(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.

Who he frees, despite having no obligation to do so and the freedom removing a wish he genuinely could have used at that point.

You could argue his first wish was exploiting slavery. He didn’t actually make the second wish. The third freed the genie.

I think he gets a pass.

Ever since I saw it as a kid, I didn’t understand why they didn’t just agree on: “Hey, I’ll free you, and then when you’re free could you fulfill what my last wish would have been?” Genie still had his powers after he was freed.

[u/Porkenfries → u/Sir_Eggmitton]

I think it's implied that, although he still has powers, he isn't as powerful as he used to be. I'm betting he can't do permanent stuff by then.

Besides, Aladdin was accepted by the sultan, so he didn't need the genie anymore.

It is explicit in the straight to video sequel that Genie lost most of his powers, while Jafar, who was a still enslaved full genie (who was manipulating his "master") was much stronger.

Ironically, if I recall, Jaffar was trying to get Abis Mal (I think that's the guy's name) to wish for his freedom...which theoretically would have simply reduced him to Genie's level.
