It's the plot device of, "I'll buy a slave, raise them in a very modern Earth method like I would my child, give them a great life, and help develop unique skills for them to use. I've raised this diamond in the rough that would have died in misery if not for me buying them."
Romance and\or Sex with them optional.
Now that's criticism I agree with. I'm currently playing Assassins Creed Valhalla and you'd think vikings were feminists, women as equals everyhwere and gay romancing. It's something I've come to hate in pretty much all modern video games: They're super woke, applying modern values to historic time periods ... at least for the "good guys", lol. It's why I have no interest in Baldur's Gate 3 right now, so much choice the game promises, but I'm sure I cannot be a transphobic, racist asshole that has 3 wives who don't know about each other (to use an extreme example of what I'd like to see in games).

Makes me remember the fake-controversary about Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Final Fantasy 16, for lacking black people. Yeah, duh, it's supposed to a pseudo-version of the middle age.

Ah, you made me rant, gotta stop :>
