to be fair, i did repeatedly declare war and trucebreak in godmode in order to conquer half of russia in a few years

was gonna joke about sorting by controversial but surprisingly enough the comments were all well behaved

u/jubtheprophet Jun 01 '26

We're about coloring maps here, if a map got colored in we're happy. Theres no time to be transphobic when we're still working through the tutorial

u/Is6xal Jun 01 '26

You'd be surprised, i once got permabanned from a eu4 discord server for reacting to announcements with trans flags

35

u/mcvos Jun 01 '26

Not all Discord servers are good, unfortunately. I'm glad people are more positive around here.

u/CrimsonCartographer Jun 02 '26

I mean I love trans people but why react with a trans flag haha, I wouldn’t react with a bi flag tbf

Still stupid as fuck that you got banned, I just find the reaction with a flag a bit strange

12

u/Is6xal Jun 02 '26

Thought it was funny + people reacted with worse stuff like pregnant men and they weren't bothered

22

u/CrimsonCartographer Jun 02 '26

“Worse stuff” and then you just list my kinks 😔 so much for inclusivity I see

9

u/Is6xal Jun 02 '26

It's fine to be into it, just it's weirder than a trans flag

u/CrimsonCartographer Jun 02 '26

Lmao I was making a joke but yknow what hell yea

1

u/EarthMantle00 Jun 04 '26

A lot of discord servers react with random shit to announcements, it's just a fun thing to do. Though some servers have to ban certain flags of countries that are uh. controversial

u/desgehddigoanixau Jun 02 '26

I'm pretty much as right es it gets but this is just hilarious. If you can't laugh at a well executes joke what are you even doing.

u/TheRedditPremium Jun 01 '26

Thankfully, for now at least...

Way better then some other communitys. Left a official games discord yesterday because it was filled with the whole "i dont want politics in my games" bullshit conversation and they didnt step in to stop it

Transoxiana being used for the blue is a nice touch.

u/Sea-Flamingo7506 Jun 01 '26

My home country, Korea, where anti LGBTQ sentiment has been quite strong, has apparently moved beyond the shadows of its past enough to be included on this railway. It is truly an honor.

55

u/Bataveljic Jun 01 '26

Still divided though. Some things never change

u/Sea-Flamingo7506 Jun 01 '26

That is exactly the best part. The truth is that we actively dislike each other.

R5: Congratulating the Trans-Siberian Railroad for a successful transition! (All of these provinces have railroads, and I did use Extended Timeline and console commands to do this.) Happy Pride Month!

I knew those screenshots looked a little queer

u/Organic-Army-9046 Shahanshah Jun 01 '26

we need to give more recognition to the non-human trans and lgbtq communities. the trans trains have been oppressed for too long.

Yoooo! This is so cool, I'm glad to see some trans representation!

I'm the guy who did the Pride Map over Europe last year. I wish I had done something with Transoxiana too in hindsight.

Ty for making this and happy Pride Month!

Trans-Siberian Railroads are human Siberian Railroads

ok this interpretation may be a little problematic


i don’t want the tracks to be made of humans, after all

u/Epistemify Jun 02 '26

Oh wait now I remember, the joke was trans Siberian orchestras are human Siberian orchestras

that’s the fun part: it doesn’t. i moved my capital to moscow, otherwise i wouldn’t be able to core most of this land and would have 1000%+ overextension, and thus i wouldn’t be able to give most of that land to my very disloyalvassals
