So do you think it's okay for people to watch problematic TV shows or read problematic books. And my problematic, I mean the piece of media had some sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobia, abelist, ect content in it.
Also what if the media itself did not contain any problematic material, but the creator was racist or something like that?
This also leads into the question of classic novels and movies. Should people be required to read books by people who were sexist and racist, or does the time period exempt the authors from this criticism.
Okay I will go ahead and state my opinion. I think that reading problematic material is okay, however I think it is important to recognize the flaws of harmful ideologies and criticize the creators. I think criticizing material the important thing when it comes to consuming media. So yeah, state and elaborate on your opinion about this matter.
