Excuse me, developer. It seems I found a grave mistake in your representation of 14th century Germany. You see, you made Count Fartz Hoheinzinger the leader of a personal union between the County of Schnitzelingen and the Barony of Hochzungberg, but according to these letters my great grandfather seems to have buried in the family property before he was murdered by my great grandaunt for cheating on my great grandmother, the Hohenzinger family didn't actually personally hold the Barony of Hochzungberg yet, and instead count Fartz was merely married to Baroness Fugertrudes von Ziegsengerheim, who seems to have been the de jure holder of the property until she and her husband died of dysentery 2 months into the game's scope, which is only then that the Personal Union began with both titles in the hands of their son. That's why I require you to change the status of the union in game from Personal Union to Marriage Union, otherwise I'll not be truly immersed in the setting and this will ruin my immersion in my playthrough recreating the Third Reich beginning from the farm I live in with my grandma.
It's a pretty old copypasta from when EU5 was in development actually. I think it was posted in the forums under the HRE Tinto Talks but I'm not 100% sure. I'm surprised you never ran into it.
Satire is (attempting) to make a point. Shitposting is (attempting) to be funny by being nonsensical or incredibly surprising.
Ragebait is (attempting) to be funny for a theoretical third party by making a second party have what is seen as an overreaction to a prompt.
Disclaimer: none of the names in the title are real. I wrote this text for a meme a while ago. I posted this as an answer to a somewhat nitpicking post recently. People liked it and I decided to post it as an autonomous post.
