I don't get it – why T.F. almost every fantasy manga (Isekai sins the most in this case) portrays prostitution (!!!) like the most normal thing in the world?! bunny sticker
Are the authors high or do they not understand what it is?
This tendency to ruin such a fine worldbuilding annoys me to no end!!! bunny sticker
The attitude of these authors towards slavery I won't even mention! ...(cough)... Shield Hero... (cough)...

I completely understand if these unforgivable crimes against human beings (or any sentient being, for that matter) were only part of a setting and the protagonist would react adversely towards them...
But he (most of the time) or she (in fantasy) welcomes them as something good and useful!

Since when did sociopathy became a norm in fiction?

Boys, boys, relax! I completely understand your claims of "prostitution being an oldest job on the planet". I really do.
BUT! You are not on the service end, so you have no clue what this "job" actually is. And what it does to women.
And you can't know. You aren't women.
But imagine just for a second, that you are. And you're taking this "job". Would you still look at it as a "normal profession"? Would you feel on equal footing with a craftsman, a blacksmith, engineer, architect, doctor, teacher, academy professor? Would you be able to proudly say to your friends and/or family, that you're a prositute?
There's a reason why this "traditional profession" is an exploitation of human despair. Nobody choses prostitution for their curriculum out of free will.

in regards to prostitution, it's portrayed as normal because it's always been a thing. Even today. 

In regards to the slavery, might I recommend "His Soul Goes Marching On" aka the John Brown Isekai 

@Samsafea Prostitution is known as the "oldest job in the world" not without reason. 'Tis even mentioned multiple times in the the old testimant and other religious writings. no suprise at all that it is in any manga that goes near grown up concepts like death and reproduction.
@Samsafea it is the worlds oldest profession for a reason my guy. it is so foundational that during "Keith Chen's Yale experiment" where monkeys that were being taught the concept of currency and trade using snacks, the subject monkeys invented prostitution. disliking fundemental realities of humanity does not separate oneself from thier influence.
@Samsafea Then if you understand, why are you still complaining about it? If it's a medieval time related story, prostitution will appear on it, one way or another.
@Samsafea prostitution is normal, oldest job, not a new concept. No need to clutch your pearls and let it be part of the story.
@Samsafea ..... some women do the job because they feel that it empowers themselves.... and some just straight up like it... the most often seen depictions only really show the darker side of the profession... check your facts dude, I know this because my MIL once was one, and also ran a brothel as the Madam after she worked her way up the ladder, she's proud of it and told us herself
@Samsafea because it's written by japanese authors, even though illegal, prostitution is openly a part of their culture. most of them don't even consider sleeping with prostitutes as cheating. and like 18% of them actually allows their partners to do it.
