All it shows is a total ignorance of history and it’s done to appeal to unintelligent people that are won over by such things.
So Oklahoma! is offensive because people never thought Oklahoma was so wonderful that they would break out into song and dance about it?
I’m just saying that storytelling doesn’t have to be true-to-history. If people are stupid enough to cite the fiction as fact, that’s on the stupid people for not doing their research, not the writers of the fiction. It’s not akin to peddling fake news that dupe the gullible, as Fox News does, since the game never claims to be an accurate depiction.
I understand that Gladiator and The Patriot are largely popcorn movies, and Apollo 13 has obvious inaccuracies if you know anything about NASA’s standard procedures. If people use these films as sources to cite actual events, that’s on them for being ignorant, not the writers for telling a story people will enjoy.
Respawning is historically inaccurate.
Also this.
