Never forget, language is one of war's most effective weapons. Watch how Israeli media describes Palestinian people, listen to the words they use. "Beasts", "vermin" and "cancer"; all things that threaten order and need to be stamped out or controlled. The same language can be found in racial genocide after racial genocide. The Rwandan Massacre, The Holocaust, The Armenian Genocide, a pattern throughout history. Recognise it and call it out. Don't let them pull the wool over your eyes.

god bless i love seeing comments like this proving that media literacy isn’t dead
The title is so off-putting. There's a weird trend of comparing darker skinned characters to animals in manga and this one falls into the same pitfall. Captive "beast"??? It's one thing for the characters in-story to be racist cause, yeah, but the inclusion in the title just feels a bit icky and it becomes more than just an insult towards the ML, as it's now his primary identifier.
And before anyone tries to rip me off my soapbox for being too woke, this is exactly the kind of dehumanising language Europeans used to describe my people to make themselves more comfortable while they committed their crimes, I feel like I can comment on it.
