There was a good analysis posted years ago about why Ender's Game is actually kind of shit, but I am too lazy to go look it up.
Anyway, there are very few media things that I enjoy that aren't problematic. I mean, there will be the odd China Miéville or Saul Williams (or nihilistic_kid) where I'll be like,"here, take a bunch of my money and you'll probably even do things I support with it beyond supporting yourself so you can make more politically astute art." But mostly I am into fan culture for the segments that pick apart where work is fucked up and where either the author's or the culture's politics seep in.
But there's a limit. I can easily avoid watching Tarantino speak about anything (while still loving his movies); it's harder for me to watch a Polanski film without flying into a fit of rage.
