Sure -- to refine even more: I mean "problematic" as it is used in pop culture, social media, today -- often among generally "liberal" leaning folks (which I'd include myself in) and again, I can tell you what they're trying to say is in reference to a public figure or situation that has the appearance of supporting a currently taboo person or subject. And when it's done, I find it to be the kind of thing that SHOULD have more discussion, but doesn't.
I believe the most common example is probably "enjoying art made by someone who did ostensibly bad things," especially where the range of "bad" here is kind of broad.
Like, Dave Chappelle, JK Rowling, Kid Rock, Louis CK, R. Kelly, Woody Allen, Diddy etc. are all people who someone might say it's "problematic" to enjoy their art, but that's a WIDE range.
