Right.
But nonetheless many do.
Just like they complain about Twain, and Burroughs, and other long dead authors. Retroactively applying 21st century mores to 19th and 20th century writers.
I'm not saying it is sensible--it isn't --but it happens.
More and more frequently, too.
Worse, they complain when stories set in the past accurately reflect the prejudices of the past.
