Also, I was thinking about putting no privilege porn, please in my do not like list, but I thought it might be too mean. :/

But I tend to read the need to show a privileged POV/a character expressing *isms as a way to write about privileged characters without getting called on it. 'Historically accurate' can be used as an excuse because it's only telling one aspect of history. Shift the angle towards another group of people or a disprivileged person and the way certain issues and *isms are portrayed have to change.
