It’s funny, but it’s a little concerning how much people lean so hard into the slavery aspect of this game. Like yeah, it’s there, a normal person doesn’t exactly relish it. Not saying OP does, but some people enjoy the slavery aspect a little too much, know what I mean?

It's funny, but a little concerning how much people lean so hard into the slavery aspect of eating meat. /s

Like, I get your point, but this is also about a different species - in the same way that people farm animals for meat and other products, people used to (and still do) farm other people for the fruits of their labour. This is also a video game, it's all pretend. You could argue the villagers in Age of Empires are slaves. You could extend that to just about any player controlled character.

Again, you do have a point, and there is a reasonable worry that people could take this experience and be radicalised alongside it. You could also argue that video games cause violence - however, the real argument is against people being radicalised, and that process itself is what is wrong. The parallel experiences themselves are not wrong, they're just potentially exploited in that radicalisation process.
