I mean its a pretty shitty thing to do to someone if they don't really deserve it. You're stripping someone, covering them in boiling pine tar, causing 2nd and third degree burns across most of their body, and then attaching feathers so they can't get it off. They chance of getting infection and dying are huge. Add to this its use against slaves and black freedmen and it's a bad look.
