I've literally seen it here, in that "Oh, but that lady's wardrobe isn't constricting enough! How dare she go out without a corset!" and things like that (how dare a woman know even the basics of using a sword!). The complaints about wardrobe are often in the sexist vein, I've found. So no, it's not confirmation bias, IMO, it's that people are complacent because they don't care enough to look at the why people care so much that a girl isn't wearing a corset when there's all kinds of magic going on around her, or why gay couples might exist in a world with fucking dragons.

So spare me tbh. I've seen "historical accuracy" used as a bludgeoning tool way too often, and if anyone's showing confirmation bias, it's you.

If that was the controversy over Emma Watson and Beauty and the Beast, you're badly misrepresenting it. Literally nobody was saying that her corset wasn't constricting enough. In fact, several people pointed out that it was a misconception to think that all corsets were like Victorian tight-lacing corsets, and that the early corsets were basically supportive garments.

You seem to have a pretty large chip on your shoulder where this topic is concerned, and you seem really, really determined to tar all complaints about historical inaccuracy with the "people being bigots" brush. I'm not saying those types of "critiques" don't exist, I'm saying that there are plenty of critiques that don't fit that description. I'm not sure you quite grasp what confirmation bias is.
