Because it’s a prejudicial term, not because the past isn’t fucking shitty.

If that were true then what do you call the classical age? The darker ages?

We generally say 'Antiquity' and 'Late Antiquity' anymore.

Ooh present-tense anymore! Really don't see that very often, but it's got a nice ring to it
