Anybody want to commiserate on something that sucks?

    It makes it especially infuriating when the only complaints around historical accuracy come about with the introduction of black people, women (outside of normative roles), or LGBTQ themes.

      Even non-CHUD bait historical inquiries don’t bother me all that much if they serve the plot, it’s just that the clear visual anachronism pisses me off. It’d be like a biopic of Lenin with a Ford F150 in the background.

        Good point. It’s jarring seeing modern aesthetics in a historical setting. I had that with seeing bright colors or designs on clothing/armor

          Depending on the era, outright garish clothes with big codpieces and the like would actually be historically accurate compared to grimdark quasi-medieval aesthetics.

        The storming of the Winter Palace with a BattleTech Marauder in the background, an edit that accidentally got included in a textbook, was awesome at least.
