No, sometimes you can't! I was using "problematic" in a frackin' parenthetical note about a famous writer who'd also said some fucked-up shit, when mostly I was saying, "hey, I wonder if that term references this writer." I didn't want to mention her without noting the existence of fucked-up shit in her body of work, but it totally wasn't what the discussion was ABOUT.
