Train Enthusiast Corrects Erotic Fiction

based train appreciator AITA for pointing out the historical inaccuracies of my girlfriend's erotic writing? My (23M) girlfriend (20F) let me use her old computer while mine is broken and I found an old archive written by her when she was 16. It is a long story about a maid in the antebellum south that has a romantic affair with the man of the house. It is not as overtly sexual as you may be thinking. It has sex, mostly towards the ending, but it is mainly romantic and very emotional. The maid is clearly meant to be a version of my girlfriend. Everything was fine for me until the part when they arrived to a train station. The maid wanted to leave because she couldn't bear for their romance to be hidden anymore. The man was following her to try to convince her to stay. The issue is that I found the general representation of the station (and, later in the story, the trains themselves) to be full of anachronisms. I am a train enthusiast and know a lot about the history of rail transportation in the United States. So, I talked to my girlfriend about it but she got upset. She has been saying I shouldn't have read the story because it was a personal thing from when she was a teenager. She is also mad my reaction was something as "superficial" as the level of train accuracy. Am I the Asshole?

A screenshot of a satirical AITA post shows a train enthusiast criticizing his girlfriend’s teenage erotic story because the train station and trains contain historical inaccuracies. The joke is that he treats the emotional and sexual content as secondary and focuses obsessively on railway accuracy, making him comically insensitive. It is sent as a reaction to someone prioritizing an absurdly specific hobby over the obvious main issue.
