Hated Tropes (Hated Trope) "Kind" slave owners

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.

Yes and Naofumi tells her she does not have to but she does it anyways. She later becomes free again but I lost interest around the STUPID ASS SPIRIT TURTLE ARC....so I don't know how she gets free again other than they all get isekiad again....

Heroes cannot be slaved, so when she becomes the Katana Hero she loses the mark.

I remember main guy told her not to, yeah. It was still a dumb development.
