Lol agreed - I got my master's in medieval history, and the "realistic" claim is just so frustrating. It's not any more inherently realistic than the good, selfless hero conquering darkness, it's skewed to the other side. Believe it or not, not all medieval women were raped, not everyone was tortured to death. Sometimes, life was actually okay, just like it was sometimes shitty.

The crazy thing is when you say this to people they get this blank "no way" look. People don't know history for shit.

Is there some research paper titled NO PEOPLE WERE NOT GETTING RAPED ALL DAY IN MEDIEVAL TIMES that I can print and thrust into people's faces whenever this comes up?

This is the point I've been trying to make with a friend of mine. Generalizations that are skewed toward cynicism are treated as more mature and nuanced than generalizations skewed toward idealism even if there's an equal amount of thought and complexity involved, and it frustrates me.
