Since Junimos provide unpaid labor to the player in exchange for an initial lump-sum payment to a third party, many have argued that the usage of Junimos constitutes a form of modern-day slavery.

Defenders of the Junimo economy contend that Junimos are grateful to the player for restoring Stardew Valley and that they are even happy to work for the player; however, Junimo rights advocates point out the remarkable similarity of these claims to historic Transatlantic slave trade apology.
