does historical fictional work need to be accurate?? plenty of movies out there depict slavery and don’t follow accurate events, what are u so offended abt??
The fact slavery and the trauma and genocide of black people is use as a backdrop for a racist master x slave smut story.
Yes??? This is such a dumb question yes historical fiction should be accurate because it’s based on real events that harmed real people
Are you stupid????
at least in most historical fiction there’s an ounce of historical accuracy and usually the person making the fiction has an understanding of the history to know what and what not to do, this is just a blatant disregard of that history and a poor attempt at a bl story, someone else on here said this was poorly executed and i agree if the author was going for the western/southern vibe they could’ve went a similar route as Dead or Alive or a different western trope, knowing most bls had this story continued it most likely wouldn’t even regard the actual history (which is important in historical fiction) of slavery and instead be your run of the mill bl (MOST LIKELY)
rereading this and realizing i’m actually being too nice TY EVERYONE REPLYING TO THIS PERSON
u said in a reply earlier that u think rape and masterXslave trope r both bad but here u r defending it and being over insensitive abt it?
no bc that account has actually been saying some insane nonsense here but know that even if your explanation doesn’t work out with that account, it was a really good one explaining the issues about the story. you can’t slap the “fiction” label on anything and think you can get away with some extremely insensitive issues that still affect people in the current day
How dumb you gotta be to not bd able to understand the consequences of referencing history about oppression and then reducing it to yaoi
who approved this genuinely? it had to go through someone to even have the first chapter posted was everyone on jaxx team seriously on board with this??? it’s tone deaf and disrespectful it ignores so much serious and important American history, boiling it down to the “passionate worker/slave” and the “war torn veteran” like what??? any ounce of knowledge abt the history of slavery in america is enough to see the problem with this, stay out of american history dear jaxx pls and ty
