My complaint is that it's such a generic concept, the word doesn't actually convey any meaning. Everything is problematic on some level. Two people could take issue with a work in ways that are completely opposed to each other, and both describe it as "problematic."

Use words that describe the specific problem. Is it skeevy about gender? Race? Sexuality? Does it use stereotypes about a certain group? Does it have minority characters who are well-rounded and fine in their own right, but sidelined in favor of the straight/white/male/cis/Christian/etc lead? Are people being sexualized in an uncomfortable way? Are people being desexualized in an uncomfortable way? Is it fine as an individual work, but disheartening in that it plays into some broader pattern? Is it a problem with the series, or a problem with something the creator said about how you're intended to interpret the series...or a problem of fans projecting their own assumptions and getting mad when that isn't realized? Is it an actual issue, or is it something fans are ginning up in order to bash people who don't like their favorite character/ship/whatever?

And so on. There's no one better word for the overall idea, there are endless combinations of better words for the different ways it manifests.

There's no one better word for the overall idea, there are endless combinations of better words for the different ways it manifests.

True, but "skeevy" would work surprisingly well in most cases.
