You can't because of todays tribalized political culture.
And you shouldn't because slavery is a primal element of the human experience going back to the first tribal pre-agrarian culture. Does anybody think the Neanderthal genes we all bear, to one extent or another, were acquired in a quiet romantic dinner? For that matter, latter day Neanderthals bore spiens genes from an earlier sapiens wave.

Slaves have always been with us, whether called slaves, serfs, helots, indentured servants, forced laborers, or whatever. And there are nore people enslaved today than at any time in history.

There was a recent twitter storm over a fantasy YA book in a fantasy world that featured an anti-slavery theme but didn't conform to the...accepted model (?)... so the online torches and pitchforks came out.

So no, you can't "diversify" slavery narratives because you either conform to the "accepted" meme or are historically accurate and thus, non-diverse by the current yardstick.
One meme to rule them all.
