@lucrecia This is bollocks. There is absolutely no reason why i should see, or read about, a person doing an obviously fucked up thing, and not think "Man, this is one fucked up person". You say that's a mere self congratulatory exercise, but it's not really so. First, because people in the...

@Ovnidemon Those are interesting questions, but is not what we are discussing at all. it's not really comparable. Because those are complex questions, with nuance. There is no nuance at all with slavery. Slavery is always abuse. It's never ok. If a society excuses or embraces slavery, that...

Well, they were scum. Of course they thought they weren't, but they were wrong. And what about the slaves themselves? You think they didn't thought that their slavers where abusing them? You think they didn't hated them? You think they didn't saw their masters as evil? Why makes the voice of...

@Binary10011 Yeah, she got degraded to normal prostitute after her value fell, so the granny forced her to take costumers. She died in the original WN - in the light novel and the manga she got sifilis, but is still alive. She sent the pinkie to spite him, not as a mark or love - Or maybe she...

@simplechild Oh please. Well, first, your are right they aren't, techically, slaves. They are in debt bondage, and there are significant differences between that and slaves. But that said... pretending that those girls are free, or that they choose to get their livehood by working as...

It really amazes me that some people are acting as if this is some complex, gray moral issue Slavery is evil. Using debt bondage to force women (that you bought when they where kids) into prostitution is really fucking evil. There is really not a lot of nuance here. But let's look to a recent...

@artemi >As we have the topic of slavers here: Let's say you're the son of a slave owner, the father dies and you inherit those slaves. With some wonder you have a modern conscience, evolved completely independently of all values around you. What would you do now? Release the slaves, ruining...

The very fact that slaver cultures alineated their victims from society and tried to silence their voices is all the more reason to try to recover and listen to them.

"is that, you cannot be evil for doing x, if the society in that time and place does not deem it to be evil." This is exactly the same that saying "You are right as long as nobody stops you" -> it's pure, unadultered might makes right.

@Kuntatooooo Ok so Those two had sex (Mao Mao mother incited it to lower her own price so he could afford to buy her -> that's more clear in the novel than here) Then before he could buy her, he got sent in a military expedition for several years. While he was out, Mao Mao was born, and her...

@Scrwd "You cannot be evil when your actions during your time and place were not considered evil." Lol what By that logic caribbean plantation owners weren't evil, no matter how many slaves they worked to death. Exploitation is exploitation no matter the era. Like i don't think it should be...

Of course, Granny isn't the only people at fault here - It would be easy to blame her first and foremost, given that she is the most direct beneficiary of the exploitation, but obviously all of the society is at fault, since they allow it.

@Scrwd Protecting the girls? More like protecting the investment. The moment Mao Mao mother stopped being valuable, she become second class merchandise and got treated as such. "As for whether it was "evil" or not, we can never be the judge of that. The measure for evil changes over time and...

@Randomndude01 "All of those girls can leave whenever they want" That's a good joke. The way those places work, they buy the girls from their parents at a pittance, then riddle them with debt by charging them with everything - food and lodging and clothes. This is a good moment to remind that...

@nep "The granny was at fault for nothing." The granny is the owner of the brothel and of the girls (that are essentially her slaves). She is rich from exploiting them. (Not only Mao Mao mother but the whole lot). She is pretty fucking evil no matter how you look at it. The fact that what...

Thanks for the chapter! I just binged this, it's pretty great honestly.

Damn

@SuperOniichan I know, it was a joke
