You're looking for problematic AITA (Am I The Asshole) Reddit stories, specifically for "Episode 23" of a compilation. While I don't have a direct link to an "Episode 23" that I can guarantee will be "problematic" as that's subjective, I can tell you what generally makes an AITA story problematic and give you some examples of commonly cited "problematic" or highly debated scenarios from the subreddit.

"Problematic" in AITA usually refers to:

Moral Ambiguity: Situations where there's no clear right or wrong, and both parties have valid (or equally flawed) points.

Extreme Behavior: Stories involving actions that are far outside social norms, abusive, or shockingly cruel.

Gaslighting/Manipulation: Where one party is clearly trying to twist reality or control another.

Entitlement: Stories featuring individuals who believe they are owed something or can behave however they wish without consequences.

Interpersonal Drama: Intense conflicts within families, friendships, or relationships that expose deep-seated issues.

Legal/Ethical Grey Areas: Situations that touch upon the law or established ethical codes in a challenging way.

Common Problematic AITA Themes (that you might find in a compilation):

Based on popular AITA discussions, here are some recurring themes that often lead to "problematic" or highly debated stories:

Wedding/Engagement Drama:

"Bridezilla/Groomzilla" scenarios: Demands about guest lists, outfits, food, or extreme expectations from the bridal party.

Financial disputes: Who pays for what, disagreements over budget, or expectations of others to fund the wedding.

Family interference: Overbearing in-laws, parents, or siblings trying to control wedding plans.

Example: The classic "vegan food at wedding" story where the groom/MIL canceled all vegan options behind the bride's back. (This was highly debated and often cited as problematic behavior).

Roommate/Living Situation Conflicts:

Theft/Disrespect of Property: Stories about roommates stealing food, using personal items without permission, or damaging property.

Hygiene Issues: Extreme messiness, unsanitary habits, or disputes over cleaning responsibilities.

Boundaries: Lack of respect for personal space, noise levels, or bringing guests over without warning.

Example: The "lactose intolerant roommate stealing milk" where OP swapped out the almond milk for regular milk to catch them. This sparked a lot of debate about whether the "trap" was justified.

Family/Parenting Disputes:

Favoritism/Inheritance: Unequal treatment of children, disputes over wills or family heirlooms.

Medical/Dietary Choices: Parents or family members refusing to respect a child's medical needs or dietary restrictions (e.g., vegan/vegetarian kids being forced to eat meat).

Disciplinary Actions: Parents using questionable punishment methods or overstepping boundaries with adult children.

"Golden Child/Scapegoat" dynamics: Where one child is consistently praised and another is blamed.

Example: A story where parents expect one child to sacrifice their own life/career to care for a disabled sibling.

Relationship Issues:

Cheating/Infidelity: Often leading to dramatic reveals or intense arguments.

Control/Manipulation: One partner trying to control the other's life, finances, or social interactions.

Differing Life Goals: Couples realizing they have fundamental disagreements on major life decisions (kids, careers, living arrangements).

Parental Alienation: One parent trying to turn children against the other.

Workplace/Social Etiquette:

Unprofessional Behavior: Employees or colleagues acting inappropriately.

Overstepping Boundaries: Coworkers meddling in personal lives or making inappropriate comments.

Unfair Treatment: Discrimination, favoritism, or lack of respect in a professional setting.
