I feel like maybe you're kinda sorta missing the point here. Nobody is saying it's bad to free slaves. NOBODY. So you can put down that argument, because your earnest counterargument is not required.

The problem lies in that Great White Savior is a racist cliché, that freedom for a bunch of brown-skinned savages is only possible via an enlightened white person. Also, it's not just that this scenario comes with "mass amounts of associated baggage", but that it's a scenario that has a near monopoly on ANY story that involves freeing of slaves.

Again: NOBODY IS SAYING IT'S BAD TO FREE SLAVES OR THAT WHITE PEOPLE ARE BAD FOR DOING IT. NOBODY.

She's not particularly enlightned...she just has a bigger army. And dragons. She doesn't come in with any particular ~grand wisdom~ or anything, just brute force. Don't think that's particularly admirable, but whatever, that's me.
