#against their will' but he's often seen whoring around afterwards i hate male writers so much it's unreal

[piduai]

the aftermath of the yoshiwara arc has always struck me as so sinister lol like ok we have an underground red lights districts the residents of which were explicitly sold by their families to pirates, who then proceeded to sell them into sex slavery, and we have a couple of women who are playing the cards dealt to them and trying to live proudly despite their circumstances. ok. but then the main pimp is killed and the narrative is like well the girls had nowhere to go and can do nothing else with their lives anyway so we're going to keep the business model :) except the main pimps are now the exact women who went through the worst of the horrors because of it #femaleceo #liberation #sexslaveryiswork

#and the annoying ass mc while going on yet another of his mid-battle pompous tirades was like 'i didn't buy any girls yet bc they're here #against their will' but he's often seen whoring around afterwards i hate male writers so much it's unreal #it's ridiculous getting mad over this but it's such a common trope. male authors loooove the willing emancipated her choice hooker so much #despite most of them more than likely being johns irl and knowing perfectly well at the bottom of their rotten hearts that they're despised #i love this arc otherwise btw i just can't allow myself to think about it for too long
