The antagonism against social constructs comes when they are used as arguments for some current social hegemony. It's understandable that a feminist for example says it's bullshit that women can't have hairy armpits because "that's just not what women have".

Conversely however, the idea that social constructions are actually created consciously by people and can be changed on a whim is stupid and nonsensical for the same reason that a human being can't suddenly start liking chocolate if they don't like chocolate, or a human being can change finding the opposite sex attractive.

I don't get the violence criticism either tbqh. Yes, it's more violent than the average fiction novel, but writing a Western without including gratuitous violence was the problem with the Western genre to begin with. It was too romantic and saturated with politicized narrative.

That said, it's really no more violent than a thriller movie made today that has violence in it's narrative.

I mean, think about it, even the scene in the first LotR movie where Aragorn fights the Uruk-Hai leader, is probably actually close to how brutal medieval sword-fighting could be.
