Why do SJWs never say that 'silencing conservative speakers is problematic', or 'doing autoethnographies as research is problematic', or 'challenging the gender binary is problematic for bisexuals'?
Saying 'X is problematic' is just a pseudo-sophisticated way of saying 'X is evil, but my system of ethics is so obtuse and unstable, and my epistemology is so reactionarily anti-empirical, that I don't have the guts to say 'X is evil'.

But I just so want to obtain a deeper knowledge of understanding through vitriolic apathy and indifference, rather than all that bothersome rationalism and critical thinking.

Perfect way of putting it. "Problematic" is a completely insufficient way to discredit debate. The win/lose mentality is all wrong. Debate is a "listen to this, and "win" with me." situation. The conflict aims towards convincing through reason. No one loses through persuasion.

I miss being able fiddle with my pipe, rub my chin, peer over my glasses, and say hmmm, when I was caught out or too lazy to think. Though, I never mastered the bemused “you’re clearly wrong and I’m trying to find a nice way to say that,” look. Possibly, because I was a kid.
