Why Slavery????
What is with the slavery kick in some fandoms? It seems incredibly insensitive type of story for those from abusive backgrounds or from different ethnicities. There is really nothing sexy about slavery. It is dehumanizing and degrading. It is putting a person on the basest level of humanity. Slaves can be abused, raped, murdered, killed, beaten, starved, whatever the owner decides because historical the slave is not a person. He is simply a piece of property, a commodity. You have to really hate and detest a character in a story to make them a slave. You are saying the character has no worth to you. Keeping your dignity is the one thing that keeps us above the animals. Research slavery and its a very terrible picture. Always soceity keeps some class of people at a lower level of humanity. I wished fan fiction didnt perpetuate this horrid situation. Sometimes I think people that write and request such stuff should spend time at domestic violence shelters, mental health units and see the reality of dehumanization. It won't happen though and I guess its just riding it out. Sorry, I know too many abused people to revel in the breaking of another human, even a fictional one.
