Every piece of media you've ever consumed is problematic. But you can't spend your whole life clutching your pearls over everything that ever crosses your path. At some point you have to come to terms with the fact that a) most people are genuinely trying to be good people b) no one is perfect, and even the most progressive people in the world have prejudices.

I spent about six months seeing bigotry everywhere, and for a little while it did kill my enjoyment of things. But I snapped out of it pretty quick when I decided that it's bullshit to let that kind of thing ruin your life. I'd much rather buy a game written by a guy who's trying to write awesome women characters, than not buy a game by him just because he kind of failed with one of them.

I think most people who care about this stuff do go through a phase where they are adopting the new awareness into their psyche, and eventually integrate it. At first there's the fervour of a convert, but then we get more chilled about it. Some people never do grow out of that phase, and if they're being real life, productive, activists, then I will respect them. If they're just churning up the same dirt, then I pity them because the acid will eat them from within.
