less problematic? absolutely. for a number of reasons, including the usual business about the awfulness no longer being closely aligned with established power imbalances, and the way that it adds a certain amount of ironic detachment to the proceedings.
in principle, still not great though.
on the other hand, being problematic in this general sort of way, with enough meta and or ironic self-awareness thrown on to avoid the most direct complaints, is, approximately, Lady Gaga's only joke, so i'm just going to file it under that heading.
