Tbf they've already had colonial mass conquest and genocide covered several games ago

It feels like a rather natural development. They did allow you to drug your own populations in Stellaris. So why not export it to others as well?

I haven't played Victoria 3 yet (I've played 2 though), but why not? If you're playing with the past as imperial Britain or any country with a colonial empire or slavery, you should feel that you're actively playing as "the villains", and hurting your very soul in doing so. Just like if you played as the Nazis in Hearts of Iron. It's important that history isn't romanticised because it was dark and extremely messed up - just like the present. How are you meant to understand or help build a better world if you don't understand that?

@@antiochus87 Indeed. Better to have all the facts and understand the context of historical evils to prevent them in future.

@@snelhestarna Wait.. what? You can.. drug your population in Stellaris..?

@@vapaus831this is weird historical revisionism opium was understood to be a destructive and destabilizing addictive narcotic which is why the Qing emperor banned its import in 1796.

@@vapaus831 yes, both statements can be true. There are people who use and sell drugs like cocaine now, that doesn’t mean that we don’t know these narcotics are addictive and dangerous. My point is the Qing government knew that opium was dangerous in part due to the large growing population of addicts which was incredibly destabilizing which is why they banned it. Just everything you said is factually untrue. Opium became quite widespread in China which was the problem and why it became banned. The British most definitely knew it was addictive which is why they were pushing it heavily and fought two wars to force the Chinese market open. The Chinese didn’t want to open trade with the British at all, but the selling of opium creates a captive market due to its addictive quality which made it a reliable and profitable way to force Chinese demand for British goods. And opium was definitely a known drug before the 19th century its been used since the time of the Romans.
