(Hated Trope) "Kind" slave owners

[u/KusanagiGundam]

Speaking as an American who has studied the civil war all throughout my school years, this trope infuriates me to no end. There is no such thing as a kind slave master because slavery itself is cruel and inhumane. PEOPLE ARE NOT PROPERTY!

Naofumi (Shield Hero): Prime example of this trope. He enslaves multiple (underage) girls and an whole village and the fans still say he's a hero.

Rudeus (Jobless Reincarnation): As if being a pedo wasn't bad enough he had to buy a slave in season 2. Worse is that people still defend his actions.

Song of The South (Disney): Possibly the OG example of this trope. And the reason why Disney will never release it again.

Just cannon fodder for Iseakid John Brown

historical figure isekai truly is an untapped market

I think it’s because we can never truly know or recreate their personalities one-to-one, thus, it feels wrong to do so with them.

However… transporting people into the shoes of historical figures or occupations is a completely different matter.

With John Brown it is VERY easy "praise the lord the pass the ammunition, we're killing slavers today!"
