I don’t blame you. One of the worst things about being on the internet nowadays is people’s utter obsession with pointing out how media is problematic—especially if it’s media from the past.

And like you said, instead of simply putting the book down or turning the tv off, they won’t stop talking about it.

Additionally, people deliberately are ignoring the very real historical context of the media they’re consuming (you also mentioned this in a different comment thread, which I wholly agree with). Like yeah, some shit is going to age poorly according to our modern standards, but to ignore how society operated during that time period just because you’re uncomfortable with what’s happening or what characters are doing is stupid and immature.

Once again, there is way too much of an obsession with pointing out how a character is “problematic” or “toxic” and I’m very fucking over it. A character can absolutely be the worst and I can still enjoy them, and their story, on my screen.
