Because anytime you mock its usage you get called a nazi or something. I just ignore it entirely and pretend there is an awkward space in a sentence.

My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

I've been doing my part for ages. it's a meaningless word for people unwilling to take a stand and call something bad and then justify it. they think they can get away saying problematic and not have to ever back up the claim and it's bullshit

"Problematic" is a good word for certain situations, particularly ones where something is probably wrong/offensive/hurtful but not directly bigoted. Or when there's some level of ambiguity to whether something is okay or not, which is often the case because that's how culture/society works.

But in that case isn't it just a synonym for "I don't like that?" Video games were "problematic" for the wives of Gore and Clinton. But who cares? Sounds like a signal word to dismiss the speaker out of hand.

it’s the word you deploy when something doesn’t meet the threshold of a term like racism

so for example it’s problematic when black people call eachother the n word

if only there was a politically correct term, for something you find more complex than a simple 'it's bad'

"complex-y", perhaps. or "issueful."
