Have to disagree hereSomething is problematic. No, fuck off, just say it's a problem.
Problematic, as I general hear it used, doesn't just refer to a problem, but more specifically to problematic elements of a thing or person that should nominally be and/or otherwise is an ally. I.e. a classic example is RuPaul, for a long time one of the most visible representations of queerness but who has a long history of issues with anti-trans discrimination and racism (yup) in addition to owning a bunch of fracking wells on his ranch in Wyoming, and so on.
You can argue there's a better word for that than problematic, which undoubtedly sounds like a clunky academic term in everyday speech, but idk what that alternate word would be.
