Probably what happens when we read anything from history nowadays.

Some people will look at the source critically. 'Was Suetonius trying to pander to the powers that be when writing about the Julio-Claudians?'

Some people will take it as gospel like people do with the whole 'CORSETS WERE EVIL!!!' discourse because they saw a few satirical pictures making fun of women tight lacing (which wasn't actually common btw).
