As Mpetey123 said, it's anachronistic with the express purpose of normalising aberrant behaviour in past epochs so people think that modern sociopolitical talking points were always present.
They do it with everything -- historical films, biographies, period pieces. You have films like A World Apart, The Wonder Women, Ammonite, Lizzie, and other such pieces where they include or focus on aberrant topics that either didn't happen or were nonsensical for the time period.
But it doesn't matter because the average normie will see it and accept it. I've unironically encountered people who think that history was littered with incalculable amounts of alphabet degenerates because that's what they saw on Netflix. I've lost count of the amount of times I've actually had to explain how mammalian species only come in two genders and humans can only procreate via a male and female.
It's like people these days really are becoming dumber by the day.
