I hate the misconception that everyone who writes about 13-year-olds getting married in an old-fashioned setting knows better and is intentionally lying about being historically accurate. No. They don't do their research, and they believe the misconception too. The writing world isn't full of guys just sneaking around being liars so they can get off on child marriage. For fucks sake.

Feel like it's sorta both? They don't do the research because they don't want to do the research, because they're happy with the conclusions.

You seem to be reading an awful lot into this, nonny. No one accused anyone of being a liar. It's a popular trope in certain genres for modern characters to excuse some immortal whatever's attraction to a tween under the 'that sort of thing was normal back when they were young.' This trope is based on a misconception. Unbunch your knickers.
