Odd question. Tons of fantasy settings have slavery or forced servitude.

I mean it was a big thing in middle ages and even latter...so it doesn't make sense to exclude it.

You know those elves who age slowly would probably start enslaving other races.

i dont think, bioshock infinite, tales of arise

in stellaris you can be slaver, same in black desert, palworld too

Skyrim is pretty big on that Elves making slaves of the Nord.

Elves often enough are slaves or such in fantasy.

It doesn't get avoided, no. It also doesn't always have to be addressed, though. Personally I'm good without it.

in a lot of stories inspired by tolkien, they are just an endangered species....even though they would be overpopulating the whole continent

There are more slaves today than at any other point in history.

Gotta get that lithium, diamond, and bananas.

We just like to think the problem went away, because it makes us feel good.

dont think so in ancient time you are forced to work for your lord, so when armed people came in your village you know they want you to build something or going to send you in another country for war and you cant really say no

Final Fantasy 16 featured slavery in a medieval fantasy setting.

That reminds me.

Dragon Age: Origins and The Witcher both touched on racism between species.

Most people are still forced to work for a lord. Don't pay your taxes and bills? You get a warning, then people with weapons will take you from your home and seize your assets.

You have to ask permission to travel, be approved by some appointed official, and armed people will stop you if you don't comply.

You can be drafted and sent off to war, or be jailed if you refuse.

No, our legal system is still very medieval. Because you need a credible threat of violence to force compliance from people. Always have, always will. Thats just what governments do. Only a tiny fraction of people are capable of real cooperation, so for a large group - coercion is much more effective.

In UK, Council Tax.
If someone gets behind / cannot afford it the council will get threatening and act like paying monthly is a privileged (most people pay monthly) prerogative.

They also threaten and sometimes even lie in the letters on the data collection of who you are for their records.
They did this to everybody in my town and one of those things looking back I should have kept the paperwork and brought it to one of the national newspaper's attention.

My problem with council tax is they decide how much money goes to wages for who.
You will have someone getting paid bonuses as well as their salary. One person got over 250k in bonuses and this is acceptable?

Going many years back I had a letter from the council saying how unfair it is that I had not paid because it puts a strain on other people having to pay my way.
- The council at the time had put money into Iceland, remember the big scandal of councils raising taxes because of 'demands put on it by services' yet they could 'invest' money into Iceland scheme which turns out they lost it all anyway.

Yep I got a fair few things to say about Councils and them acting like Lords of the Manor.
