Comment by Yuki on inhuman

@inhuman Your talking about modern times, I'm talking about the medieval style Periods like Weiss is in right now (though his has magic in it). Your thinking of when it's times of peace and I'm talking of times when it is not peaceful or stable, there's a lot wrong with weiss's world and in a time with no support system for the common people who don't have the money to feed everyone (nor does everyone have a way to protect themselves against monster attacks) they create that isn't a completely useless choice to become a slave to feed not only yourself but save someone in your own family from death or starvation and don't forget in his world there's a possibility to work that off and Free yourself if you have a good "owner". Now you're not thinking at all about extreme situations or extreme choices you're only talking about it like a fortunate person who never had to make a difficult choice, I get it your not that orphan that can't feed themselves and you're definitely not that poor Farmer's child who has to do something extreme to survive... Your just a modern person with an overly heroic opinion that doesn't fit the situation that's being talked about. So if you're not actually listening to the scenario properly you only sound like a deaf,blind fool. I'm talking in the comment above about a situation where it would actually be necessary for survival to place yourself in slavery and those two choices you proposed above were never part of it. If you want to rant take it up with someone who actually said something wrong instead of a neutral opinion and a unreasonable scenario like I proposed.

@Yuki First, don’t assume you know anything about my life or what I may or may not have faced. Comments like “you’ve never had to face that kind of hardship” say more about your need to dismiss opposing views than about reality. You don’t get to judge people you don’t know in order to strengthen your argument.

Second, people don’t need monsters to live in fear. History — and the present — shows that human predators are more than enough. Exploitation, violence, and abuse flourish wherever misery exists, because there will always be scumbags ready to take advantage of the weak.

Saying this is a “medieval problem” also misses the point. The era doesn’t matter. Slavery isn’t a product of instability, magic, monsters, or lack of infrastructure — it’s a twisted system created and maintained by twisted people to strip others of freedom and dignity. The logic is always the same: bully the weak, fear the strong.

Romanticizing slavery as a “necessary choice” doesn’t make it less violent. Calling an owner “good” doesn’t change the core fact: one human being owns another. That alone is the problem. A system that relies on desperation to function is not pragmatic — it’s predatory.

And your argument is built almost entirely on “ifs”: if the owner is kind, if the person can eventually buy back their freedom, if things go well. Hypotheticals don’t prove anything. A system that only looks acceptable under ideal conditions isn’t neutral — it’s fundamentally flawed.

Finally, before accusing others of ranting, it would help to make the effort to structure your own thoughts clearly. A text that jumps everywhere and relies on personal assumptions doesn’t strengthen your position — it just makes it exhausting to read.
