One of the worst things about the people who defend this game’s whitewashing of the holocaust and ‘evil=cool’ aesthetics is that they base it on the fact that the game wouldn’t be fun/would ‘glorify violence’. Maybe don’t make ww2 a game, or if you really fucking want to, do not allow the player to play as Germany. And if that’s not enough for you, you still want to have your fun, then do a better job at it. TNO does a good better job at showing how evil the Nazis were without making it not fun

    they also explicitly added decisions to sell uranium to the highest bidder and focuses that sell Congolese gold and diamonds to fund Belgian reconstruction. both of these things are portrayed as buffs/ positive for the Congo. they also added the ability for Belgium to alter their colonial policy up to annexing and coring the Congo in a few months, ez pz. every single focus tree they add outside of the main area of WW2 is just creating save bloat, and of course paradox has to create racist and historically illiterate save bloat. don’t even get me started on what they did to rosa in this new dlc

    This DLC also whitewashes all the Nazi higher ups too. Himmler and Goring are just sitting in your inner circle, giving your nation nice buffs :). Don’t worry about them, they’re just normal historical figures :)
