Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': Owning slaves is one of the most evil acts possible.
* '''Straight''': Emperor Evulz is an abusive slaveowner, which is considered to be his worst attribute and makes him absolutely irredeemable. Fellow villain Dracone is disgusted by Evulz because he owns slaves.
* '''Exaggerated''': Evulz is despised by everyone on the planet for owning slaves, to the point that he can't get ''anyone'' to work with him voluntarily.
* '''Downplayed''': Evulz isn't totally unsympathetic, but he is roundly condemned for owning slaves and it is made very clear that he will not have even a prayer of redemption unless he immediately frees his slaves and renounces slavery in clear terms, for starters.
* '''Justified''':
** This is a common real-life perspective owing to the many horrors of real slavery.
** In a sci-fi setting, automation has become so easy that [[WeWillUseManualLaborInTheFuture the only reason to use organic slaves is pure sadism.]]
* '''Inverted''':
** Bob is a SympatheticSlaveowner whose slaves experience HappinessInSlavery.
** While slavery is portrayed as being very, very wrong, Evulz [[EvenEvilHasStandards has standards]] and abhors [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape]], [[WoudntHurtAChild infanticide]], and other such acts.
* '''Subverted''': Evulz is given some degree of sympathy, with it being shown he does care for his slaves to some extent.
* '''Double Subverted''': Evulz's ego gives him an entirely one-sided notion of "care" that doesn't make him any more sympathetic.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Evulz's status as a slaveowner is sometimes being portrayed as being atrocious and sometimes isn't/
* '''Averted''': Evulz's status as a slaveowner is not portrayed as notably heinous.
* '''Enforced''': "We need to make Evulz a HateSink, but we can't put [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape]] in a PG-13 movie!" "What about slavery?"
* '''Lampshaded''': "Okay, you lost me at the part where you ''own other human beings!''"
* '''Invoked''': ???
