For some context, this was a :reddit-logo: thread talking about old dnd settings and whether or not they should bring Kara-Tur back. There were plenty of shitty racist takes in the thread, but comparing the existence of christianity in europe to the brutality that african/asian/south american countries experienced during colonialism seemed especially bad.
Oh definitely, I'm not saying Romans weren't colonizers or anything, I just think that trying to compare the colonization of europe over a thousand years ago and the colonization of a lot of other area by europe that basically still haven't ended seems pretty bad.
