The \\\"Fandom Rivalry\\\" entry on the YMMV page is transparently slanted towards Kaiserredux, and honestly it\\\'s little more than a complaint about TNO at best or an outright insult at worst. It\\\'s sleazy, petty, and below the belt.

\\\"The relationship between the fandom of TNO and Kaiserredux is comparable to a blood feud. Fans and developers of the latter usually dislike the former\\\'s focus on narrative and mini-games to the detriment of standard Hearts of Iron gameplay and the tendency of its fans to \\\'claim\\\' obscure figures that rarely appear in alternate history, like Sergey Taboritsky, Francis Parker Yockey and Alexander Kazembeknote as theirs (and calling their appearance in other alt-history media \\\'TNO references\\\'). In turn, TNO fans and developers have a habit of insulting KX, which happens almost daily on the former\\\'s Discord server (with the insults themselves often having little basis in reality; a common one is accusing the latter of stealing its constituent submods, even though the developers of said submods are also members of the KX team).\\\"

It opens with presenting KX\\\'s grievances against TNO legitimately: TNO apparently has annoying fans, its game mechanics and lack of standard HOI4 mechanics use are suspect, and in general presents the KX side of this \\\"fandom rivalry\\\" as being entirely legitimate. Meanwhile, in explaining the TNO side, it presents them as insulting, annoying fanboys who make untrue accusations about Kaiserredux.

I don\\\'t see any reason why a fan of a different mod ranting about a different mod on that mod\\\'s YMMV page should be kept, and if that could be redacted or made less obviously trolly that would be great.
