I mean, if it's problematic, it's problematic, right? I don't understand framing it as whether you choose to recognize something as problematic or not? You don't intrinsically have to care about it being problematic but like... it's like refusing to recognize whether an apple is red or green

Your analogy only works if there is a constant vicious battle in the background over whether the apple is red, green, or some other color entirely. And the reality is that it depends on the lighting and the angle what you actually see, and some people are colorblind, and some people can’t quite see it but HEARD that it’s red, and clearly if you think it’s green you’re Satan incarnate.

Meanwhile, you’re just like... it’s a fucking apple. I’m not even gonna bother to look at the color ‘cause I enjoy the taste.

My point here being: literally everyone thinks different shit is problematic, or that it isn’t, and there will never be a consensus. So yes, the option is there to literally close your eyes and eat an apple.

"Problematic" isn't nearly as clear cut as you make it out to be. Instead ofv"is the apple green or red" it's more like "is the dress white/gold or blue/black".

But the answer to "what color is the dress" is not, at any point, "no color at all".

Never said it was. But it was "I see this differently than someone else" and "people actually see different things here so you can't say for sure which colour people see in the picture (regardless of the actual colour of the dress)" and a lot of people rightfully went "WHO CARES WHAT COLOUR THAT DAMN DRESS IS".

So no, "I mean, if it's problematic, it's problematic, right?" is not actually true. It's a matter of opinion. There is no 100% agreement on whether or not something is problematic all the time.

No, sorry, this analogy completely proves me right. Different people can disagree about what color the dress is, and not care what color the dress is, and not want to hear from other people about the dress because they talk about it too much. But the dress still has a color.

How does it? Problematic is only one interpretation of a work, like gold and white is only one interpretation of the dress color. Why are you so convinced that your interpretation is the right one?
