PoKeMoN iS aBoUt CoCk FiGhTiNg is baby's first edgy media interpretation. There are multiple storylines over the decades of the franchises existence that deal with Pokemon not wanting to fight and they all conclude with the message that you shouldn't force them to fight - and in the games it's stated that when they "attack" you, it's because they want to test you to see if you're good enough to be their trainer.
"The author wrote the text so the victims are happy with their lot, so criticism of their treatment is invalid" is also an immature media interpretation, and worth about as much as "All characters depicted in this work are 18 or older even if stated otherwise".
As I've mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the house elves in Harry Potter are explicitly written as content with enslavement, but everybody sees that as transparently problematic. What's the difference?
It's fine to like pokemon (I liked/still kinda like it) but that doesn't mean I'm blind to the iffy nature of the premise
I like Mass Effect even though I have moral objections to fucking aliens.
What is your moral objection to fucking a sapient being capable of consenting to sex?
Yeah, maybe if there was a communication barrier I could get it but Mass Effect (presumably) has bullshit scifi communication tech
No real objection. It was meant to be sarcasm but upon re-reading the post I've realized it actually sounds pretty bad and not so different from a reactionary take. I am sorry about that.
Youre good. Thanks for clarifying!
Maybe they just have a moral objection to aliens, and the word "fucking" was an emphatic marker
