreciating what's good in those things?

Also on 70s Columbo many of the killers were women and they were often women driven by gender-based restrictions or diminishing of their lives and their potential or freedom. And they were worthy adversaries for Columbo. That's not nothing!

It's a tough balance. Especially when we fall in love with things as a kid where that kinda stuff doesn't stand out as much. When you really dive in, SO MUCH stuff is problematic in some way. So, I definitely understand and relate to this sentiment.

And even when things arnt explicitly hateful they usually reflect a world were you don't exist or re-affirm you as an outsider. Idk if this is a shared sentiment by the trans community but it's how it is an Arab

Sexism, racism, xenophobia and LGBTQ-phobia greatly impact my overall enjoyment of things. The last example I can recall is an anime that is currently airing and a female character told another that "she must be feminine!" and I cringed like a MF.

But are there no cut off points for you? A line in the sand that makes it impossible to enjoy something, even if you loved it growing up?

Oh of course there are. There’s lots of media I find reprehensible, and I have a harder time with “problematic” stuff that’s made today than I do stuff that was made 40 or 50 years ago or more.

What was that line about being able to simultaneously enjoy a piece of media and still be critical of its problematic or more pernicious aspects?
