On one hand it makes sense that medieval european social relations imply, well, medieval european social relations and it makes sense to use your novel (or your show) to examine those.

On the other I can relate to many people wanting to see women in medieval fantasy to be represented in some other way than constant misery porn.

    yea that's basically my opinion. if you're sexualizing your female characters constantly while also showing how miserable being sexualized makes them it just makes it seem like another one of those shitty fantasies written for incels to me.
