I can accept slavery in an anime if the story is about the MC going John Brown.

Don’t forget the Elf slave named entirely after its race

Why people get so pissy about fictional concepts like it affects your real life values? 🤔
Since nobody has anything of value to say, I’ll explain: you were brought to perceive one concepts as fiction, but not others, which makes you piss your pants when you encounter something you are not immune to. Slavery as a fictional concept affects real life values as much as any others, aka none if you have functional intellectual facilities. You don’t like it because you are a little bitch who lost ability to separate reality and fiction, that’s all

I don’t have a problem with slavery being shown, especially in a medieval fantastic world. But characters that lived in modern times with modern education really shouldn’t be like “Yeah ok, I’ll do the same”, they should at least hesitate or find alternatives.

It’s cuz manga authors can relate.

Well a lot of anime settings are based on real world times where slavery was a wide spread concept. Vinland saga without the slavery would be historically inaccurate. Then you have the fantasy settings where it is a genre typical thing to have it. I’ve never read a fantasy book that did not have slavery in it. When it is portrayed as a daily thing for the characters I don’t see it as problematic because throughout history it wasn’t. When it’s portrayed as a good thing you can argue it’s problematic but I’ve never seen a hero in an anime being happy about it existing. The one that comes to mind is the rising of the shield hero where the hero buys a slave and is not that opposed to the concept. This is arguably a harmful use of the concept because slavery is not adequately discussed and the effect on it leaves on a person not addressed enough.

*Imagine how bizarre it would be if he had to tell the story of how he met his wife*
**Son:** Dad, How did you meet Mom?
**Isekai Dad:** Well, son, it all started when my old group betrayed me, so I bought a slave so that she would never abandon me. After so many moments where I put her in danger, I finally fell in love with her along with 5 other girls who were also slaves

Japanese authors are way too happy to have their “heroic” characters be rapey and slaveowners.

I honestly dont mind. Characters dont need to be 100% good guys for me to like them.
