It’s interesting that the imperialist/colonialist setup of adventurers heading into an area and rampaging through against the “evil” denizens gets such a pass here.
Someone brought up the polytheistic nature of these settings - which generally seem heavily sanitized. I’m not recalling any famous modules having to do with religious wars in D&D which I’m quite sure would actually happen with gods that have demonstratable real world power attributable to them. Maybe the Cataclysm from Dragonlance, it’s been a long time since I read that.
Somewhat related, other than rumblings about unfortunate goblin or dwarven analogs,I believe Jews are completely absent from these medieval European settings, probably related to the sanitized polytheism angle above.
