If you're unable to recognize that an author writing 'i am your humble slave, master' during a time when enslaved people faced being tortured, sexually abused, and were psychologically tormented is racist... nobody cant help you.
I implore people to look at first hand accounts & images of the atrocities committed.

I honestly cant definitively say where the story is going but the lack of care given to such an important topic is telling me... its not gonna be good
