@@ZackShark1So did John Brown and yet even after his death, his name struck fear into the hearts of slaveowners everywhere, the same way Hannibal induced mind-numbing panic into the Roman psyche. To this day in Italy, “Hannibal ad Portas!” (Hannibal at the Gates!) remains an expression of dismay and shock.
Especially since most slave owners were "nice slave owners". This was mainly bc they were trying to avoid a Haiti situation by "killing 'em with kindness"
The only real plot line it makes even remotely sense is say enslaved via curse that can't be broken, to the protag "buys" them and dosent treat them as slaves, even then its still cringe
@@dogguy8603 so basically that one where the guy gets isekaied by two girls and because he was summoned as his character in the mmo he played, the enslavement thing bounced off of him and onto them. The main plot of it is them all trying to get the slave collars Removed
The best part? This exists now. It's a book released chapter by chapter online and called *His Soul is Marching on to Another World; or, the John Brown Isekai.*
There's actually an American book series from the 80s or 90s where a group of college students end up isekai'd, with them ultimately being given the goal of ending slavery. No cheat abilities beyond what mid-level non-mage D&D characters would be capable of, but they were smart and determined to see it through, and they made a big impact. By the time I'd finished reading what was available, the supply of slaves was so low they had to be treated as precious cargo for the slavers to turn a profit.
It's easy. Just help the British Empire organise the West Africa squadron a little earlier, and prevent the secession of the Thirteen Colonies. Simple as when you know what's going to happen.
@@Lorgar64The best way to prevent colonial secession would be to prevent the governments from demanding representation without taxation, and just accept Parliament's offer.
Oh we DEFINITELY need a John Brown Isekai. EDIT: "His Soul is Marching On to Another World; or, the John Brown Isekai" by The Cabbage Preacher. The first chapter is A delight.

Virgin shield hero: umm slavery is ok if u are good aktualy Chad Vinland Saga: slavery is the act of taking away someone's status as a human, as long as someone is able to own another none of us will truly be free
I know this is a meme, but they never actually glorified slavery. The anime (and especially the manga) make it clear that being a slave (as far as Raphtalia was concerned) was NOT a good experience. In addition, both Presidents Lincoln and then-general Grant both kept slaves of their own.
She also made her own point about why the other heroes didn't try to free other slaves instead if forcibly trying to "free" her when she wanted to Stat by Naofumi's side, even after she lost her seal.
This is based and John Brown pilled. (Fun fact: I was the one who originally made this meme as a sneaky promotion for my webnovel, the John Brown Isekai. I'm amazed at how far it has spread on the internet, lol.) (EDIT: I've added a link to this video in the author's notes of the 5th chapter of the John Brown Isekai!)
Research Dr Stone, learn engineering, chemistry, metallurgy, ballistics. The problem of making firearms in a primitive setting is that you need to know how to build the tools yo build the tools to build the tools to make even primitive firearms. Primitive firearms are themselves very limited. Formations of cavalry, infantry, archers, let alone magic users and massively powerful monsters, can and will f*ck them up. It took quite a bit until firearms rose to the level of being such a dominant weapon system.

I've read shittone of trashy fanfics in my life. One was basically a romance between a slave and slave owner. Somehow the author managed to write a more or less realistic relationship between those two people. Long story short the relationship was incredibly toxic and couldn't survive because of the inherent power imbalance If a fanfic can do it then a professional writer also should be to do it. You don't even need to sacrifice the smut
@@user-lx5vw9nx7qand if you look around in this comment thread, apparently the guy who even made this meme to promote said story :D if that commenter is to be believed
The fact that so many isekai main characters are so okay with slavery makes me want to examine where the hell this attitude comes from. Is this just weird Japanese otaku culture or is it a general Japanese "well it can't be helped" mentality??
This is my take on it. Anime as a whole is an escapist fantasy. That's why there is so many shitty harem anime and so few actual stories and art. The reason being is that Japan society as a whole has been eroding their youth. Like their schooling is strict and then once they get into the work force they are treated like slaves. They don't got the time to pursue their hobbies or romantic lives. They just don't live. So what happens when a genre that specially focuses on sad or pathetic men who turn out to be the strongest in another world? Folks will eat that shit up and saturate the whole anime industry with it. Slaves and sisters being love interests feeds into the fantasy of: "Oh, I don't have to lift a finger, I already have a girl here." Yes it's gross but it really gives you some insight into the psyche of these people. They got no social skills, they don't have the time to develop it, and they have no money or even emotional capacity to do what they love because their society has failed them. It made them believe that working overtime is just what you do and that taking sick leaves is terrible. Sorry for the essay btw but I hope you found this interesting.

