Columbus was pretty awful even for an European, even other Europeans were surprised by his cruelty which is wh the Spanish removed him from power, arrested him and kicked him out of the Americas. Queen Isabella I, while being a racist and a monarch, did grant most natives citizenship and freedom.

Yeah he's awful compared to a typical european, but is he awful compared to the other conquistador types like Cortez or Pizarro? Anyone who leads a mercenary army is going to be an asshole.

Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
