@esryzc Actually the problem was that the story was based around the civil war where the white guy was in the civil war, was portrayed as the 'good ones', he owned slaves and had to let them go. So ig the other ml was supposed to be his "comfort" slave. Which is WEIRD . People got offended because racism & slavery is not a issue to be romanticised or taken lightly(plus it was not fiction). Jaxx herself admitted that she had not done a full understanding of what she was writing and should have been more careful. Also ppl need to stop raising one issue just to push the other down. R*E AND RACISM both ARE WRONG. slavery was a major act of cruelty & oppression, the trope is the same as writing a romance between a jewish and a n*i soldier. Just because it didn't have a major impact on you or your ancestors doesn't mean that others are "idiots or snowflakes " to find this story insensitive and disrespectful.
