Hated Tropes (Hated Trope) "Kind" slave owners

Speaking as an American who has studied the civil war all throughout my school years, this trope infuriates me to no end. There is no such thing as a kind slave master because slavery itself is cruel and inhumane. PEOPLE ARE NOT PROPERTY!

Naofumi (Shield Hero): Prime example of this trope. He enslaves multiple (underage) girls and an whole village and the fans still say he's a hero.

Rudeus (Jobless Reincarnation): As if being a pedo wasn't bad enough he had to buy a slave in season 2. Worse is that people still defend his actions.

Song of The South (Disney): Possibly the OG example of this trope. And the reason why Disney will never release it again.

If they want to make so many "generic isekai with one (1) defining characteristic" why dont they make "i got reincarnated into a fantasy world but they own slaves there so i became Fantasy John Brown"

Well, if i'm not mistaken there are actually few ones i see mentioned.

Through i don't really into isekai, so i didn't readed them, but they do exist.
