I think what is more problematic that Shukla's behaviour is the glorification of that behaviour.
People can have faults, some more than others. But what becomes an issue is actual glorification and infact cheering of this kind of behaviour. That IMO is the actual issue.
This is the problem I had in Shinde's season as well when her bullying VG in the first two weeks was termed as entertaining. Didn't matter if VG was a good guy or an ass, her bullying him was never entertainment.
Similarly, Shukla's "real" persona, no matter how crass or problematic is termed as hero/asli mard wali qualities in the show and by others. But at the end of the day it's Problematic and crass. Plain and simple.
Even if we agree that everybody in the house is wrong that doesn't make Shukla right now does it?
Their might be some people who might be his fans just for his looks or height or some other superficial quality which is absolutely fine. But that doesn't mean they have to be a fan of his actual personality as well but they've taken it upon themselves on SM to defend his every action even if they know it's not right just coz ego issues and that's what is problematic.
Also, I like how this has become a trend nowadays that if a person is aggressive, crass and foul-mouthed it means he's 'real'. Because real life mein polite ya tameez wale log kaha hote hain right?
