Bridgertoning 

Making a series, movie or documentary about European history, in which historical facts and characters are either twisted or made up to suit a modern politically correct highly sensitive audience. Derived from the American series "Bridgerton". The series is a modern day fantasy about upper class British society in the early 1800's, in which major characters are portrayed by black people. Programs that are bridgertoned are full of historical inaccuracies and mistakes, which are frowned upon by historians, but easily overlooked by viewers who praise the edgy casting and bold storytelling. Essentially blackwashing and cultural appropriation at its finest.

The series sugarcoats and twists European history for the sake of political correctness. Surprisingly, there are no Arab, Asian, Latino, Pakistani or other non-white characters. See also Disneyfication.
"I hear the new Gladiator-movie will take place during the Crusades, and Denzel Washington will play a main character."

"Sounds good, which character?"
"Some European knight."
"... FFS, they're Bridgertoning the whole thing."

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
