    That’s a stupid take tbh. The entertainment sector has whitewashed and sugar-coated history so badly people believe that’s what actually happened. The truth of long historic events would never be accurately portrayed as it would contain almost exclusively rape and slave exploitation. The entertainment industry already portrays history as complete fiction so why not make it entertaining to more than just the groups who caused the rapes and exploitations.

      I know that american history isn’t that long so there’s a lot of that in it, but I can assure you that there are a lot of historic events in the history of other countries that are more than that.

      already portrays history as complete fiction so why not make it entertaining to more

      That’s not what happens - games and movies are claiming to be “as historically accurate as possible” just to have blatant mistakes all over it for the sake of diversity.

        History of every country is full of rape and slavery. Not sure why you bring up America but it certainly had it during its short life. Name any long ago historic event in any country and a portrayal of it from the entrainment industry.

          Idk you kinda sounded like the classic leftist american that flagellates himself the entire day over the history of a country during a time he didn’t even exist lmao.

              Dunno, I’m not hiding from anything, but I’m not responsible for the acts people have committed years, decades or even centuries before I was even born. The entire concept of inherited guilt is stupid beyond imagination.

                No one said you should feel responsible or feel any guilt. Just accept the truth and not the “gool ol days” description that the entertainment industry pushes.
