My immersion of Ghost of Tsushima was ruined when I saw female lords being treated as equals to male lords.
I thought, “were they really equals back in Feudal Japan? This ruins my immersion.”
Then our brave, rugged, honorable lead Samurai who we respect, jumps on to his knees and prostrates himself at every opportunity in front of his uncle/lord, saying unironically how unworthy he is to exist in the presence of such a divine being…
…and I was like, “oh yeah. In those moments where he is actually true to his period, I lose all respect for him.”

Fair play game, fair play.
