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

A new TNO Japan rework proposal has been leaked https://files.catbox.moe/9320n5.pdf
Not much changed. Takagi is now a failstate instead of his own path. Part of the Japening white-washing Japan is portrayed as more akin to the authdem and despot ideology then fascism and natsoc. I am mostly sad we will never see Kishi order 44 see the light of day. Hell they replaced order 44 with Muto and they said its only since they hate Kishi and will be replacing it... which is what they are doing. TNO at least is basically rebuilding itself from scratch again. A mod of Theseus.
Honestly the best course if action is to just restore the cut paths and give Order 44 content. Additional paths can be locked behind post China war outcomes.

Japan is probably one of the more poorly coded tags, so that probably has something to do with how stagnant development was for it, even early on.
 
Hello, first of all, don't worry, I am not a Groidper, I have it in my name as a joke.

Anyways, I am here to talk about another topic: silly effects of the TNO USA CRAs, each level of the CRA increases both stability and daily political power gain, these are the statistics of the two most radical possible CRAs:

Radical:
Daily PP gain: +0.10.
Stability: +10%.
Miscellaneous Costs (as % GDP): +2.00%.

Revolutionary:
Daily PP gain: +0.15%
Stability: +10%.
Miscellaneous Costs (as % GDP): +2.00%.

If you know of the fact that forced bussing (included in both acts) had a 75-80% disapproval rating in Gallup polls of the time, and was controversial even amongst liberals (for instance, Louise Marie Hicks had a quite successful career in Massachussets, a very liberal state and the only one to vote for George McGovern in 1972,) you would know that the increasing stability boosts from token to radical CRA are nonsensical. The OTL CRA already permanently changed the demographic composition of American cities, and the wave of black crime and overall dysfunction that followed, many people uprooted their own lives at great cost to themselves to avoid this ("white flight"). Now imagine a more radical one which explicitly includes forced bussing, and in the case of the revolutionary CRA, the also unpopular massive affirmative action/anti-white discrimination programs (which are illegal under a straightforward reading of the OTL 1964 CRA) that go far beyond what LBJ implemented IOTL. See the attached picture about a Harvard sociologist discovering the surprising (sarcasm) finding that bussing (ending "de facto segregation" by sending kids from [informally, Boston never had de jure segregation] black neighborhoods to schools in white ones and vice-versa) made race relations worse.

Anyways, my theory for why the TNO devs added nonsensical positive effects to these überlibtard laws is that they are afraid of giving negative effects to progressive legislation.

And also, the Massachussets program in question was voluntary, now imagine how a nationwide mass forced bussing program through the CRA would be received.

Tbf an imaginary headshot of Maisie in a cheerleading uniform is extremely mild by the standards of coombait (HOI4-related and otherwise), the alarms of unacceptability are only going to start sounding off for me if we get insanely long chains of lesbian events written by troons like in TNO or uncomfortably close shots of her & Dana's feet.
 
Tbf an imaginary headshot of Maisie in a cheerleading uniform is extremely mild as far as HOI4-related coombait goes, the alarms of unacceptability are only going to start sounding off for me if we get insanely long chains of lesbian events written by troons like in TNO or uncomfortably close shots of her & Dana's feet.
Call me a schizo, but it all starts out small.

Not in HOI4 mods they don't, which I'll chalk up to the unsubtle turbo-autism & terminal onlineness of the people usually involved in this sort of thing. IIRC TNO had those Ural & British lesbian event chains by Pacifica in as early as their first public releases, even as early as the Southern Urals demo in the case of the former.

If anything I'm surprised it actually took this long (past the entire first chapter & 4 short side-stories) for even this little bit of fanservice to start leaking through, doubly especially because this story's illustrated in a manga style and that normally draws gooners in like honey with extra sugar piled on attracts flies.
 
The 5th TFR manga short is out already, these have been dropping as quickly as nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the Atomwaffen ending this week.

Ja, I regret to inform you, I actually read the events & literature I see before me. Even the entartete kunst, got to help Ziegler determine what's fit for his public exhibitions after all.

A possible explanation for it is that in the TNO timeline (probably IRL as well) the African population and their leftist allies would grow a lot more restless in their advancement of the issue leading to more protests, boycott, riots and potentially an IRA like insurgency campaign as the government does nothing or even makes it worse thus reducing stability. Leftist politicians and bureaucrats would also firmly protest the issue explaining the reduction in political power gain.

If this happens its your fault and we're allowed to kill you.

Next chapter they get sent to the southern front to fight New Afrika and the black belt revolt.

You know well that this is the natural evolution of any autist who enjoys history and drawing Japanese Cartoons. Artists like Centaurii make a fat buck by making lesbian Roman empresses kiss the Praetorian Guard, and I won't say anything about more modern examples because Lesbian Azov raping a Russian conscript is too much mental illness for me already.
 
TFR, TNO and the normal game has frankly turned into a full radicalisation centre for National Socialists. I'm not opposed to this at all, I just thought it is interesting that these mods are actively radicalising people past any old Nazi ideas of marching and wearing uniforms (NSM) to youth radical groups a lot quickly than I ever did (AWD).
Saw a post of James Mason the other day on TikTok, and they all know and support him from the TFR.

Localisation and GFX for Events following the establishment of Red Italy, along with the restoration of events that were cut, is subject to change.

I've been working on localisation for events following the establishment of Red Italy as well as restoring further cut content regarding Italy and other Mediterranean nations the past few days. I'm hoping to showcase more in a subsequent post.