Honestly this would make a hilarious send up of these types of animes. Lure people into watching this one shot of a guy being transported to a world where fantasy slave girls that must obey your every wish or something horrid happens, and naturally he buys some slaves but he swears he'll be good! Then without warning John Brown bursts down the door with his rag tag team of freed slave girls bearing weapons and killing the hero, freeing his harem, and burning down his house. 10/10 would watch again and again.
You know, like the goblin slayer anime, I feel like those slave girls and or boys are already broken aforehand, those with beautiful countenance were probably defiled already, I'm not sure whether they could or even want to carry on, whether they still have the will to live anymore, sometimes it would be more merciful to just let them pass on, however, as for the slave trader/owner/hunter, well I think we already know what to do with them don't we? Also, if something like that is already well accepted by the society itself, it would be difficult, not impossible to change it, I feel like it's kind of a lose-lose situation.
@@thediethrower1803 should there be a force to impose it then it would be easy, but if you isekai'd to a world would you automatically have power rivalling a nation? and liberation from slavery doesn't always mean better living standards, when the american slaves were freed they basically still had no right beyond meagre payments, only through hundreds of years can they finally have some right to be a citizen, but even now discrimination is still there, it may be possible to eradicate slavery, but it doesn't always result in better treatment, sometimes one's living standard become even worse.
@@animq4ionboi.153 personally doesn't sounds too appealing because these slaves would have similar fertility and growth to that of human sometimes if not worse so unless you already established robust infrastructure to support rapid breeding and training program for slaves to be used as constant cannon fodder charging to their doom while leave behind enough breeding stocks to make it sustainable long term then you'll run out of slave very quickly unless they have a lifespan of a cat and grow very quickly i don't know.
John brown also planned on making a freed-slave state /stronghold in the mountains where not just the slaves he'd freed but any slave that had escaped could go to. He was kind of a chad.
Normal time travelers: Goes back in time to prevent a murderous tyrant from coming into power Chad John Brown: Goes back in time to the first slave owner, shoot him and warn his friends that if they follow his lead they're next
I would love to see an anime where the isekai protagonist just drops the intended plotline and just focuses one tearing down a corrupt slave state. Bonus points if the 'Demon King' turns out to basically be a much more successful Spartacus.
That's pretty much Skeleton Knight. After a few episodes faffing around with basic fantasy stuff he joins up with Elf Lady John Brown and they spend the rest of the season freeing slaves and destroying auction sites.
Please god yes, I want an Isekai where the protagonist is a full blown revolutionary going around upending the feudal system by force where ever they go.

Whenever I read "burn down the harems", horrific imagery permeates my mind... The screams of realizing what has become of their mortal vessels. The smell of singing flesh as it burns to a crisp. The eyes of those seeking salvation from their captors, only to meet a cruel and unusual death that one would think there truly was happiness in slavery. For while their wills were bound, they were also protected. Yet as their master lays dead before them, they too shall join them in the afterlife. Once the holy flame of retribution dies, and the embers fade.
If only an isekai anime would focus on freeing slaves and creating a nation of freed slaves or freeing them, but no..... we have to fight demon lords and recruit that one cute slave girl and give her stockholm syndrome
There's one like that "Reincarnated as a Sword" is basically a guy gets isekaied into a sword, adopts a cute cat girl daughter who he can give his OP abilities to and since she's a former slave she has no patience with slave traders. Goes out of her way to butcher them when she comes across one.
@@andrewowens4421 There is also the Skeleton paladin one, where he save a girl and help her rescue the rest of their people, is a power fantasy but at last the protagonist is actually a cool guy
I remember a generic isekai anime with magic and slaves where there was a "slave curse" and that no magic could break it but the protagonist could create magic or counter spells for others, so he thought about the concept of freedom and the generic dumb protagonist was The name came out: "Abraham Lincoln?" and in that universe the spell "Abraham Lincoln?" remained forever like the spell of the liberators.
Honestly the idea of a whole isekai where a bunch of people are trying to convince the hero that slavery is okay and the hero is just not having it ever as he starts a rebellion to stop the massive legalized slave trade is fucking awesome.

