I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise – you know!

How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one's name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!

they're also adding ways to accept refugees and help foreign alien pops escape that oppression, as well as more interesting and granular options for integration

stellaris always had slavery and genocide. the problem is that right now it's really easy and 100% effective and basically nobody cares except for neighboring civs, who can't do anything about it except go to war with you (and end up hated by the slaves they freed because they were flagged "enslaved" when you conquered them)

or don't commit video game slavery and genocide and have a good time with your neighbors

Please do not look down on Stellaris for having detailed genocide mechanisms. Look down on Stellaris for being an ever bigger disappointment than GalCiv 3.

(Also, the latter reasoning is guaranteed to make salty gamer tears flow.)

that sounds even more boring. im much more interested in hyperoptimized hoi4 strategies, such as "send montgomerey with 200 infantry divisions to cross russia on foot on a final push against japan" rather than trying to figure out how to gently caress my own shadow to produce a genetically superior offspring that will stand a chance in the final throwdown over the throne of riga once a sore throat kills me at the late age of 23

not

imo one of the lead devs, Wiz, who is a goon and generally a cool guy i think, wants to see how hosed up people will be

ck2's the same way, where if you're not careful you'll find yourself murdering kids or blinding potential heirs to the throne without even thinking about it

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.
