Equal area projections usually preserve straight and perpendicular meridians and parallels. That’s neutral but then there’s the political decision of what latitude gets the correct aspect ratio. And Gall-Peters is not anti-colonialist if representing Africa correctly was your goal.

Essentially this. A true sized projection, it can be in any “cut” of the globe as long as all the continents are true to size.
