I think this conversation tends to get all freaky because I think there are two distinct points that people don't actively distinguish.

On the one hand, there's the question of whether it is licit to have women / PoC in historical or imaginative settings. Which is the point that you're addressing, and I completely agree with you for what it's worth.

On the other hand, there's the question of whether it's mandatory to have women / PoC in historical or imaginative settings, and further whether it has to be in the same ratios as present day Western society, or what. And I think that's more complicated maybe.

I mean, maybe no one is actually arguing that it's mandatory, I don't know, but I think that's part of the complication of this argument.
