Bridgerton? Outstanding Period Costumes? Maybe From the Front
Zippers abound in the show, which takes place before the zipper was invented

There is nothing wrong with a period drama taking a few historical liberties—particularly in the case of a show like Bridgerton, which attempts to reimagine an era that has been done so often and so faithfully as to have become a bit rote, making conditions ideal for some enterprising television program to swoop in and add a whole bunch of gratuitous cunnilingus.
In fact, despite Jane Austen never having mentioned it, people absolutely did plenty of cunnilingus during this time period—because mouth stuff was not invented in the 1970s the way most Americans seem to believe. But what Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy definitively did not have were fucking zippers, and it’s inexcusable that an awards committee supposedly comprised of experts would overlook that fact when handing out the nominations for “Outstanding Period Costumes.”
