Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

im honestly shocked it took this long for nmkart to get review bombed lmao

[b0tster]

the review bomb turnout was so paltry that it didnt even trip steams automated review bomb sensors. they couldnt even drop the 'recent' score by 20% and the 'all time' score by 2% lmao

For the uninformed here is the sequence of events:

Op made nightmare kart which is a legally distinct bloodborne version of mario kart.

Some random fucksticks hosted a “anti woke” game awards involving people who werent even aware they were part of the “game awards”.

Nightmare kart wins first place at this award show. Op finds this out and posts it on bluesky finding it hilarious since shes trans.

Op adds a screen to the start up of the game so the first thing you see upon boot is a trans flag to further rub it in

Sweaty incel gamers who previously were happy about the anti woke game are now furious because they enjoyed something made by a trans woman

They attempt to go and review bomb the game in retaliation but because of the bluesky post theres so many positive reviews on the game (also bc its just a good game with good reviews) that they couldnt even effect if much and on top of that this whole situation has just made the game even more popular via word of mouth.

If someone beats you up for being "cishet white male" and nothing else, is this okay? Did you deserve it?
