70 percent? Try more like 99.9.

I have a RL friend who went down the path of SJW and there is literally nothing she doesn't find problematic anymore. We watched Madoka Magica a couple months ago and she ended up putting it on her shit list since the show implies at one point that the teenage girl demographic goes through the most volatile mood swings/depression/stress/etc.

In fact, she's not told me about single new show/book she's watched in the past year. Just SJW dealings and old stuff that she finds new problems with.

I was trying to be generous. :P I didn't want anyone to be like, "Where did you get that statistic?!?!?!!?"



But yeah it is closer to 90% at least.

Tangential, but I'll admit I did find that reasoning a little odd when I watched it (inasmuch that if I were from a race of beings that took emotional turmoil from humans and turned it into energy for my civilization I wouldn't limit it to a single demographic), but the show is a deconstruction of magical girls so I saw it as a handwave explanation as to why Kyubey is only targeting girls at the right age to become magical girls...

And I'm one of those people who will point out stuff that rubs me the wrong way in media if asked to, I just don't do it to the point where I can't enjoy anything because even though many things have lots of little problems I find on the whole they're pretty good. Perhaps that's just me.

Finding it odd is one thing. Taking a break from the whole series and continuously bringing it up over the next couple of days, only to finally finish the rest of the episodes and get stuck back on that one issue in the entire show is another. Not the characters, not that plot, not any other aspect. The fact that that one thing - which granted is kind of a keystone for the story - was problematic is the only thing she ended up talking about.

Okay, and Sayaka. She paid lip service to Sayaka for a couple minutes.

Yeah that is kinda pushing it. I know have my odd hang-ups for certain shows but I'd like to think they're not that quibbling and that it's not the only reason I don't like said show.

Ah well, shame about your friend. Hopefully she'll mellow out.

I find almost everything I read/watch problematic in some way, even subtley. However, the threshold at which I refuse to engage anymore is way lower than it used to be, so I can like some really fucking dodgy stuff now (though other things just trigger my NOPE reflex).

Society is so drenched in kyriarchal assumptions about everything that it seems counterproductive to try to be "pure" about this stuff, we're ~all drenched in it, and the best thing to do is to question it and try to grow while getting the fuck on with life.

^ SA Er, threshold is way higher I mean.
