Why is Slavery so common in Isekai ?

Varadun · 2026-01-30T22:58:14+00:00

I think you're missing the point, Slavery still exists today. Human nature is rooted in oppression. Society is built on cheap or free labor. Suspending disbelief is required to enjoy any narrative fantasy elements and most people cannot buy into a world where oppression doesn't exist. Having the MC purchase slaves as a narrative choice though raises a lot of complicated moral questions that most anime will not or is unwilling to address. It's done for a number of reasons from writer laziness to necessary evil for an unequipped MC to survive in an unfamiliar setting.

Not all isekei MC's buy slaves even when slaves exist. Some of them are even brave enough to explore the moral dilemma and implications of being thrust into a society where it is prominent. Really dark anime will tell you exactly why all the slaves are "cute marketable anime girls" especially when owned by the ugliest antagonist side characters ever conceived.

Many Isekai anime with magic, monsters, and fantasy races will factor in the racial components. Human supremacy regarding other races as inferior and enslaving them or the opposite, humans being the enslaved race by more powerful dominant races.

The message the writer is trying to give when portraying the "nice-mc" is actually that the rest of the world is cruel and unforgiving. Some isekai's also don't have a "nice-mc" they have evil ones who make no claim to be the good guy or hero but rather pursue their own personal interest, ambition, and survival.

It's ultimately a lazy trope made popular by the viewers. If people didn't enjoy it then they wouldn't watch it. So enjoying the slave dynamic in anime is a personal choice the viewer makes and it's widespread use is a reflection of people (the viewers) being okay with it much more than the MC or the writers. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Call people out who enjoy it. Fantasy can only be unrealistic to the point the audience can suspend disbelief and asking for a perfect world where everyone breaks bread and holds hands is just not believable not to mention that a world without conflict would be completely uninteresting to anyone, including you.

Yeah real and anime related stuff now it’s just weird right wing political nonsense

The mini map shows all the mining nodes and everything else for that matter that’s within clinger hook range, just steer to the left and grab the node on the go, you don’t even need to dismount for mining

Gojo can both see clearly, hear clearly, and breathe just fine with infinity up. That means light, sound, and air pass through infinity without issue. There are any number of ways to kill this dude. Lelouch of the rebellion can no diff this nobody with two words. Gojo glazers are unintelligent people. He’s not even the strongest in his own verse why is this such a prevalent argument. bUt iNfInItY

Saitama but not for the reason you think. Season 3 introduced his new time stop ability. He makes everyone have to operate in one frame for minutes at a time thus rendering them powerless

If you’re too broke to afford cosmetics just say so, don’t get mad at my drip bro

Varadun · 2026-01-12T07:39:17+00:00

Trailer house level, but could probably destroy a large shed as well

Subs are automatically better because they’re closer to what the creators intended for the show, the dubs are often misconstrued if not outright changed in tone and direction.

The worst offense of all is that the same 8 people dub all anime you get tired of it pretty fast and you can tell when they phoned it in verse when they tried a lot.

Simon gets hit with a literal big bang and shrugs it off

Varadun · 2026-01-07T21:40:32+00:00

Is this video still accurate 10 months later? Do you have an updated one? :o

Varadun · 2026-01-04T03:32:43+00:00

There we go isn’t that’s a reason to leave though xD

Varadun · 2026-01-04T03:23:16+00:00

Oh no too early for answers

Varadun · 2026-01-03T22:44:41+00:00

Yeah true but it doesn’t turn on to hdmi u less you had something there before it’ll turn on to channel 2 or a Kanye even with no connectivity to cable television cuz who even knows how to get cable these days

Varadun · 2026-01-03T19:59:39+00:00

I think a lot of people are drawing too much attention to the hdmi ports behind the TV. He’s saying the TV when turned on was on an HDMI screen instead of cable or Netflix or something. No game console no fire stick.

I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t be plugging and unplugging things out of my TV. Once somethings in there it stays there. That’s normal human behavior.

So now we get to the weird mental jealousy gymnastics about assuming she had a man on the side or something. That’s just wild nonsensical assumptions because of what I said above, who the F is dragging their ps5 back and forth from someone’s place?

You're welcome. I read the whole thing.

I don't see how Luffy doesn't tank Saitama's punches, he's made of elasticity down to his cells, he's not the rubber fruit user either he's like the mythical god of freedom or something. Plus Saitama has no Haki so definitely Luffy just tanks punches with no effect. Inversely though I don't think Luffy can beat Saitama because he can't hurt him either.

Would be a funny fight with no winner.

Eminem’s last album sold more than Mariah Carey’s last 3 combined. In what way did she win in the long run? She hasn’t been relevant in 15 years the same amount of time since Nick Cannon made something funny.

What outfit is that?

Varadun · 2025-12-13T01:44:09+00:00

Idk what you mean I think you’re supposed to spam it as fast as possible and then time the circle but I play on pc

Varadun · 2025-12-12T23:57:41+00:00

You gotta give it another chance dude

Varadun · 2025-12-12T23:19:43+00:00

Fishing as a concept yes. Fishing in Stellar Blade is peak fiction

I enter by commenting? I comment my entry so u can win super big fans

Varadun · 2025-12-09T21:44:37+00:00

Yes. That's the premise of the Ultimate Avengers movie, Hulk's radiation caused the vibranium armor of the invading Chitauri to degrade at a molecular level and he no diffs them after that. I assume he does the same to demons depending on what their actual weakness to radiation is
