We live in a time where it has become completely acceptable to change history, in order to fit an ideologically motivated narrative. Suddenly there were 50% legionaries of color serving in the roman army, suddenly women were awesome fighters that were regularly fighting in wars, every bit as capable as men, and suddenly the barbarian invaders of Rome were just poor refugees that peacefully settled within the Roman empire. And another such wishful thinking is that the dark ages were actually a quite nice time. Well, we have hard archeological evidence how drastically the living standards and technology declined in Britian, when the Roman legions left the island in 407 AD. Trade collapsed, technology vanished, and people were living again in conditions comparable to the bronze age. Diseases were rampant, barbarian raids killed many, and the Romano-Britons were driven to extinction by the Anglo-Saxons. We also have good first hand accounts that show that the collapse of the Roman Empire must have been like the apocalpyse. Such as the Life of Saint Severin by Eugippius, where we can read how the early dark ages must have been. Constant barbarian attacks, many people killed every day, degradation of living conditions, constant war, famine and diseases. But I guess, it's just nicer these days to believe what you want to believe.
