"What." You've just been witness to something so bizarre, so eye-crossingly stupid (or possibly so mind-crushingly terrifying as to put you beyond the capacity for rational thought), that your brain no longer has the cognitive faculties to put together a more articulate response.
That's my response to your post.
- Think of it this way. You were trying to say "WTF" with the emphasis on "F", but your brain short-circuited before getting to "The".
Oh, and to this:
"Its incredibly hard, will probably fail much as OTL, and so it does fail much like OTL." is not up there with...well, as you put it "everyone being under the impression that the Unionists are ten times as fanatical as the average Japanese pilot in 1944 and will automatically slaughter every Catholic in Ulster and then completely repulse any Free State/Republican/IRA attack on Northern Ireland should a united Ireland be attempted.".
I'm sorry but I have literally no idea what you are getting at.
A united Ireland can be quite hard to achieve in a TL (depending on the POD), and because of that few people won't usually attempt it.
As I said, "everyone being under the impression that the Unionists are ten times as fanatical as the average Japanese pilot in 1944 and will automatically slaughter every Catholic in Ulster and then completely repulse any Free State/Republican/IRA attack on Northern Ireland should a united Ireland be attempted."
To put it simply, it's hard for reasons X,Y, and Z. As such, no one really tries to do it and they usually come up with an overexaggerated excuse for why they're not doing it.
I don't know what the TV tropes thing is in aid of, I suppose you're trying to be clever or something.
My POD is in 1046 but alright.
I like.
