Same anon from before, the slavery part really gets me because it's so clear Mel didn't thought a lot about this, adding a bunch of stuff in the factory because sounded cool and """"edgy"""" regardless of serious implications
As far as we know, the factory has: child labour, slavery, child soldiers, straight up torture of children and i won't be surprised if child trafficking was involved too (Why only kids oh my fucking God)
Mel is not mature enough to write stuff like this. Period.
If i was her? Either scrap the factory all together or just make it an evil lab that tests on kids to study magic
EXACTLY. Mel is literally not emotionally mature to handle serious topics like this and it really shows. Especially with the abuse comic that she made with Pastel and 🍊's character, and a very uncomfortable video and another comic that involved another character from 🍊 and Nadia, that had 🍊's character that openly depicted as a child sexual abuser, another character from 🍊 straight up abusing Peafowl, and Fern (Snowdrop's Dad, not the IRL one) slapping Snowdrop before she got into the forced marriage with Peafowl and him and Spirala screaming at her for interacting with someone who isn't a goatasus when she was a child, these four subjects being when she was 13-14, I believe.
She literally hasn't changed since she was 13-14, and neither has her writing. Instead, she just got worse and worse because of her lack of knowledge on these subjects and she doesn't have the maturity to handle the topics she puts in her story, and it feels like she's putting stuff in for shock value with no real care.
She literally cannot handle all of these things maturely: Child labour, child soldiers, slavery, kidnapping/abduction, drug/alcohol addiction, CSA (Child Sexual Abuse,) suicide, religion, physical abuse, child abuse in general, child experimentation, torture, racism, and child death.