Me, in my isekai world for only 5 minutes, already on the run from the law, because the first thing that happened was someone asking me to buy a slave, so they're dead.
I’d legitimately watch an anime where John Brown ends up in a generic ass medieval slave-harem isekai and instead fights against the previous MC, the side characters, villains, and the animators and writers themselves in order to free the slaves.
Just started reading the John Brown isekai, and as someone who loves to learn about badass abolitionists, Cassius Marcellus Clay being my favourite, I'm already in love with it, love how astute author-kun made John Brown
Made a whole documentary on this guy for a school project and it got entered into a contest that got me all the way to the national level a few years ago. I’m glad I get to see him again in meme form.
To be fair, Subaru from Re Zero led an entire slave rebellion and tried to reform the government, so there is at least one based isekai protag out there.
That Shield Hero thing in the video is a bit odd, since he clearly thinks about consquences - in contrast to the other heros, who just do the heroic stuff and often make thing worse. What shall he do, especially with his position where he was already seen as borderline criminal if not worse? Start a war, all on his own? If he kills the slave trader, he will be hunted down just like them and they will just get killed or enslaved again. On top of that, when you got such magic involved what even helps you, that changes a lot. Slavery is about exploitation of the slave. If you got something like a magical slave bind that actually helps the slave a lot, that's changed the situation massively and you would find many people who would willingly go with it. Comparing such things with RL slavery is simlpy whitewashing RL slavery, which is just awful for the slaves with no benefits at all. Slavery with benefits is pretty much what modern wage work looks like - and still much worse than that situation.
@@miriamweller812 Naofumi did things worse just like the other heroes, its just that the story unlike with them refused to call him out on it. Remember the slave trader? He confirmed that thanks to Naofumi he got ALOT more costumers. And chances are that the people who bought slaves from him were not as "kind" as Naofumi. Also, remember all those shots at his shop with demihumans (CHILDREN INCLUDED) being stuffed in small cages? Yeah, I am sure nothing bad will happen to the world if a person like him gains more money and influence and doesnt encourage other people to follow his career path. But I quess these are the consequences that Naofumi did not think about and thuss they arent allowed to exist in this story or come and bite him in the ass later on. Also, while you might say that Naofumi did not have a choise at the start, once the queen cleared his name he kept doing it and never even asked the queen to abolish slavery (dont say she couldnt, she changed the entire religion of the country with 0 resistance. She 100% could) Also," Slavery is about exploitation of the slave. If you got something like a magical slave bind that actually helps the slave a lot". So are we gonna conviniently leave out that bind gives the slaves electro shoch if they lie or refuse to obey their master? Ok then. Trully getting better stats but having to share them with the person that owns you and you cant use to improve you life without permision from said person is clearly equally beneficial for both parties and not hardcore exploitation with a nice coat of paint.
@@miriamweller812Rising of the Shield Hero is one of the worst garbage when it comes to portraying slavery. It's just borderline a "savior fetish" where the hero buys a slave however he is such a "nice" slave owner that the slave ends up falling in love with her master. Remember when the raccoon girl got PTSD from seeing her parents killed right in front of her? Well, Naofumi forced her to kill an animal despite her resistance, and suddenly her PTSD is gone and healed. Wow, how convenient! I mean, we can't have our good guy accidentally give her PTSD even more permanent damage by forcing her to kill against her own will. No, no, no... he is a "good master" and the girl ends up being his slave out of her own free will. That's the most distasteful trope I have ever seen in anime. "It's okay if I own a slave as long as I treat them nice."
Honestly, an isekai where z righteous man frees harems and slowly raised a freed army to liberate the world, turning generic tropes into soldiers and shi sounds sick as hell.
I wanna see a power trip anime, but the guy is a good person. And decides he ain't gonna let the system go on the same and goes all Fisher tiger, freeing the slaves and punching high figures in government. And yet he makes sure that he doesn't become as terrible as them
Not all power fantasies have to be on the dark and evil indulgent, it can be striking down evil with a righteous fury, it can be singlehandedly changing the world for the good because you have the power to.
@@callmefox630Most isekai are not dark and evil, but they're about a hero destroying evil wizards/demons who shake up the status quo while accepting all evil within the status quo. Ex : Harry Potter.
That would require him to start a party of equals to institute political reform and revolution whilst holding him accountable and that might ruin the power fantasy.
I always hate it when a slave character in an anime gets freed from the magical thing that makes them a slave, then they imediately go "nah, put it back on for the ✨memories✨"
This is kinda random, but I was playing New Vegas earlier, and now I’m imagining a meeting between John Brown and Joshua Graham. “Mr Brown, it is an honor to meet such a loyal servant of the Lord as yourself. Shall we go forth and do His good work?” “We shall, Mr. Graham!”
Terrible tropes in Western cartoons - "This is why Western animation has fallen off." Terrible tropes in Japanese cartoons - "B-b-b-b-b-but it's muh fiction!!!!! What's wrong with it?!"
We certainly need a Isekai where the characters end the slavery instead of profit from it (I know such shows exist, don't @ me) EDIT: The amount of people asking for examples like is worrying because it implies this is not a common thing.
@@YOSSARIAN313why would I buy a slave for sex? That’s just a waste of money. I need someone to work the mines digging up ore for my sword making business.

