Feel like he's no more problematic than he always has been. Watching all the Chappelles of the world aging poorly, Tarantino has said some surprisingly progressive shit in my minimal biased experience

I might just be in denial, but I've always felt like Tarantino's problematicity was overblown

In a world of literal rapists, it's easier to give him a pass.

People are concerned or outraged again in the name of someone else. In this case Salma Hayek. Usually using that she tells the story of how uncomfortable she felt, leaving out the fact that she felt uncomfortable because of the snake. Not this.
