The article gets a bunch of stuff wrong, but whatever. They banned me and it ended up embarrassing their company internationally.

Whites only mod for the human civilizations.

The funny thing was, it wasn't initially my intention to get rid of the other races completely.

I wanted to reduce them to a small percentage, in order to give a more Star Trek-like feel. But Paradox was very lazy and didn't implement any percentages, or any way to match names with skin color either. So you ended up with absurd amounts of colored people, as well as white people with names like Umbongo Matombe or whatever. Because of this, I just deleted the nonwhite phenotypes entirely.

What they interpreted as "disturbing" racism was just me wanting a 90s sci fi experience.

LMAO, that was you? Haha, small world. I actually used that one. Not for long cuz I didn't stay with the game for long but yeah it was in my load order for the time I did play.

There were two of them, iirc. Mine was the one that got banned. The other guy persisted a while and a lot of news outlets thought he was me, but they banned him too eventually. Then someone did phenotype splitting mods which may have gotten banned too, I don't remember. They also shadowbanned some Space German mod.

Out of all the platforms I've been banned from for wrongthink, this was the most satisfying. My low-effort mod being banned turned into headlines. Trump being elected later that year was icing on the cake. What a time to be alive.

Should have done whites-only and blacks-only mods and released at the same time, as a social test.

People did that. IIRC, they left them up for a while and then banned them. Of course, nowadays, I'm sure only the white ones would get banned.

The one they left up was the mod that had all of them separated by a single mod. So you have to take space wakanda and space china along with your space Europe. Whatever you use in-game is up to you, but it wasn't a mod whose exclusive purpose was to let you play as whites.

Anyone got an idea where in the game files can I edit thrall world pop growth speed? Presently it is woefully lacking.
