Comment by gaymensslut on Song of the Wasteland - Chapter 1

I'd say this again. Ofc ppl were going to post abt it. where was this energy for the countless manhwas that include grape, king peasant dynamics, master servant relationships, kidnapping, manipulation, and ab*se? Most of ppl had no problem consuming those bcs the characters were hot and sum sexualize them. No one is supporting sl*very. The story is litr set in the 1800s. Did you expect the author to erase history jus to avoid making ppl uncomfortable? A historical setting isnt an endorsement of everything that existed at the time. And why are some of y'll so obsessed with jumping straight to "racism"? Is it necessary that every story depicting historical racism is automatically supporting it? No. If the author had pretended slavery didn't exist in that time period, that would've been historically dishonest. You didn't even give the author a chance to let the story unfold. The author acknowledged slavery as part of the setting and Gerald freed the enslaved ppl as soon as he took over the ranch. You admit the author is respectful and thoughtful yet you judged the story before it had the chance to develop let alone thinking abt the efforts in their work. If you're gonna criticize problematic themes then be consistent. Don't single out one story while giving every other toxic trope a free pass jus bcs the characters are hot. Like zhenya and jk. And if you speak for author suddenly your new bl reader. 🫩
