This is a trope in all middle ages media I’ve seen. I’ve been watching someone play KCD2, and it’s not as bad… but still there and jarring.
The only place where I can think of where it seems more fair is, ironically, some animation? Barring anime’s sexism… problems, there’s less incentive for that, heh. I liked Avatar’s peasants:
But that’s because Avatar was good and stuff! I like the peasants though. They all seem at like the same level of dress and stuff! Look at that (Earth Kingdom?) people in the first picture! That’s real nice!
It’s Bolin/Mako’s Lower Ring family! And, clockwise, Jang Hui fishing folks and Republic City homeless.
Folks like this (along with some notably badass women) are the bread and butter of the shows, though. I don’t ever remember hitching to think ‘huh that farmer lady looks like a skimpy model’
