Ok but actually I WILL continue to critisize the historical inaccuracy of certain things in historical or fantasy shows/movies/books etc not only because well
1. If there's no non-evil nonwhite people in your fantasy movie & your excuse is "well its historically accurate because it's set in Europe, there weren't any brown people there" while ALSO being fine with the presence of stuff like spices, tomatoes & potatoes, certain animals etc despite the historical inaccuracy fuck you & gargle my dick & balls, you can't have it both ways, and
2. Straight up this allows people to not have to think about Europe's colonization and all the shit they wouldn't have because their ancestors were greedy, murderous assholes. There's people who think that potatoes are Native to Ireland (they're not), or don't know that Belgian Chocolate didn't exist pre-15th century because chocolate was cultivated my Mesoamericans, or think that Curry is a British invention and not an Indian one. There's even historical movies that do this and it's REALLY weird & kinda reinforces misinformation & myths
