have an rss feed set to /r/manga to keep up with serials that I can't use other feeds to track and, unironically about every couple months or so, there's a new entry in the set I like to call slaveslop, in which the protagonist (usually faceless):
- buys a slave
- bonus if they're a fantasy race (subtle)
- gives them a glow-up
- treats them like either their child or their spouse
- bonus if they are never even offered emancipation???
like I've seen so many of these when I was still actively browsing reddit, and even now that its just the feed I can still see they're still being pumped out from the slop factory. is this the pure id of the weeb? i know isekai is also dogshit for slavery apologia but this seems to be cutting the fanfare and serving it as the main course.
what's the deal mack
I blame Harry Potter: "Master has given Dobby a sock!"
It made slavery cool for liberals to enjoy again, just so long as they were treated nicely by the end.
I think it goes deeper than that. Slavery is the beating heart of liberalism.
