have an rss feed set to /r/manga to keep up with serials that I can’t use other feeds to track and, unironically about every couple months or so, there’s a new entry in the set I like to call slaveslop, in which the protagonist (usually faceless):

  • buys a slave
    • bonus if they’re a fantasy race (subtle)
  • gives them a glow-up
  • treats them like either their child or their spouse
    • bonus if they are never even offered emancipation???

like I’ve seen so many of these when I was still actively browsing reddit, and even now that its just the feed I can still see they’re still being pumped out from the slop factory. is this the pure id of the weeb? i know isekai is also dogshit for slavery apologia but this seems to be cutting the fanfare and serving it as the main course.

what’s the deal mack biden-alert

    there’s also a stark audience-overlap with the specific flank of weebs who talk about ‘headpats’ with the same aura as someone banned from the local playground catgirl-disgust
