If that's supposed to be a strawman, it doesn't really work. You could legitimately argue that it's unfair when people apply modern values to times when those values didn't exist, just as you could argue that it's unfair to introduce, say, feminism into a story that's clearly not intended to say anything about or have anything to do with feminism. (I wouldn't fully agree, but it's at least reasonable.)

Meaning qua meaning emerges only after the facts of the story are settled. Interpretation cannot take place before things have drawn to a close; the opinions and views of the participants are a part of the story of history, not a valid judgment of it. It is in no sense unfair when people apply modern values to times when those values exist - how else are we to understand, analyze, talk about history? You can say that some people do it in a way that's short-sighted and wrong, but the fundamental principle is correct - we are the ones evaluating and looking into these things and we cannot use any other standards than our own, either for determining what factually happened, or for judging what actually happened.
