I fucking hate the slave trope with a passion as a black woman seeing these mostly non black author try to romanize being a slave like. I know it fake but I genuinely feel like it down plays what black people really went through. Because being a slave wasn't just cleaning and what not. Also why do they never have the trauma that would come with being a slave. Also it never felt right when they get into a relationship because if the SLAVE says no they could DIE like it just gets on my nerves. Plus child slaves who have been slaves there whole life wouldn't even try it because all the would know is being a slave they wouldn't know how to read or do other "noble activities" so if the "Master" were like I like you date me the slave would have no control in the matter. Like author bring back they just being in debt pls. Like you could write a world where slavery doesn't exist butttttt no. And don't come at me with the there just be "realistic" she in a novel for fucks sake she have power I can't stand it. What next are the going to romanize "witch burning" Aghhhghh I cant stand it if this is your favorite trope seek help