@@Johnny-Number-OneI can think of several good isekais. Inuyasha for example is quite enjoyable. Digimon is another, although I suppose that can be hit or miss depending upon the specific series in question. Märchen Awakens Romance (MÄR) is a case of “you either like it or you don’t” but if you do you do. I would qualify Zatch Bell as a reverse isekai and it’s probably one of the best series out there. High Rise Invasion is pretty simplistic but still fun. And of course the ever classic Wizard of Oz, although the whole subplot about the author’s economic beliefs was kinda weird.
I swear, how much cooler would it be if we had an Isekai protagonist that actually wants to free the slaves, instead of buying one on episode 2 then only really worrying about slave traders around a season later or two later (I'm looking at you shield hero)

That everyone should be free from exploitation. Haiti stood up for the most vulnerable people when no one else would. Haiti should be remembered as such.

I’m on chapter 1 and it’s already perfect, had to pause and laugh at this line- “Watanabe Generico had failed to notice the fact that John Brown had been slowly sneaking up to him, a novice mistake to not be aware of any wild abolitionists while adventuring.”
I wish for an Isekai where the main character is a dinosaur, and instead of a fantasy world they become like an Isekai dinosaur version of John Carter on an alien planet. No harem, just a dinosaur eating aliens.
God the nerdy ‘average guy’ voice and the immediate willingness to give into the slightest bit of peer pressure despite supposedly being a grown up with morals pretty much summarises 90% of anime protagonists
I love how most mc of anime’s talk about how they shouldn’t get involved in slavery because it’s wrong for an outsider to get involved. Although they’re pretty glad to get involved with religion, politics, wars, politicians, culture, etc. but they draw the line at slavery. I would understand if it’s a world where they aren’t op as hell and could easily be killed if you went up against a few dozen people but the overpowered one just wanted sec slaves
I know right? Who tf wants sec slaves unless theyre rich enough? I'd rather slaves for doing labour, at least they can pay for themselves thru that because you gotta take care of slaves because theyre still people at the end of the day.. Not that I would like slavery.
@@CommissarChaotic Yeah I see what you’re saying. Labor slaves can make you a profit, which makes them far more practical. It also led to a lot of problems, slavery in general is only good for Rich people and terrible for the rest of society. because they Don’t have to pay anyone The slave owners could charge less for good slaves produce. This would cause non-slave owners to lose their businesses. Making it so the Society needed more slaves to feed the entire population who is no longer working. The problem is if you have too many slaves they can rebel and overthrow their owners.
@@daveshoe4574 it's not even all that good for the rich themselves because costs of beating slaves up is so high only the centralized state could afford it, and then there's overhead of slaves blatantly hating their work and breaking the tools, thus making it so technology can't be implemented at all, leaving slaves only with cheapest mass produced tools.

