Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken

as far as the manga goes, are there any characters in the story curious and ask about Who named our blue slime?

That new cover though. What a loli butt.

this is gonna be an interesting fight

Now im actually interested, is the local audience actually interested in that? I mean the non fantasy rice and pork chops and such? does it create immersion for them? or you?

Im finding this as a kind of lacky imagination.. Maybe thats why its ticking me off. A wasted opportunity to highlight that they actually are in a place which is not even remotely familiar. They take their time to create a scene where they have either serious or comedic interaction, yet now im surprised they arent putting every single thing they eat with boldening and underline. Their everyday rice, miso and what ever else.

 

I guess that its just their very personal cultural thing.. live and learn.

I personally enjoy it a lot, though it doesn't go to the lengths that something like Dungeon Meshi does, where the food does sometimes go places that are weirder.

Last post on this matter from me. This is simply and factually wrong. Atrociously so. Especially were the Arab slave trade is concerned. The reason people concentrate so much on slavery in the New World is a surprisingly simple one. It was extremely well documented, it happened where most of the movement to end it originated from including violent confrontations over it and it was recognized as both wrong and guilt on their part. 

 

The Arab slave trade was INCREDIBLE violent and dehumanizing. It went far further than simply using slaves as a work force with the occasional "liberty" taken by the "owners". Most of the African slaves taken DID NOT HAVE CHILDREN or leave an imprint on the Arabic population. This alone should give one pause. 

 

Slaves were mostly used as "household" slaves. The procedure to turn boys into Eunuchs was incredible dangerous and saw most of them perish. Girls who were household servants did often not fare better. As bad as the European slave trade or some of the actions of the colonists were. They were NOT an isolated incident in human history but rather the norm and they were not by any means the worst things humans have done to one another neither in scale nor in how horrific they were.

...

well, equality in Arab is really hard to comes by at past ...

even at present time for woman, and only just recently they give permit for woman to drive a car ... seriously ...

(probably the latest and the last big country which give driving car permit to woman)

also many Indonesian worker in Arab get major discrimination ...

1. don't get paid

2. beaten or sexually abused

3. killed

4. false acussion which lead to death sentence

5. ask for ransom in case of death sentence

The reason why people focus on colonial/industrial era European trade slavery so much compared to earlier slavery, or compared to what Africans and Middle Easterners did to each other is because slavery post colonialism was more brutal and dehumanizing than any era of slavery before.  Just look up the conditions on board slave ships traveling to the Americas.  And the treatment of and attitude towards slaves in the Americas directly resulted in modern day racism.

 

Also, pre-colonial slavery often (though hardly always) had something that slavery in the Americas did not - a legal way to get out.  Many cultures, like the Norse and Romans, allowed slaves to buy their freedom after a certain amount of time had passed.  Slaves in the Americas were slaves for life, and so were their children.

Wow, I thought I'm here to read a fantasy manga with a slime as mc, but instead I'm confused how the comment section turned into a discussion of slavery history
 
Not bad, totally reminds me of history lesson

oh look a meathead envoy i wonder where he get this idea from...

*looks at Gabil*

It happens a lot in isekai, so it's not surprising. Here's a great clip from American Gods that touched on the subject.

it's intentional, there is no biological gender attached to that body. the novel makes that pretty clear early on. that's why the appearance is androgynous. you could argue that he's male because he was a dude in his past life. but otherwise it's made evident early and never becomes an important topic later on

I think there's another point that was mentioned in passing

What is it with manga and people sending such shitty emissaries? I mean, It's not like our guys are that great either, but come on!

Well, they were just to scout the place, but if you send the tanks to scout mission, then everybody will notice them.

Umm, no..  Even before that era, being the slave was dehumanizing. The winner of tribe wars could do anything with the loser. The only reason why the slavery in USA is so much spoken about is hypocrisy which lead to the civil war and abolition of the slavery.

You mean like right now right? 

Does it matter? Cuteness is justice. 

He/She/It is cute and totally ba....I mean yeah.

I don't think you're legally allowed to swooce in that smoothly when people still don't know if you have a bepis or a bajomba.

Wait what we're ACTUALLY talking about sugar? I thought you were all talking about cocaine.

...

for girls and sweet tooth people, sugar might be more addictive than drugs ... seriously ...

Yep, sugar cane was expensive as other spices. The modern sugar that most of us are using today was invented in XIX century.

...

also in this new age, there's plenty of sugar resource ...

or rather sweet taste ...

sugar cane, bits (kinda misspell in here), honey, corn, yam, various sugar from fruit, etc ...

also there's several derivation in chemical and cooking which will increase sweet taste even without sugar ...

there's several artificial sugar too using chemical reaction ...

I can easily cook meat, vegetable, and fruit together without any sugar and the result still quite sweet too ... (because vegetables and fruit I use already sweet to begin with since it contain bit of sugar, heat can easily amplify sweet taste in cooking)
