Honestly it's not even that. The guy explicitly says slavery is used as a punishment for bad slave owners, or for people facing execution, or POW. Did those people consent to be enslaved? Is it consent if the alternative is death?
They really did put the defense of slavery in the mouth of someone wearing cornrows.
"Slavery is mutually beneficial", "criticism of slavery betrays a shallow understanding of it", "a slave contract is something formed with mutual consent" - wait did you not just explicitly say death row...
Honestly the whole "genuine" vs "ecchi" conversation reminds me far too much of the HSST-vs-AGP transfem ""distinction"". Sure there's authors for whom it's purely transformation fantasy, but even then. I know Contrapoints, a fully-transitioned trans woman, got her start in messing with gender...
I think it really speaks to Myne's development that when told she'll have to choose between delaying her ambition and spending more time with her family, she's choosing her family. Absolutely would not have expected her to do that, in the beginning. She's really come to view the people around...
Here's to hoping they keep that energy. Not enough stories resolve their love-triangle problems into the Most Stable Shape. Yeah Kerori isn't into it, but then she's not actually into Iruma, and just wants to tease/bait Gyari. The soulmates trio however....
Take your time. (I shall not break the prime directive to make egg jokes, I shall not break the prime directive to make egg jokes I shall not break the prime directive to make egg jokes)
I mean we knew from the introduction of magic that she's not just Miranda's chambermaid but also her guard. And I'd be shocked if someone who is very precise with her magic, who's good enough to be the last thing standing between the baby daughter of a duke and whatever wishes her harm, wasn't...
Many trans folks stay in the closet because their environment is not accepting. If you knew that being authentic could get you fired, disowned, ostracized, would you risk it?
Some trans women like women.
For men who genuinely have the wish to become a woman, I have news for you, most men...
I really wish they explored this more. Or at least addressed the implications of not exploring this. If a guy being transformed into a girl automatically starts going by a feminine name and she/her pronouns, does that mean trans folks are automatically accepted when they transition...
Yeah they really have to put the 'let's all eat Falin' plan reveal in this season, not in the next one. It's such a batshit idea, while still somehow being better than not having a plan at all. I think it improves the retention if people aren't left to wonder how the party plans to handle the...
Tall guy? Does not need to lose weight. Just from looking at him he is in no way overweight, his BMI (notorious for not differentiating between muscle mass and fat) would be a very healthy 19.5. He does not need to lose weight.
And sweating wouldn't help him lose weight either? Yeah you can...
No, but on a re-read/different version read through new things jump out. I've had my time to adjust to how I feel about the previous emperor, women being sold into sex work, physical or chemical castration - and the implications that the current emperor's outlawing of the practice has on the...
