The word is in entertainment a lot. Outside the context of slavery, it still triggers me. For example, I'm watching a show called Gyeongseong Creature, and characters keep saying "Master Jang." (A protagonist.) He's an ultra rich guy who owns a pawn shop. He's constantly acknowledged as if he's an authority figure. I don't have enough context about Korean culture to understand when and why people get the label "Master." It just sucks to hear.
It would help if hearing "master" and observing severe sucking up didn't feel so visceral.
That's an idea. But I have to face the slavery version of the word master being said, or else I'll remain too sensitive. Idk how to turn that into a non-gross sounding mix.
