I remember when Fallout New Vegas* came out, a few people got very irritable that the Caesar's Legion** faction in-game were pronouncing Caesar with a hard "c", and various other entirely historically correct but unusual pronunciations rather than the ones they were used to. Generally, the sort of people who like to tell you how very clever they are
*Post-apocalyptic video game, very retro-futuristic in aesthetic, with a good few hours of anyone's time.
**For a game that tended towards shares of grey for factional mortality, having no truly angelic or evil groups in-timeline (beyond random raiders, who were at best just canon fodder anyway), the Legion were a rare example of a genuinely evil faction with no real motivation beyond terror and dominance.
We regard capitalist journalism as an effective weapon in the hands of a well-informed, but utterly unscrupulous, enemy, rather than merely as an unbiased recorder of passing events.
