Other colonies did similar things but he took it way too far. Even if you argue negligence it still wouldn't absolve him of anything.

most accusations were british propaganda , no reputable historian considers what he did genocidal

It's funny how according to some sources he killed the entire population a few times over

The Congo Free State was a philanthropic endeavor for sake of the Congolese people. How DARE you cast aspersions on my emperor of the great and benevolent Belgian empire. Shame on you blaming the loss Congolese appendages on Belgian colonists rather than Congolese overindulgence of Belgian chocolates and resulting type 2 diabetes.

You mean the firsthand accounts of persons of varying national allegiances? I also don't recall that poster saying "genocidal" though "brutal" would be absolutely appropriate.
