problematic

Something (real or fictional) that contradicts the political narrative you are trying to push, especially if your narrative would be considered by many to be radically progressive.
It is often used to describe fictional stories with positive heterosexual romances, functional traditional families, religion as a positive role in people's lives, characters happy to occupy traditional gender roles, children being raised by both their biological parents with no adopted siblings, etc.

"I find it problematic that the the parents in that story assumed their baby was a boy just because they were born with a penis."
