And don't get it twisted—I'm not saying slavery was okay or that it wasn't a serious issue. It was a horrific part of history, and there's no denying that. My point is that many of the same people who are acting outraged over this continue to consume stories with equally disturbing, or even worse, themes without saying a word.
At this point, I'd even argue that most of the people leading these arguments are white anyway.
See the problem is you’re making an assumption that people are supporting other problematic trop while you got no idea, obv there fs people doing that but I’m sure you don’t necessarily have names, and btw this isn’t the right place to be starting complaining about other trop
And btw being white has lit nothing to with it so you’re just spewing any possible hate that you think will be acceptable
This actually made me laugh out loud. There have been plenty of discourse online with people complaining about stories like Jinx and Pearl Boy because of how they treat characters and the abuse they suffer.
There also are rarely any stories (BL wise at least) that have an actual Black male lead that isn't "tan," so I don't understand what your second argument was about. How can anybody complain about something that doesn't even really exist?
Your arguments are weak and surface level. This story didn't just "touch on slavery" it was going to be a romantic and eventually sexual one, with a slave x slave master dynamic about a real time in history where people were bought, sold and treated like cattle. If you can't see how messed up and weird it is to make a romance story about that, then I don't know what to tell you girl.
Omg out of context but I love the way you’re respectfully calling them off and making proper sense I’ve seen a lot of your replies and all of them are neatly saying what’s problematic
American slavery is miles worse than any sa, physical abuse, or whatever bullshit. It’s like making a yaoi of the holocaust with a nazi x Jewish victim
Fact is they went thru that kinda of stuff to like???
That and worse, they see sa, tortured, eaten. Mf some people made furniture out of slaves and this lasted hundreds of years
Wait I’m confused wasn’t this in the ww2 making furniture… or it n-zi just recreated what the colonizers did cuz if they did that’s one more disgusting thing on the list
Yeah no that’s Chattel slavery for you, blacks slaves were treated worse than farm animals in some cases
Ohhh Okok thank you but yeah no ik slaves had legit less rights than a random bird
Thank you diva, ignorance and stupidity is the fastest way to get me fired up and as you can see, there's a lot in this whole comment section. I try my best to be respectful but it's difficult lmao.
I've seen your replies too and I appreciate you trying to get people to understand why this was problematic! Hope both sides of your pillow are cold tonight (^з^)-☆
AYY thanks same with me dumb people saying random thing to defend their racist bl are just mad annoying and I hope both sides of your pillow are cold too (▰˘◡˘▰)
I don't know anything about this, I kind of know why it got cancelled but still you should not compare one crime to another, both are equally bad. Be it slavery or SA. There is "no" miles worse, a crime is a crime until done in self defence. In this case both crimes can't be committed in self defence so both are equally bad.
My two cents on sensitisation, people.
I genuinely don't understand what people want anymore. They cancel a series because the author touches on the topic of slavery, yet those same people who complain still read and enjoy manhwas where the main character is literally sexually abused by the male lead, where there's physical and psychological abuse, and even incest, yet they still end up together like nothing ever happened. Those stories are objectively far more disturbing, but somehow nobody seems to have a problem with them. (A perfect example is Pearl Boy)
I also find it incredibly hypocritical that people only get offended when the story is set in their own country or deals with something related to their own culture. But if it happens somewhere else or affects a different group of people, they couldn't give less of a damn.
And don't even get me started on the racism discourse. People complain about representation, but if a Black male lead is drawn with features that don't fit their beauty standards, they immediately demand that his design be changed because "he shouldn't look like that." It's like they only support diversity as long as it still fits their own idea of what's attractive.
I seriously don't understand these people.
