Comment by Rottengirl26 on I LOVE FEMBOYS

@I LOVE FEMBOYS I feel like you're also missing the point. Unlike this series, Alien stage is purely fictional. Certain things happening in it can be applied to real life instances but in no way has it ever romanticized the whole owner x slave trope. Certain topics need a lot of research and you have to be extremely mindful about how you portray them in your series which the author failed to do so. It's not hard to see why the first chapter rubbed people the wrong way. It's not about why you can't talk about certain topics, it's about how you depict such topics. Slavery itself is an extremely sensitive topic, so to make a whole manhwa between an owner and their slave is offensive in many levels.

@Rottengirl26 I see what you're saying, but Alien Stage also features extreme themes like human trafficking, cages, and execution collars, and people accept it because it's understood to be purely fictional. My point is that it is incredibly hard to judge how an author handles a dark or sensitive theme based entirely on the first chapter. You are claiming the author failed to research or is romanticizing a dynamic, but we haven't even seen the plot develop yet. A first chapter sets up a dark conflict; it doesn't mean it's endorsing it in real life. I just think it's fair to see where the narrative actually goes before deciding exactly how the author intended to handle it.
