I remember an argument here a while back that started when someone mentioned encountering really atrocious views in the Bible belt. Someone from Texas piped up and said "BUT WE'RE NOT ALL LIKE THAT YOU FUCKER." And then someone showed up and was like, "yeah, I agree! California is considered liberal but I know some really conservative people from there!"

Neither of them seemed to understand trends or demographics. Like, sure, not everyone in the Bible belt is Christian, but the majority are. And sure, not everyone in California is liberal, but it's a blue state for a reason.

Your arguments remind me of that. "TRENDS DON'T MATTER BECAUSE IT WASN'T ALL LIKE THAT."

Whether trends matter depends entirely on the problem at hand. Continuing the parallel you've offered, this discussion is someone saying that they dislike it when British people behave like they're from California and me countering this statement with "but there ISN'T a single way to behave like you're from California, California is a very diverse place?"

"I dislike it when fic is stylized as stereotypical wordy and flowery Victorian lit" is a sentiment I would have zero problems with. What I do have a problem with is that the OP seems to be under the impression that there is some one way to do a Victorian pastiche and that this pastiche must necessarily be strikingly stylistically different from a modern work of fiction.
