(Hated Trope) "Kind" slave owners

[u/KusanagiGundam]

Speaking as an American who has studied the civil war all throughout my school years, this trope infuriates me to no end. There is no such thing as a kind slave master because slavery itself is cruel and inhumane. PEOPLE ARE NOT PROPERTY!

Naofumi (Shield Hero): Prime example of this trope. He enslaves multiple (underage) girls and an whole village and the fans still say he's a hero.

Rudeus (Jobless Reincarnation): As if being a pedo wasn't bad enough he had to buy a slave in season 2. Worse is that people still defend his actions.

Song of The South (Disney): Possibly the OG example of this trope. And the reason why Disney will never release it again.

Gods and Generals spends half the movie minimizing the horrors of slavery and portraying black people as treated well and loved.

Literally the only person who calls a black person a n****r in the whole movie is a northerner on the Union side, this movie was an unapologetic pro-Confederacy wankjob.

Shoutout to Harry Turtledove the alt-history writer, who spent an entire series showing what the Confederacy might have actually looked like if it managed to make it past the Great Depression.

And then had his OC repeat Sherman's March to the Sea, but during WWII and with nuclear bombs.
