History YMMV / RedFlood

* CompleteMonster: [[OmnicidalManiac The Avatar]], born Maximiani Julia Portas (and better known in OTL as Savitri Devi, the name she took after converting to Hinduism), proves herself to be a psychotic megalomaniac even without the influence of Nazism. Taking advantage of the chaos that erupts if Winston Churchill fails to maintain control of [[Characters/RedFloodIndia the United Provinces]], the Avatar and her followers would attempt to seize control for themselves. If successful, they will place the United Provinces under the rule of a Kali-worshipping death cult legalizing HumanSacrifice and [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalism]], while conscripting anyone they could find, even children, to fight for them under the threat of the massacre of their families. Upon unifying India, the Avatar will declare war on the rest of the world, seeking to destroy the world utterly and remake it [[InTheirOwnImage in her own twisted image]].

* AluminumChristmasTrees:

** Quite a few people who were not previously aware of some of the historical personae that Red Flood props up into power are surprised that quite a few of the paths, including the less sane ones, are accurately representing the views of these people in real life.

*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUzsVPct0yM The L'État Irréel Superevent]][[labelnote:Explanation]]This superevent was known to set the penultimate stage for the game (or at least Accelerationist France) as Artaud makes the nation "declare war" on "the concept of reality". It has become one of the most infamous aspects of the mod both because of the storytelling and [[HellIsThatNoise for the sheer auditory assault it brings to the player.]][[/labelnote]]

* MemeticMutation:
** Anything relating to '''S P E E D''' when describing Accelerationist France. In particular, the description of one of the final focuses of the Escadron path in pre-French rework ([[MadnessMantra FASTER FASTER FASTER FASTER FASTER FASTER]]) is a common quotation whenever Accelerationism in general is brought up. Once again, this has crept into other memes involving other ''[=HoI=] IV'' mods.

** ''[[https://www.reddit.com/r/RedFloodMod/comments/hoaacb/i_thought_i_seen_everything_this_mod_can_give_me/ The Italian Shogunate]]''.[[note]]The country was later renamed "Greater Italian State"[[/note]]
** Centrist Hitler. While still authoritarian, Hitler's main goal was for Austria to remain independent of the Futuristic France and Communist Germany. Naturally, this has crept into other memes involving other ''[=HoI=] IV'' mods.

** Say what you will about Gabriele d'Annunzio and [[FromNobodyToNightmare Fiume]] as a whole, but the country truly mourns him when he dies, with the description of the first National Focus after his death detailing how there would be [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness "No poem today"]] and a completely blank description for the next National Focus.
