I agree with u so much tbf it's just peoples lack of understanding and reading comprehension that doesn't allow them to physically think that "oh wait He set them free AND gave them money HIS REMAINING MONEY" he basically freed the slaves and settled them for a lifetime and like u said the top is cocky and he INTENTIONALLY mentioned it people are so insensitive these days, and to whoever may comment after me saying I'm just justifying racism, how? Enlighten me please bc where did I mention the fact that he was racist?
your blaming this on illiteracy, when it does not matter the author who is not black american or even AMERICAN. emphasis on american is going around making a historical fiction based on a time where black people were getting lynched in response to the civil war and the union winning. it is rightfully so that people are getting mad specifically BLACK PEOPLE emphasis on that are angry at this lazy depiction of a REAL HISTORY that happebed in this country (america) and i know for a fact your not black. anyways, it is cultural insensitive to make a story that ur not culturally from. second, it is romantizing the colonizer x colonized or slave master x slave when you place it on a genre such as bl where bl is used as a fantasy for readers. When in fact such a history that is serious like the civil war/ and beyond it like the jim crow era and the genocide of native americans comes off as disingenuous and disrespectful. If you are not black please do not tell us how to feel.
another matter is the fact this will be BL SMUT and the background history and plot surrounding it is during the civil war union vs the confederacy. when u make a smut depicting something so serious and real and that STILL EFFECT PEOPLE TO THIS DAY it comes off as unpleasant and weird. hope this helps since you r out here calling illiterate for thinking this bl is racist.
mannn who tf told you I am not black what the hell lmfao. What kind of assumption is that. Do you want my passport or smth ur so weird.
1. It is not culturally insensitive to write about another culture. If the author has an understanding of the culture and they write a good story then what's the problem??
2. The mc isn't a slave owner??? He has no desire to own the ranch, he is literally trying to sell it and he told his slaves to go. Is this particularly realistic? Not as such, and I'll give you that. But we cannot rule out that things like that never happened, and it is clear that he does not align himself with slavery.
3. I agree that this can easily come off as cheap and disingenuous, but there has literally been ONE chapter. You have no clue how the author will explore these themes of racism and persecution. A story can still have value even if it is written from the MCs ignorant perspective because it expands on the historical contexts. Stories do not have to be the epitome of morals to be good. Holy shit get a grip pls
I did not say that though!! I said that people are misunderstanding some stuff because they lack MEDIA literacy. Not because they are illiterate omg. People are out here conveying their critiques PROPERLY and you are spouting off all hot-headed on a mawha you are reading illegally bro ur weird. Stories can be written around serious topics. There are manhwa that focus on kidnapping, drug trafficking, rape etc. Are they all good? Fuck no. Many can be fetishistic and ignorant. But many are wonderful because they focus on revealing the true contexts of these issues while showing the intrapersonal relationships between characters. You didn't really read my comment too well and it shows. I am not against you at all I'm js saying give the manhwa time. If its ass still after like 10-20 chapters then light it tf up. But for now let the author introduce the contexts and themes.
They lowk proved my point about "not reading" so that's why I ain't arguing bc they literally JUST proved it
A whole lot of ppl are js mad and they have no clue why. Like there's dozens of valid criticisms to be said but they're js yelling in ppls face like ITS RACIST ITS RACIST like fucks sake calm down. It's like no one wants to actually have a discussion anymore evb js wants to start chasing ppl with pitchforks lmfao.
im not reading bs made by someone who doesn’t understand the history of this country aka america specifically black and indigenous history. dont get mad at people who dont wanna read blatant racist shit
I spent abt 20 weeks doing a course on American history. I did abt 9 hours worth of exams on American History. I completed 2 40 page assignments on American history. You can't base your arguments on petty assumptions, it makes you look rlly dumb I'm sorry.
I think a lot of commenters lack the ability to read controversial topics without thinking that the author aligns themselves with the controversial viewpoint. I'll js go over some stuff that people are not understanding:
1. That guy calls himself a humble slave because it is clearly sarcasm. He has a cocky personality; he rides in on a horse, makes a ruckus, calls the farm his own and calls himself a humble slave. It is supposed to be jarring and in your face, thats just his PERSONALITY.
2. People are saying that this will follow the white saviour trope, but how do you know that? Yea, sure, it's a very prominent trope, but if we are looking at the history of this specific event, white racist Americans fought slightly less racist Americans to advocate for human rights. The white people WERE the "saviours".
3. That guy isn't a confederate. Seen a few people saying that this is the equivalent of a story between a nazi and a jew or a japanese soldier and a comfort woman, but it fundamentally isn't because he is not a confederate. Am I saying his family was not racist, No! They still had only coloured workers, but that in general was common during this era due to sharecropping.
Pls stop arguing like this in the comments, so many of you jump the gun to assume racism and it cheapens the argument other people have when pointing out real racism. Let at least 10 chapters release before we make these racist accusations. I have seen some valid arguments, and I understand where quite a few people are coming from, but the yelling and insulting is js childish and ineffective. And most of all remember you are pirating this, the author does not recieve your support. Whether we read it or not, the author does not earn a penny, nickel or dime. There are worse things to read.
