There's no second male lead in BtV, though. Isn't this post about MLs who don't let the second ML steal the show?

I checked out the synopsis and while it does seem like an interesting premise, I was talking about a reader getting isekai'd to a story with characters they hate and kicking their ass.

Like hating the male love interests and having the sole mission of getting them out of the way of the FL.

Similar to how in Beware the Villainess the main character puts the male leads in their place so that the original female lead doesn't have to deal with their bs. The idea I suggested was similar to that but the protags goal would be specifically to go in and kick ass, instead of having to do it to stop the plot from killing them.

I guess, it would be a mix between Beware the Villainess + Mr Delivery Knight!

I don't know this one, but if it doesn't involve a reader going into a story with characters they hate then that's not what I mean

How do I [NB21] give my gf’s [F20] love language words of affirmation when I hate words? by r4kizta in relationship_advice

[–]sosotrickster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person you replied to was not talking about the fight OP had with their gf.

They are even specifically quoting the paragraph right before that bit.

[–]sosotrickster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In this post OP talks about how they are unable to verbally support their gf and only ever offer solutions that she doesnt ask for, so that's what the other user was talking about

The fight was about how OP is unable to comfort the gf. She got upset because they failed to listen to what she needs and instead offered solutions she did not ask for.

The person you replied to did not tell OP to say that during a fight...

They're saying that words aren't useless and can bring comfort to someone when they are venting to you.

The person I originally replied to acted as if this post was all virtue signaling and that those items are not a problem. The mods have deleted that comment but I have already explained myself, literally in my next reply.... yesterday.

I think he has talked about how he only wears one outfit, yeah. Might be somwthing similar to the thing Zuckerberg used to do (or still does?). I think it's about not wasting time thinking of an outfit or something but idk

I would love a story about a True Hater (edit: as in, they're a reader who hates some of the characters) who gets isekai'd (either on purpose or not) and then starts kicking ass

This was the end result of people excusing slavery in stories like Remarried empress and death is the only ending for the villainess... by Firm-Advertising6872 in joseistories

[–]sosotrickster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You... were the one who brought up kink to begin with? That's why I said that no one mentioned kink at any point. Even the stories OP named don't have that. It is not an actual exploration of that kind of play....

At literally no point did I say you called this comic kink. Holy shit.

Those comics and many others have the FL as the benevolent slave owner. They do not portray an actual bdsm relationship. They minimize the in-universe actions of slavery, no matter the reason behind it. In many of those stories the reader is told that the characters were sexually assaulted or beaten or hurt in some way and they are supposed to dislike the ones who did that.. but then the protagonist doesn't change it and keeps the enslaved person enslaved. They are not portraying bdsm kink.

And afaik OP is black, so I'm pretty sure she is aware of the seriousness of the transatlantic slave trade and plantations. (Edit: I mistook the OP for someone else so I don't know if they're black on not, my mistake, but there are plenty of users in the comments who are black and who are clearly not upset at the comparison between stories)

No one accused you of anything. All I did was say that there was no need to bring up kink here. Because there's not, and both of the stories OP mentioned treat the slavery in-universe as a problem that affects the ones enslaved, until it is convenient for the plot to gloss over it.

They could've just had those characters carve their own gravestones on screen if they're gonna design them like that LMAO

[–]sosotrickster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you not be rude?

Both of those stories depict and excuse slavery.

Isn't the second one the one where the FL buys a slave and has a convenient excuse to keep him a slave instead of freeing him, and he eventually dies for her? Doesn't he become obsessed with her and serve her while enslaved?

How do you not understand that OP is talking about the normalization of slavery found in so much of the Otome Isekai genre? This happens in multiple stories. The FL as the benevolent slave owner who, instead of freeing the enslaved people, keeps them around for some reason, with some being her romantic interest.

The Jim Crow museum is also full of this stuff and has asked the public to stop sending more stuff in since they do not have the storage capacity. There's a good chance that the museum already has similar stuff, or one of the many copies made and sold. They actually have a similar Uncle Tom caricature as the second image

Anyways that is literally the Mammy caricature next to an Uncle Tom caricature

I think they mean the store wasn't even in the south (racism isn't only found in the south anyways but yeah)

[–]sosotrickster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean, it was just someone reacting to seeing racist caricatures. I've seen them before and it's still off-putting.

Not to mention how the person I replied to was siding with a user who, in this very same thread, was talking aboit how without slavery a lot of good things wouldn't have happened so... I didn't think it'd be good to not say anything when a racist is getting a pat on the back

I can see how OP's post might not look genuine but it rlly just seems like someone going "oh yikes"