I know this is a meme, but they never actually glorified slavery. The anime (and especially the manga) make it clear that being a slave (as far as Raphtalia was concerned) was NOT a good experience. In addition, both Presidents Lincoln and then-general Grant both kept slaves of their own.
She also made her own point about why the other heroes didn't try to free other slaves instead if forcibly trying to "free" her when she wanted to Stat by Naofumi's side, even after she lost her seal.
@@MrRAGE-md5rjEhh, this is a bit copey. Raphtalia literally asked for her slave crest to be reapplied. It was really weird.
@@EpicGamer-yv5nf People do weirder thing irl. Wearing literal dog collars is, like, one of the least weird of them.

*How It's Made theme intensifies*
Research Dr Stone, learn engineering, chemistry, metallurgy, ballistics.
The problem of making firearms in a primitive setting is that you need to know how to build the tools yo build the tools to build the tools to make even primitive firearms.
Primitive firearms are themselves very limited. Formations of cavalry, infantry, archers, let alone magic users and massively powerful monsters, can and will f*ck them up.
It took quite a bit until firearms rose to the level of being such a dominant weapon system.
@@mirceazaharia2094And bear in mind that even the most powerful man-portable munitions miiiiight be ineffective, depending on power scaling.
In essence, is it FFX, where Vegnagun is the most powerful thing, or is it Dragon Ball, where technological weapons are useless except as a distraction?

I will never forget that in shield hero the girl decides to keep her slave magic chain because it's a sign of friendship or whatever bs she said.

In the manga she also chooses it because it grants her stat growth bonuses and she wants the strength to defend herself and others.
@@Javettsand they didn't maybe find a way to have that bonus without the extremely unethical power disparity it creates?
@@Javetts of course the author had to create a practical incentive for slavery
I've read shittone of trashy fanfics in my life. One was basically a romance between a slave and slave owner. Somehow the author managed to write a more or less realistic relationship between those two people.

Yes, and make John Brown a cute schoolgirl. Junko Brown.
The fact that so many isekai main characters are so okay with slavery makes me want to examine where the hell this attitude comes from. Is this just weird Japanese otaku culture or is it a general Japanese "well it can't be helped" mentality??
Well their companies treat them like slaves anyways and I am sure most people their dreamed of one day being on top of that power balance.
Fetish
People in real life also like being slaves to their partners
This is my take on it. Anime as a whole is an escapist fantasy. That's why there is so many shitty harem anime and so few actual stories and art. The reason being is that Japan society as a whole has been eroding their youth. Like their schooling is strict and then once they get into the work force they are treated like slaves. They don't got the time to pursue their hobbies or romantic lives. They just don't live. So what happens when a genre that specially focuses on sad or pathetic men who turn out to be the strongest in another world? Folks will eat that shit up and saturate the whole anime industry with it. Slaves and sisters being love interests feeds into the fantasy of: "Oh, I don't have to lift a finger, I already have a girl here." Yes it's gross but it really gives you some insight into the psyche of these people. They got no social skills, they don't have the time to develop it, and they have no money or even emotional capacity to do what they love because their society has failed them. It made them believe that working overtime is just what you do and that taking sick leaves is terrible. Sorry for the essay btw but I hope you found this interesting.

Essentially, the man may have died, but his cause had not
Honestly this would make a hilarious send up of these types of animes. Lure people into watching this one shot of a guy being transported to a world where fantasy slave girls that must obey your every wish or something horrid happens, and naturally he buys some slaves but he swears he'll be good!
Then without warning John Brown bursts down the door with his rag tag team of freed slave girls bearing weapons and killing the hero, freeing his harem, and burning down his house.
10/10 would watch again and again.
You know, like the goblin slayer anime, I feel like those slave girls and or boys are already broken aforehand, those with beautiful countenance were probably defiled already, I'm not sure whether they could or even want to carry on, whether they still have the will to live anymore, sometimes it would be more merciful to just let them pass on, however, as for the slave trader/owner/hunter, well I think we already know what to do with them don't we?
Also, if something like that is already well accepted by the society itself, it would be difficult, not impossible to change it, I feel like it's kind of a lose-lose situation.
@@luckyabdurrahman1085it would be hard. But slavery has been put down before irl in nation's where it had been seen as normal.
@@thediethrower1803 should there be a force to impose it then it would be easy, but if you isekai'd to a world would you automatically have power rivalling a nation? and liberation from slavery doesn't always mean better living standards, when the american slaves were freed they basically still had no right beyond meagre payments, only through hundreds of years can they finally have some right to be a citizen, but even now discrimination is still there, it may be possible to eradicate slavery, but it doesn't always result in better treatment, sometimes one's living standard become even worse.

