I think in some video games, they make "appealing to today's standards" take precedence over historical accuracies.

Hogwarts Legacy is a great example of this. At one time in the game on a side quest, you meet a woman that tells you she is married to another woman. But the game is based in the very late 19th century, there were no same sex marriages back then, not in Scotland anyway. If there were anybody back then that was able to marry someone of their own gender, they wouldent have been open about it, they wouldent have gone around telling any old Tom Dick or Harry about it.

Probably, but in a setting where magic is a thing, that ship kind of sailed.

I don't know. Even outside of the topic, it's like people preferring (or claiming) Batman to super powered heroes for realism, but will eat up stories which has him overly capable of feats that make more sense with a powered character.

Alternatively like I said earlier, it's just like when people will claim that quality should come before diversity pandering, but then suspending criticism when their wants are pandered to (Crude humor, sexy looking characters or just top-notch special effects).
