Reminds me when a group of leftists making a HOI4 mod about an alt history American civil war in the 60s (Bring the War Home) tried to interview Raymond Luc Levasseur for research, and the HOI4 community absolutely lost their shit because "he's a terrorist". The mod got kicked out of a modding co-op, essentially getting embargoed from the modding community at large, and I think the lead dev have to resign because of it.
This is despite the fact that HOI4 community love to make mod that platforms even the most insanely obscure Nazis and dredges up their near-forgotten manifestos and basically publishes them in their mod for the sake of "content" and "accuracy". Just look at TNO* literally digging up multiple hyperobscure Russian fascists and conducting deep research into the forgotten corners of the Russian internet to get their writings. And of course, there's the level of insane detail they gave to the famous Nazis.
* fun fact: PinkPanzer literally consulted :funny-clown-hammer: when writing leftism in the mod
They never teach you about the cool shit in highschool history. Probably because "We stole two years of this guys life for Marijuana and then he basically became real-life batman fighting against Apartheid" would have teenagers rooting for the wrong side.
lmao of course Paradox players normally love these kinds of ironic alt histories, just not when it hits a little too close to home.
