It isn't "claiming ownership of black people". It's treating black characters the same as any other race. It can't be equated to slavery, and even if it could then Arab people and other blacks would have to be included in that as well (why does everyone "forget" that the African slave trade was vast and had many, many destinations? That's just denying history and acting as though real victims didn't exist).

It just rubs me the wrong way to see people demanding double standards, ignoring history and practical usage to do so.

NAYRT but it's possessive

It's not the same as claiming literal ownership, and it may not be bad that it's possessive, but it is an extremely possessive way of talking

It still can't in any logical sense be equated to slavery. At all.

I agree that it can't be equated to slavery. I don't think that anon who said "claim ownership of black people" was even equating it to slavery. What the argument from the actual letter said is that "The language of anti-black racism is often couched in terms of infantilization and ownership" which I think is true.

Even so when people apply the same terms equally to characters of all races, this is just normalizing the idea of fans loving black characters. There's no reason to use entirely different language based on race.
