So the situation is peak r-slurred from every side.
To fans it's omagat black washing white character because of dreads because dreads = African culture even tough a true African hair won't make good dreads hair and I doubt in the past you could buy hair extensions. You need quite soft hair and not extreme curvy like true Africans. So it's a bit like with Afro hair style that is considered black African while the most natural wearers of that hair style are Jews.
So pro gaymers consider dreads black because bob Marley a mixed person and all those lil mixed rappers.
Skin colour wise the guy could easily be Arab and in Islam dreads ain't forbidden to guys if it's not longer than shoulders length.
So game will be decent but with shit sales because gaymers who are on average stupid decider it's black washing

They likely think black = dreads due to the number of leftists online who have shrieked that white people having certain hairstyles is cultural appropriation, so whites with dreads are worse than Hitler.
These are the same sort of people who spent days attacking a woman who posted a picture of her white Animal Crossing avatar having astro puffs, because it was cultural appropriation. So g*mers aren't being stupid to make that association. Also do you really think the devs associate dreads with Arabs?

I think devs just wanted a cool looking character
Look wise it's seems like natural evolution from 2008 looks
And if you look at other games of obisoft they pretty much added dreads to every assassins games since origin
And 100% will add in assassins creed Japan
But I legit start to wonder who is more racist they or me
Because yesterday they bitched that nee Tekken game doesn't has the black character “eddy” who always looked to me Latinx. So to those guys world is literally black/white and nothing else

You'll be playing a black samurai in AC: Japan, won't you? Despite there only being one recorded black person in the entire period, and despite being kanged he was never a samurai.
Basically, Ubisoft doing it every time only makes the expectation it's blackwashing more likely, not less.

The thing is there like 0 chances that guy if he legit existed had dreads since 90% men in Africa are bald, a true Africa can't grow his hair long
It must be legit hard design a black character if African legit look very similar and cutting their hair won't create unique hair styles

Devs don't seem to have a problem designing the women. They just all look the same, mostly with an afro. Half of them played by Debra Wilson.