Cadence needs work, rhymes need work, but a solid proof of concept. I expect great things from you.
Whenever I read "burn down the harems", horrific imagery permeates my mind...
The screams of realizing what has become of their mortal vessels.
The smell of singing flesh as it burns to a crisp.
The eyes of those seeking salvation from their captors, only to meet a cruel and unusual death that one would think there truly was happiness in slavery.
For while their wills were bound, they were also protected.
Yet as their master lays dead before them, they too shall join them in the afterlife.
Once the holy flame of retribution dies, and the embers fade.

That Shield Hero thing in the video is a bit odd, since he clearly thinks about consquences - in contrast to the other heros, who just do the heroic stuff and often make thing worse.
What shall he do, especially with his position where he was already seen as borderline criminal if not worse? Start a war, all on his own? If he kills the slave trader, he will be hunted down just like them and they will just get killed or enslaved again.
On top of that, when you got such magic involved what even helps you, that changes a lot.
Slavery is about exploitation of the slave. If you got something like a magical slave bind that actually helps the slave a lot, that's changed the situation massively and you would find many people who would willingly go with it.
Comparing such things with RL slavery is simlpy whitewashing RL slavery, which is just awful for the slaves with no benefits at all.
Slavery with benefits is pretty much what modern wage work looks like - and still much worse than that situation.
@@miriamweller812 Naofumi did things worse just like the other heroes, its just that the story unlike with them refused to call him out on it.
Remember the slave trader? He confirmed that thanks to Naofumi he got ALOT more costumers. And chances are that the people who bought slaves from him were not as "kind" as Naofumi.
Also, remember all those shots at his shop with demihumans (CHILDREN INCLUDED) being stuffed in small cages? Yeah, I am sure nothing bad will happen to the world if a person like him gains more money and influence and doesnt encourage other people to follow his career path.
But I quess these are the consequences that Naofumi did not think about and thuss they arent allowed to exist in this story or come and bite him in the ass later on.
Also, while you might say that Naofumi did not have a choise at the start, once the queen cleared his name he kept doing it and never even asked the queen to abolish slavery (dont say she couldnt, she changed the entire religion of the country with 0 resistance. She 100% could)
Also," Slavery is about exploitation of the slave. If you got something like a magical slave bind that actually helps the slave a lot".
So are we gonna conviniently leave out that bind gives the slaves electro shoch if they lie or refuse to obey their master? Ok then.
Trully getting better stats but having to share them with the person that owns you and you cant use to improve you life without permision from said person is clearly equally beneficial for both parties and not hardcore exploitation with a nice coat of paint.
@@miriamweller812Rising of the Shield Hero is one of the worst garbage when it comes to portraying slavery. It's just borderline a "savior fetish" where the hero buys a slave however he is such a "nice" slave owner that the slave ends up falling in love with her master.
Remember when the raccoon girl got PTSD from seeing her parents killed right in front of her? Well, Naofumi forced her to kill an animal despite her resistance, and suddenly her PTSD is gone and healed. Wow, how convenient! I mean, we can't have our good guy accidentally give her PTSD even more permanent damage by forcing her to kill against her own will. No, no, no... he is a "good master" and the girl ends up being his slave out of her own free will.
That's the most distasteful trope I have ever seen in anime. "It's okay if I own a slave as long as I treat them nice."

