This story seemed like it had a lot of potential. the art is great and the plot is... unique? from what i've read, it honestly does not look like was going to make a mockery out of anyone. after being freed, it didn't seem like the slaves would appear in the story again. I'm not sure what the deal is with the cowhand but from what i could deduce, he is not a slave (i think the author would know not to do that much). It would've been better if the relationship was with the ex master and some random cowboy with no ties to the farm, etc.
Are people angry that its a korean person writing about american history or are they angry that the author used a real life reference in their work - would people have enjoyed this story more if this was set in a made up made up country with a war that didn't happen in real life?
Are people upset at the mere mention of slaves/slavery or they upset because the story features black/african american slaves who are very much real people?
Are people mad that its a BL?
Ive read historical BLs with controversial topics about certain groups of people that the author has no ties to, and they were written in a meaningful way that showed a lot of care and research was put into them. I think JAXX was more than capable of producing the same result, but hey - i guess we'll never know.
Im not saying that this story should be free of criticism, i just wish that i got to see how it would've play out
also don't come on here insulting or cursing at me like that one rabid dog in the comment section lmao
oooh i just read the apology, maybe it was in the authors best interest to nip it in the bud. They said themselves that they weren't capable of producing a that tackled the themes delicately and with nuance. oh well...
