1. The author can be criticized for using a phrase that doesn't fit the historical period. It would have been fine if it had been in another era, but she realized it was wrong;
2. It's NOT a master for a slave, but a former rich white guy for a cowboy -> she clearly states in the introduction that he's a cowboy and in the chapter it says "my ranch." Which slave back then owned anything?
3. The white savior cliché -> not everyone was racist or slaveholders, it's appropriate to make the character that way. If they had both been non-white, how many would have complained? So it's fair to use him as a savior and make it clear that he's not like everyone else.

Can we make it clear that not everyone who defended the author is racist? I am NOT racist, and I don't appreciate being called one just for expressing my point of view—condemning that phrase while noting that it would have been fine in a different context, and that the intention here wasn't to romanticize a "master and slave" dynamic, but rather a "cowboy (or whatever role the white guy has) and cowboy" one. Before screaming that we're racist, please read the comments carefully; unfortunately, the place is full of trolls and people who write bullshit on purpose. And yes, I understand why people were offended.

A reply to Robin, since commenting isn't possible. The apology was genuine. She disabled comments because people were sending her death threats. Try putting yourself in her shoes: you post something and—unintentionally—find yourself in the middle of an online storm, with people going so far as to tell you to die or threatening to kill you. How would you react? Retaliating only makes things worse; shutting down comments was the only option.
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.

(I'm using Google Translate, reposting this because I can't find it in the comments.)
I'm not writing to offend or incite hatred, I just want to share my point of view.
1. Native with blue eyes -> he says it in the introduction because he has blue eyes: Ezra, a cowboy of mixed Native heritage;
2. White savior -> am I the only one who interpreted this scene to show what kind of person he was? Would you have preferred him to remain in the "master" role?
3. Drawing -> I can't say much, maybe it wasn't done on purpose or, as seen in various BLs, characters who appear infrequently are never seen clearly;
4. "I am your slave" -> an unfortunate statement given the historical period. Could he have used other words? Yes. In many BLs, the "I am your master, you are my slave" dynamic has become a thing, which is wrong from any perspective. Unless, of course, BOTH parties agree (and I'm referring to a certain CONSENSUAL RELATIONSHIP +18). In any case, I don't think there would have been any appropriate words to provoke the character. Furthermore, it's not necessarily true that he's a former slave, he just said that unfortunate phrase.
5. I did some research on the historical period, and it's true that despite the abolition of slavery, they remained less protected. For example, black cowboys (can you still use that word? -> my question is genuine, not sarcastic, because I've read around that it's considered racist to say "black person") always had to be subjected to white cowboys or the law.
6. The author apologized, so why continue to insult her? Did she write that on purpose? No. How many adaptations (in comics, books, on screen) take historical contexts and modify them?
My question is this: if he had just mentioned the part about him giving them money to live peacefully (rather than showing it), or if he had completely removed that part and only talked about the war, the family, and the sale of the ranch, ignoring a dark part of the historical period, would it have been okay? Or would it still have been disrespectful, "Why didn't he show what it was really like?"
