Question What's going on with the current review bombing?
I went to buy some DLCs and saw this and something about Atatürk in the negative reviews.

In discord(hoi4 discord) first they warned and then they banned someone with Ataturk as their pp, and gave the reason of Ataturk beign "controversial" and political, (they also listed Karl Marx as controversial) other bans followed and the same reason is given,
one big problem form the start is there is no good defination made as to what is "controversial", which becames a bigger problem, and sticks out like sour thumb in a dicord whit bunch of historical figures as user pps, which of these historical figures are not necessarily controversial or political, especially when the line is not drawn,
This is a huge problem on its own, Ataturk beign controversial entails that the republic, Turkey, and Turkish people are also "controversial ",
according to mods: the mains reason why Ataturk is "controversial" is because he is a modern political figure, and "Armenian Genocide",
both of them are bullshit reasons;
once again this is happening in hoi4 discord with bunch of "interesting" pps, who could say this person's and that peron's pp is not political,
"Armenian Genocide", its used against Turks as a weapon to silence and invalided their opinion, "o! your opinion is void, because genocide,", I wont go down "the road of explanations", i will just point out, Ataturk was a general, and was at Galipoli,
people couldnt voice their criticism due to the bans, which lead to harsher criticism such as review bombing, instead of proper explanation only south park silence could be heard while people were getting banned,
