if you're capable of literally ripping someone -- who is enslaved and literally has no choice but to fight you --to peices with your bare hands...you could have just knocked them out to rescue them.
There comes a certain point where your completely overpowered character is simply not fucking allowed to kill people "in self defense" anymore because it's not actual self defence. It's just plain old murder. And if you are killing these people by literally dismembering them while they're still alive, you're just pure evil.
Martha Wells with The Murderbot Diaries really just wants to do slavery apologism rather than do the "cliche" of freeing robots from slavery.
Pro tip, Martha Wells, if you don't want to do the "cliche" of robot rebellions against slavery...maybe don't fucking create a setting where robots are enslaved. No one forced you to write this series. No one is forcing you to keep defending slavery and defending the murder of slaves by your completely overpowered Mary Sues who we all know are literally never under any actual real threat at all.
It doesn't require seven books to actually give a shit about slavery within your setting and actually take it seriously. If you don't want to treat slavery like the serious fucking thing it is, then don't write about it.
