When someone mentions historical accuracy, it's become a huge red flag to me. Wonder why. thinkin-lenin

Because the commies obsessed with Soviet history couldn’t give less of a shit about having an integrated cast for their renfair background characters.

Now, make Marx into a liberal, on the other hand…

someone should make a mod for that Assassin's Creed game with a Marx NPC to make him more historically accurate i.e. just quote entire passages from Capital

Because it's a fictional setting and there is no history to be accurate to

Because they just want to use it as an excuse to be racist. Even games with a historical setting like Kingdom Come: Deliverance just use "historical accuracy" to erase queer people and people of color from the history of medieval Europe. And how accurate is it really to have a main character that is socially mobile and rises through the ranks of nobility?

Then you have stuff like Pentiment that has works cited and is dope as fuck.
