problematic

a word used by antis and gatekeepers in fandom in relation to characters or pairings/ships that they personally do not like. often used as an excuse to attack and gaslight shippers and fans who do like the character/ship.

sometimes the excuse for calling a fictional thing "problematic" is that it's abusive, incestuous, or has a large age gap. or one of them is a villain. or two characters are enemies (or they used to be). or or none of these at all. the excuses are numerous, and many of them unfounded assertions.

Anti: "You shouldn't ship Reylo, it's problematic because Kylo Ren is a fascist and Rey is child-coded and they are cousins."
Shipper: "Uh...what?"

Hugely Problematic

A frequent and unsustainable departure from what has traditionally been considered to be the absolute minimally acceptable behavior from the Executive branch.

Lies, mis-direction and fascist behavior are generally unacceptable; in the context of election preservation they're Hugely Problematic and must be resisted AT ALL COSTS...

problematic bitch

When someone is constantly having an issue with someone or something

Ugh Kenzie is such a problematic bitch
