Plagued /r/TNOmod and the Reddit HOI4 modding community - When a subreddit for a video game mod turns to utter insanity

On the Red Flood tism this is what I know and take this with a grain salt for the first part as my info itself is iffy.

So supposedly what happened is Red Flood was made by a bunch of people just wanting to have fun and making a shitpost mod. Even in the opening events they admit its mostly fun and even how our own history can sound strange but did not try to justify the premise other than they wanted it. This is okay. The issue is seemingly like most mods rot came in where some of the old guard left and then the vultures descended on it corpse. These vultures being the leftists they had hired. The reaosn RF took so long to update is their one and only coder who was one of the few left on the old guard got essentially cancelled and banned from the server so they were left without a coder. The mod is now taken over by commies who want to use it as a mouth piece to preach some morale.

How well does this old up? Well I know the coder getting banned was true but the rest seems to fall in line with how things are going when I went to ask them what has changed:

Artaud is becoming less of a meme path but is sliding more into a generic French Hitler. As the ideology becomes more nationalistic and his government made up of irl Vichy collabs and Nazis than the speed meme.

Nazbol Goebbels is being removed as the devs can't stand icky Nazis in their pure ideology.

Before only having the commie lady (Elizabeth Gurley Flynn) in America would cause a collapse since she is retarded and tries to force change without considering others. This has changed that all presidents can collapse since was unfair to the wholesome.

The KKK is like Burgundy-lite to this mod as they don't have paths but will control things in the shadows like a racist illuminati.

Can HOI4 Commies just make their own mods instead of shitting up otherwise decent ones?

I would've assumed RedWorld would have been that mod.

After Kaiser1871 passed away they’re shitting it up with content for small irrelevant nations like Moldova and Yemen. Before he died he was working on German content.

Another thing I noticed with these guys they love writing fanfic for small irrelevant nations while leaving majors barren. The same thing happened with Kaiserreich’s obsession with central american nations no one plays.

I'd say its 50% because the people who make stuff for irrelevant nations tend to be from there and 50% they can make whatever bullshit they want and most people won't know enough to call them on it.

For the sake of this thread's quality and meme archiving, here's the actual CSA event mentioned:

TroonSyndicate.png


The name is contingent on the game's year. What is hilarious about these portrayals is that, in theory, Kaiserreich's socialist regimes descend from Jacobin, Radical, and classic socialist and anarchist traditions. While some of these had already entwined with permissive or supportive stances on LGBT rights, plenty had either ignored this front or in fact taken a stance in opposition to it. It's ironic the 1930s American CSA would reason that free love makes the capitalist system wither away in a context whose real-life counterpart had plenty of socialists suggesting homosexuality was a capitalist malaise (or, simply, a malaise; the key point is that this was a shared prejudice behind doctrine lines that only certain movements took on). In the Europe of the World Wars, even orthodox Marxists, labor leaders... who were rather positive on gay rights could be homophobic in ways we would only call out as much now. This "European concept of Free Love" would hardly be a thing in this timeline of German domination and military syndicalism.

All of this nonsense belongs in the regrettable dumpster of May 1968, which is where these people have their roots as modern leftists. All of these ideas were cultivated, chiefly, in France and West Germany - Eastern Bloc states wouldn't have allowed it for a minute. It's the 50s, 60s and 70s that bring you this rose-tinted, vaguely libertarian socialist spirit. The people who write for all of these alt-his mods are hilariously trying to port it over to a time that would've had little or none of it.

Jack Reed is fat and I would not live under his regime.

But you see, when MY totally fucking stupid and unrealistic political ideology is in power, everything will be perfect*!

*mod quality will certainly not be perfect

No since commies are parasites sorta like we see in stuff like vidya or just modern culture. They need to latch onto popular mods and then shit them up instead of making their own. There's only two I know of that are orignalish made by commies.

One is a Fuhrerreich version of TNO called The Red Order which like how FR was the KR universe trying to think what if the Allies won WW1, Red Order is what if the Allies won WW2 from the TNO POV. The issue I have with it thus far is they try to use this as a wank to make a bigger Warsaw pact ( Finland in in it and there is a split Norway, Greece, China, and Iran similar to DFR and DDR split irl). Japan is communist still for some reason but not in the Warsaw pact copy (Americans still nuked and occupied them but was okay with them going commie cause lol). And the Americans are in a different faction from the British and French since Britain and France are 69ning each other on being heckin unwholesome to all the brown people in Africa.

The other is "Spartakus a World in Revolution" in which 90% of Europe is communist. Chief among them Germany and Russia both go socialist. Not else is known about this one aside from this.

Even Marx and Engles compared homosexuals to pedophiles and just brushed them off as perverts. Even the Spanish anarchists the basis for a lot of anarchist and libsoc thought, viewed them as nothing more than sick in the head and then of course there is Stalin. and the Soviets which is enough said. There's countless others too be it Allende to Che but a lot of these idiots are delusional and suffer from cognitive dissonance.

For example to bring this back to TNO Gus Hall would once do a Lavander Scare since he finds out that Hoover is a faggot and he uses his stance on faggots to even win some of the conservative elements of American society. A lot of TNO faggot started screeching on how could the commie be mean to homosexuals since they would probably vote for him. Despite this was in line with their views at the time. Even the VERY liberal and libertarian only started to somewhat become pro faggot in the 90s.

But yes its an issue they often have with just uplifting shit from other time periods and inserting it into whatever they are writing about. For example Second West Russian War submod is now called Brave New World and has other content and one of them is Yockey doing a January 6th coup with the KKK which what its based on you can probably guess.

Super events and their consequences have been a disaster for hoi4 modding

I think this particular super event is kinda cool and unique but besides that the trans nick land with DIY estrogen in the MSN search results...

Super events are a cheap and easy tool to garner hype and attention to your mod with very little work.
