"1 percent of the series is problematic, so you are morally required to throw away the whole thing." Cool opinion.

    Not cool, just principled.

    Dude you can admit you're into boy wizzard fantasy so much that racism doesn't bother you and that you don't mind financially supporting terf political attacks on lgbtq folk.

    That's the principles you're exposing. Have a great life.

    Just make sure you aren't consuming any media that might contain anything problematic. Or written by anyone problematic. Or produced by anyone problematic. Or financially benefiting anyone problematic. Wouldn't want you to be a hypocrite or anything.

    Can't be watching Star Trek with all that racial stereotyping and sexism in the original series. Or Star Wars, with Jar Jar and Watto being racially problematic. Lord of the Rings has a distinct lack of female and non-white characters, and some anti-Asian undertones. There's a lot of problematic stuff in most old Disney movies, looney tunes and other cartoons, plenty of video games... No films starring or directed by Mel Gibson. Nothing involving Bill Cosby, Kevin Spacey, or Danny Masterson. Nothing produced by Miramax or the Weinstein Company (hope you weren't a Tarantino fan). So many pitfalls and all totally inexcusable to consume. Just make sure you purity test everything, my guy. Not even 1 percent, right?