Re: Zero is excellent. I don't think I've seen a single other good isekai though. Not counting Konosuba, but that show is an absurd comedy so it doesn't quite count
@@chuckleshelicopterwigwamjo6305 yeah, there definitely are good isekai for sure. Those two are good examples of that. But a large majority of the time they’re just filled with fan service and have boring plots.
You say that like those things aren't still getting made lmfao
@@Peasham I guess. But that’s not the point.
@@Johnny-Number-OneI can think of several good isekais. Inuyasha for example is quite enjoyable. Digimon is another, although I suppose that can be hit or miss depending upon the specific series in question. Märchen Awakens Romance (MÄR) is a case of “you either like it or you don’t” but if you do you do. I would qualify Zatch Bell as a reverse isekai and it’s probably one of the best series out there. High Rise Invasion is pretty simplistic but still fun. And of course the ever classic Wizard of Oz, although the whole subplot about the author’s economic beliefs was kinda weird.
I swear, how much cooler would it be if we had an Isekai protagonist that actually wants to free the slaves, instead of buying one on episode 2 then only really worrying about slave traders around a season later or two later (I'm looking at you shield hero)
You wouldn't like it either way
Shield hero in S3 is literally about saving slaves, he even builds a village for them
I love the detail that the crying guy in the second meme is that very same Waranabe Generico, except after years of beneffiting from slavery so he had money to shave, tho hairstyle remained the same
Basically me when I play Fallout 3.
This video caused me to learn about John Brown and The Civil War
John Brown did nothing wrong.
@@brandonandujar2289 haiti is based they funded latin american revolutionaries at immense cost with the promise that slavery would be abolished. They are the primary reason why spanish latin america all abolished slavery before the US did. While britain gave up slavery because they had more profitable ways to explout people haiti had principles. Haiti believed that no one should be a slave period. That everyone should be free from exploitation. Haiti stood up for the most vulnerable people when no one else would. Haiti should be remembered as such.
@@YOSSARIAN313And now they love in abject poverty. Lolol
For anyone reading actually interested in this concept of a John Brown isekai, The Cabbage Preacher on RoyalRoad is writing it. His Soul Is Marching on To Another World; or, The John Brown Isekai. Very fun
Inherited will
The ebb and flow of the ages
And peoples dreams
As long as people yearn for freedom these things will never seize to be.
John Brown once carried all the united states history in his back and with the blessing of the lord brought the country to his knees
A violent revolution harem anime. That... might be enough to make me actually watch anime, and I don't say that lightly.
a man i admired once said "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings"
he was correct ofcourse
and his name was optimus prime.

Thank you for promoting the John Brown Isekai!!! I’m on chapter 1 and it’s already perfect, had to pause and laugh at this line-
“Watanabe Generico had failed to notice the fact that John Brown had been slowly sneaking up to him, a novice mistake to not be aware of any wild abolitionists while adventuring.”
This has moved me to tears its so beautiful!
I love how "The John Brown Isakai" explains more about the story than actual Isekai with entire sentences.
As he died to make men holy, Let us die to make men free.
I've watched this on repeat because it's so inspired. John Brown Isekai is the best
This is why we need an Abraham Lincoln isekai where he uses his famously brutal pugilist techniques to emancipat all the slaves.

I love how there can be two interpretations of the meaning of this quote.
I wish for an Isekai where the main character is a dinosaur, and instead of a fantasy world they become like an Isekai dinosaur version of John Carter on an alien planet. No harem, just a dinosaur eating aliens.
God the nerdy ‘average guy’ voice and the immediate willingness to give into the slightest bit of peer pressure despite supposedly being a grown up with morals pretty much summarises 90% of anime protagonists
absolutely based
I love how most mc of anime’s
talk about how they shouldn’t get involved in slavery because it’s wrong for an outsider to get involved. Although they’re pretty glad to get involved with religion, politics, wars, politicians, culture, etc. but they draw the line at slavery. I would understand if it’s a world where they aren’t op as hell and could easily be killed if you went up against a few dozen people but the overpowered one just wanted sec slaves
I know right? Who tf wants sec slaves unless theyre rich enough? I'd rather slaves for doing labour, at least they can pay for themselves thru that because you gotta take care of slaves because theyre still people at the end of the day.. Not that I would like slavery.
@@CommissarChaotic Yeah I see what you’re saying. Labor slaves can make you a profit, which makes them far more practical. It also led to a lot of problems, slavery in general is only good for Rich people and terrible for the rest of society. because they Don’t have to pay anyone The slave owners could charge less for good slaves produce. This would cause non-slave owners to lose their businesses. Making it so the Society needed more slaves to feed the entire population who is no longer working. The problem is if you have too many slaves they can rebel and overthrow their owners.
@@daveshoe4574 it's not even all that good for the rich themselves because costs of beating slaves up is so high only the centralized state could afford it, and then there's overhead of slaves blatantly hating their work and breaking the tools, thus making it so technology can't be implemented at all, leaving slaves only with cheapest mass produced tools.
