Yes, a few folks have responded saying it makes them sad
that I am spoiling their fun. But that proves exactly what I was saying of course - this kind of fantasy is easy to consume & doesn't make people angry - pointing it out does!
And #spoton re Marina!!!

We have to wonder at the cost of our "fun." What values are we internalizing? Why do we need our history to be full of lies? This wealth did not come from farming the land. Those silks and diamonds came from plunder and bondage. Beautiful people wearing them doesn't erase that.

All the WOC were cast as harlots (Marina, Modiste woman, the opera singer, probably the queen for ‘snagging’ the king) while WW were chaste & innocent. Same old tripe, different set, yet trying to pretend slavery & racism magically disappeared with the king’’s marriage.

Also, i really hate romance stories/shows that fetishize the value of a women being only through motherhood, whether in the past or contemporarily, since it reinforces this patriarchal BS. I see it in too many narratives indoctrinate young folks that HEA = baby. Oof!
