@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.

@I LOVE FEMBOYS I do admit it's only the first chapter we can't judge too much, but the author should've expected the concerns the last panel specifically would have. I'm not even African American, just a poc but even that panel made me upset. And I wouldn't be too surprised if you were a European or white American defending this but to be a south Indian defending this feels wrong. I think the author should've released 5 chapters or more so people could see how exactly the story would go but there isn't any way you can defend the owner x slave trope whatsoever. And the wording on the last panel like I said, was really iffy. I don't think jaxx is completely a bad person, I'm sure they didn't mean much harm, but you can't deny their ignorance. Jaxx, themselves admitted to their mistakes and completely acknowledged the fact that they didn't do enough research on this.
