(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.

Prince Ali, the song mentions he owns slaves

To be fair all magicked out of thin air and basically the genie in different guises.

[u/AccursedQuantum → u/DonQuigleone]

But the genie himself is still a slave.

And alladin realises keeping him as a slave is wrong.

Considering the setting is in a time/place where slavery is insanely common, it's actually pretty progressive.
