Anachronism

A thing belonging to a period other than that in which it exists (especially something that is conspicuously old-fashioned)

I know there's a fear of abusing the terms "fascist" or "(neo)nazi" due to their historical weight, anachronism etc, but sometimes safeguarding it too much makes you miss labelling actual nazis that would proudly claim the label.

altho, a little like saying the framers trusted states, not washington, with religious establishment. i mean, first anachronism is there is no washington yet. 2nd is, ofc no state trusted the union w voting. that would have been incomprehensible. and voting for what? barely any federal franchise!

i think what people are missing the most about guns-in-fantasy discussion is that guns aren't typically excluded from fantasy stories because of an inaccurate belief that they're anachronistic (even if that's what the creator claims) but rather that guns represent a very specific kind of combat
