So basically the DM created a world with a natural disaster incoming, and the players decided to instead destroy the indigenous nation, install a new puppet leader that adheres to Western values and voting rights, and ensure gay marriage is legalized even though homosexuality was tolerated in this society, just marriage was a civil and financial issue and not necessarily related.
Who's worse? The DM, or the imperialist players?
Literally doing the same shit the CIA would, and people wonder why this shit happens. It's a bunch of fucks who think that their Western values translate to every culture and is more important than respecting their sovereignty.
