Question for the "fiction doesn't affect reality" folks

What's your take on author Jaxx apologizing and cancelling their work after getting called out for romanticizing slavery in their story? How do you feel about the backlash? Was it deserved?
Or would you still say the readers just couldn't separate fiction from reality, like you do with romanticized rape? I dare you to say the same thing here.

I'm not interested in hearing from people who already agree that both slavery and rape are harmful subjects to romanticize. I'm asking those who defend one but condemn the other or defend both, because I'd like to understand whether there's a consistent principle behind that stance or if it's selective outrage.

Will there ever come a day when rape BLs are actually tagged as horror, and the authors kill the rapist instead of redeeming them and making them end up with their victims?

Also, please refrain from using the overused pseudo intellectual take that "victims use rapeslop as a coping mechanism, so it's alright."
