"this work is problematic because of how it handles [subject]": reasonable premise for media criticism
"this work is problematic because it depicts [subject]": do not pass go do not collect $200 this is, as a general rule, a functionally reactionary and conservative argument

people who bought the hp game knowing full well where that money was going this is not about you
don’t think I need to explain how that’s different
anyway I think a lot of the time yes this is a conservative reaction
but also sometimes I feel like people are scared to just…dislike something?
nobody can go
eh not for me
and move on anymore. if you dislike something you have to invent a reason why
your dislike is Correct and Good and liking the thing is Wrong and Evil
you can just not like something it doesn’t need to become a moral objection to the things existence
that’s not a Separate reason though if that makes sense?
because that reaction I feel is also a conservative one
