Sometimes I think Paradox whitewashes the Axis in HoI, but then I'm thankful that there is no button or reference to genocide because you just know there would be tons of videos going "Using Hitler's strategy and WINNING WWII!"
Honest question: why did we accept the nickname Holodomor? Why don't we have catchy nicknames for the actually genocidal famines that the British did in their colonies? Why is it the "Belgian Congo atrocities" and not, idk, the "belgienocide" or the "capitalist turbo hand-cutter 3000"?
We don't and shouldn't. Accepting that name is literally Holocaust denial because that was its purpose — to minimize genocide by making a fictional one so that they can call us genocide deniers instead of them.
I'm surprised they didn't have Yeonmi Park make up some catchier name for the Arduous March to be honest...
The fact that it has a translation doesn't make it less of a nickname. That's like saying the name "Raphael" isn't actually a name because it means "healing of the lord" in Hebrew

if the game had it, it'll also have the holodomore or someshit

It's not a nickname, that literally translates as massive famine

I deleted the comment for a reason. You are replying to long deleted comment.
Doesn't appear to me as deleted but sure
Most likely only reason it doesn't have the Holodomor is because it didn't take place during ww2
Iirc it starts in1936, it would definitely had it if earlier.
