Nah, I got you--and I have a few thoughts of my own. (I have a whole alternate storyline for Hans that would make him misguided but not a straight villain, that I rather prefer, because I like the idea of subverting that as well. Even though it's fun to see how they did try to make him a sociopath.)

I will tell you an embarrassing secret: For some reason, I really hate the word "problematic." I have no idea why, because the idea behind it is something I agree with (saying you recognize something you like has things that bother you), but ... ugh, something about it just makes me want to go all "A BAT CREDIT CARD?!?!?!" when I read it. It's extremely weird. But I do agree with you on the Saami thing!
