I’m speaking generally here; I’ve come across various yaoi, BL, and other titles—even those outside these genres—that contain historical inaccuracies. In some of the M/M stories, one of the characters had dark skin, yet no one complained about it. Now, I don’t know if that was back before political correctness took hold, or if it was just the hormones making people overlook everything else.
Dude I never bump in a bl with REAL HISTORICAL SLAVERY and the real historical inaccurate bl are from their own time period. This was FOREIGN AUTHOR who don't know about this time period. She even admit herself.
Also want more you want from her?! This must be the most humiliating thing ever happened to her and fact her racist fans want her back, is not helping!
If I were her I will retire immediately, so if you want you precious Under the Greenlight side story. You better accept her defeat
I’m female—I’m not sure if "dude" works for both genders (I’m not a native English speaker, which is why I use Google Translate). Anyway, before this story, I didn’t know who the author was. I defend her because she never intended to write anything racist—at least from my perspective. From my POV, I gathered that she just wanted to show the character's personality, and the slavery aspect was merely a reference or something similar. Of course, including that sentence in the introduction wasn't a smart move; calling people racist when they aren't is not a good thing. The fact that a white person saving or freeing slaves is labeled as racism (based on comments I've seen) shows that the author isn't the only one who hasn't done their homework. One last thing: there are plenty of works full of historical inaccuracies—intentional or otherwise—like Tarantino's movies.
Even if Django is historical accurate or not. It's still understand the horrendous atrocities of Black Slavery
Heck The Hateful Eight black guy was wrong but it doesn't mean we don't understand why his like that. The fact you don't understand we don't excuse them they just hate each other, Highlights you understand how Media Literacy work
Also are you new to criticism? Because we been criticizing this medias for years, in fact the White Savior Trope was invented because of Media Literacy
And main reason we still have issues of inaccuracies was years of Propaganda and The Jim Crow era that still effect to this day. (As well the atrocities of crime we did to the majority is included)
Also I called people Dude as neutral gender greeting, I even used Pal the same way. Do you want me dox you, so that I can treat you probably because I don't want that???
Okay I am going to make an assumption based on you saying that you’re not a native English speaker that you’re not from America or anywhere near it, and so you potentially may not understand or know a lot about Americas history, especially when it comes to slavery and its treatment of native Americans (if I am wrong I am genuinely sorry). But I really need you to understand just how violent and disgusting these practices were, and how they still impact the USA as we know it today. Native American children were forcibly taken from their parents and forced into boarding schools where they weren’t allowed to learn their own languages or names or histories, and were pretty much forever separated from their families. Their land was taken off them and their food source the Bison was specifically hunted down so that they would starve and their population would dwindle. African Americans were slaves and were subjected to every form of abuse possible for literal generations. It is cruel and it is violent and it is horrible, and like I said earlier the effects of this are still seen today. And so when you have an author come in and decide to write a story based on this, with no clear background knowledge of this time period and its atrocities, and present us a romance between a white man who FOUGHT in the civil war (and by the way absolutely no one said white people didn’t help free slaves, but we can see within this story that it isn’t the suffering of the slaves that is going to take presedence it’s the suffering of the white man) and a Native American who says he’s going to be his ‘slave’, I’m sure you can understand how jarring it can be. Media will always have historical inaccuracies, but this isn’t an inaccuracy, it’s just wiping away generations of suffering so the author can write some cowboy story that they clearly haven’t researched enough to actually do, so yes people have every right to be mad

Once and for all: it is NOT a romantic story between a master and a slave. It was a love story between cowboys. Unfortunately, the author chose poor wording for the provocative dynamic between the couple. There was never any intention to romanticize something so horrible and non-consensual.
