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

No, he just had it unlisted, along with most of his videos:

I found him from the comments of this music video, where he said listening to it is bannable:

Speaking of Nakam, is Kovner still in the game or did they remove him for realism?

Panzer's youtube profile now:

Lol, Viva La Vida Pink Panzer.

Well there goes the 1000 death events they coded for no fucking reason other than Nazi pedophile rapist bad.

Yes he's a sick twisted fuck, but there's no need to code and waste time on 1000 events.

(Did Panzer take his channel down? He had a video showcasing them all.)

Its very ironic that through getting some kind of weird revenge by making up a million ways for him to die they only ended up making him more known and then what ends up killing his content is a rework and not "we want to stop people memeing about this genuinely awful person".

Don't get me started on Kaiserreich's weird Mosley humiliation event chain. If Mosley fails to take power whenever they update the UoB and make their meme ideology government even more retarded his wife divorces him because he is and was a serial womanizer, he loses all political reputation, and probably ends up offing himself or fading into irrelevency.

Why code all these events? Because he was an evil person in real life, he was a vile fascist racist (Even though the BUF was firmly pro-British and many BUF members and supporters helped evacuate soldiers from Dunkirk).

A lot of these dev teams seem to have no grasp on actual politics and just see things divided into camps. Enoch Powell used to be the collab leader of England in TNO just because he opposed mass immigration to Britain, and before him it was Mosley.

Another thing with Kaiserreich is how they reworked Edward VIII in the Canada update. Not only did they make him 100% consistent with his real-life playboy nature, but completely paralleled the abdication crisis. Prior to the update you could construct a reasonable narrative of Edward grasping the realities of his situation and becoming a serious governing king, and the devs could have tapped into that given some of his passing interest in real life with regards to the conditions miners were working in in real life.

While Nazi sympathies and the Wallace Simpson issue were the public reasons for his forced abdication, a lot of biographers do think that the fact he was very opinionated on matters and might have exercised more authorities than British monarchs were supposed to could have been an interesting idea. Just imagine putting time into giving all the potential monarchs some flavor and flair, instead of copying over historical events. It's really sad seeing how much of a missed opportunity that was.

As far as I know TNO had only 5-10 events, rest of them were cut out. Which is shame, those events were part of TNO's "soul" and I found some of them amusing (like the one where Oskar realizes he is in a video game or fights a sledgehammer wielding babushka) . I hoped TNO would move more in that direction and become a grimdark absurdist comedy, but the opposite happened and everything I liked was removed or "reworked"

I still feel bad for Panzer, he worked for nearly five years on that mod only for it to become so mind numbingly mid.

 

[OMCK]

I still cannot fathom how no one stopped Panzer or the England team from making Enoch Powell not just a collaborationist, but the figurehead of them all.

This was a man who thought himself a fighter for the British Empire more than the Allies as a whole, to the point he desired to fight in South East Asia against the Japanese even though the war was almost over. A man who resented the European Communities Act as a terrible, unnatural loss of sovereignty, even though these were wilful, limited concessions to join an international organization. A man whose conservative critique of Labour and socialism in general hinged on pushing back statism in every sense. A man who was all about traditional British institutions and preferred them over foreign doctrines and models.

How in fuck would this person ever accept to lead a puppet regime under the foreign, heinous totalitarian state that not only dismembered the British Empire, but also dismembered the very United Kingdom in its own isles as well? I don't sympathize with Powell or his views much, but I sure don't make a mod pissing on them. Glad they scrapped the concept early enough.​

How in fuck would this person ever accept to lead a puppet regime under the heinous totalitarian state that had the British Empire painfully dismembered? The combination almost seems designed to give him a good scare. I don't even sympathize with Powell or his views much, but I sure don't make a mod pissing on them. Glad they scrapped the concept soon enough.​

Its rather simple. All they see is bad conservative man and nothing else, his actual poltics and beliefs? Irrelevent because he will be what the mod team whats him to be even though there are more reasonable choices (off the top of my head Lord Halifax).

My guess is this: they knew Powell from his populist crusade about immigration and barely thought about it.

Another thing I'm thinking, Moja, is why the Nazis would pick Powell of all people. If they wanted a regime of subservience or near-identical ideology, they should've gone for the countless literally-who Germanophile fascists that probably tried to put something together in the 1930s. If they wanted a government with some semblance of nationhood and legitimacy, they should've picked any of the far more prominent Conservatives, or perhaps some important name beyond party politics altogether. I can't remember if TNO lore shook this up, but OTL, Powell in the 1950s was just a backbench MP. It's literally one of the last places I'd look.​

Let the British Imperial League basically Oswalt Mosley hated this guy and worked with the British government to take him down for being more of a Nazi than he was
These people have no understanding of History or the inner War period whatsoever
It's like people who put George Lincoln Rockwell is the leader of the American occupation government that makes absolutely no sense he was a fighter plane pilot in the Navy he would probably be dead or leading the American resistance.
Cuz Rockwell first love the United States over all other things

I'm not sure about Powell's situation in TNO apart from him being part of the HMMLR and popular enough to be leading a faction in the post-civil war NDL which is weird because he really didn't do anything noteworthy until the 60's so its a bit out of place for him to have such popularity.

Its why I said Lord Halifax, he was by no means a bootlicker but there is plenty he did that wouldn't make it a stretch to see him be an acceptable leader for the Germans and an experience enough parliamentarian to be able to lead a party.

For a British Quisling, I've always found William Joyce AKA Lord Haw-Haw to be a good candidate, but I can't recall a single person who has ever brought him in as such.

Didn't he also operate as a propagandist in Germany during the war and the allies executed him for that? He would have been a reasonable candidate. I could also see Major General J. F. C. Fuller becoming a Philip Petain like figure in a collaborationist Britain.

Maybe Panzer just realized he got outplayed, and is now attempting to follow in Pacificas man-sized footsteps, hoping he'll get a Paradox gig the same way.

Because these devs don't do any research both because they're lazy and they think doing research and knowing this stuff makes you a Yahtzee. You could explain the differences between Italian fascism and Francoism but they would retain nothing from it all.

He wasn't even a British citizen though. Irish by ancestry but he was born and in Burgerland before moving over to the Emerald Isle and later Britain before going to Krautland and doing anti-British propaganda because he never dropped the accent. Hardly the guy you'd want in charge of Britain.

He was involved in the BUF and founded the British "National Socialist League" in 1937. Not to mention his seeming popularity with the Nazis too. Sure, he is hardly a good figure to be in direct head, but a puppet Britain won't actually be ruled by him but the German ambassador. If nothing else, I would expect Joyce to at least have decently high ranking within a puppet England than anything else.

Panzer realized a cis man being the founder of this mod is too unrealistic for the universe so he removed his genitals for “future reworks”

I will never understand how Thatcher became part of England government when her family helped jews during the war.

 

[RA-5C Vigilante]

I will never understand how Thatcher became part of England government when her family helped jews during the war.

Because Thatcher had a (C) next to her name, and also evilly crushed the Coal Unions and went hard against the IRA, totally not the fact that the Coal Unions were fucking retards and did a strike that no one supported, not even many of their own members, and the IRA was busy killing innocent people and children.

She also kept Labour from winning in the 80's and stopped the UK becoming a socialist paradise, and it was all her fault and not the fact the Labour party during that decade was incompetently run, with their printed party plan/manifesto in '83 being called the "longest suicide note in history" because it was so out of touch and shitty.

Tl;Dr, Conservative woman bad, and really bad because people still like her more than the devs shitty IRL politicians they stan for.
