have an rss feed set to /r/manga to keep up with serials that I can’t use other feeds to track and, unironically about every couple months or so, there’s a new entry in the set I like to call slaveslop, in which the protagonist (usually faceless):
- buys a slave
- bonus if they’re a fantasy race (subtle)
- gives them a glow-up
- treats them like either their child or their spouse
- bonus if they are never even offered emancipation???
like I’ve seen so many of these when I was still actively browsing reddit, and even now that its just the feed I can still see they’re still being pumped out from the slop factory. is this the pure id of the weeb? i know isekai is also dogshit for slavery apologia but this seems to be cutting the fanfare and serving it as the main course.
what’s the deal mack 
Isn’t it just a product of most isekai sucking ass and being marketed specifically at shitty people? Seems like more than half that genre is making the main character a former (in a past life) pedo-chronic masturbator-loser-creep to make the character more relatable (?) to the apparently loathsome audience most of the shows are seemingly intended for.
