That's all true, but as far as I remember, Karlsson's Gambit does use the sick brother's predicament as part of the explicitly femdom fetish, does it not? (Mind you, I'm arguing for lakano here. I myself was annoyed at: 1) the tear-jerking nature of such plots/dominations; 2) the ability to control multiple characters.)Not even considering, that in case of literature those narrative tools are used as either to hit home the critique of said circumstances or used to make a character-development plot plausible.
On the other hand, you have Estate: Dominate which pushes the main character into slavery over his dead parents, IIRC, but they're merely part of the background, rarely mentioned. I wonder what lakano's take would be on it. (I finished the latest build yesterday, btw, quite nice execution, but I yearn for the continuation!)
But you will also have people who reject a particular kind of story on principle. Just like those feminists who try to shove their lies into historical/fantasy depictions of women which they cannot bare if they are misogynist/realistic. Maybe, lakano is of that variety. "If it's fiction, it should be pleasant." - Although pleasantries might be found precisely in analyzing such predicaments!
