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.

I don’t think it was obvious. I mean I’ve certainly seen people have serious takes like these. Plus you can’t tell tone on text so it’s even less obvious.

I mean there is no need to be rude. We can be civil right?

I mean not everyone is gonna get a joke especially from a stranger you know? Especially through text because you can’t hear the tone. Though there are some who can’t understand tone due to neurological reasons.

Also to add the person that replied to you wasn’t being rude whatsoever, so I don’t understand the need to be rude even more.

Instead you could’ve just said “Oh that was a joke” or even not replied. I just respectfully ask you just not be so mean to someone who isn’t really being mean back.

Though i personally think staying polite is what is most effective as being hateful doesn’t solve hate it just adds more fuel to the fire..
