You can make any number of arguments why X, Y or Z is bad (or, "considered harmful"). The truth is, if you want to get stuff done, objects often fit the domain well enough and put state in predictable places. A bandaid here or there, "friend" classes and so on may be required. But, you'll get stuff done even if it's not in some perfect stateless beauty.
