Economic slavery has been a large part of human history for millennia. It is a part of a very large number of sci-fi universes. So are many other very evil things.

There are many items in stock SE4 that could be said to be just as, if not far more, insensitive. Conditions damaging bombs are insensitive to the Japanese that had atomic bombs dropped on them in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Plague bombs are insensitive to the native American tribes that had diseased blankets given to them to so that they would be infected and die by the US military. Hell, they are insensitive to all native Americans, due to Europeans bringing various diseases over to the Americas, wiping out 90% of the native populations. Napalm bombs are insensitive to the people that had friends and/or family killed in any of dozens of cities that had napalm dropped on them to set them on fire and kill civilians during World War II. Stellar manipulation devices that destroy stars or planets, create black holes, etc. are extremely insensitive, as they are weapons of extreme mass destruction. Should we remove all of these things too?
