"The Assassin's Creed Shadows team has a message for our Japanese community." : Games - HAHAHAHA seems pressure has been building!

i think if they just straight up ignored history to cuck chuds and straight up said, we dont care about history, we just wanted to make AssCreed: Afro Samurai, they would have sailed through

but past month both Ubisoft and shitlibs have distorted truth to reach that Cleopatra documentary levels of fraud

i myself don't know how important the Real life Yasuske actually was, but when real life history is seemingly blatantly being distorted to fiction, i believe this may rub peeps askew

Mainly because there isn't an asian man option. Yasuke should have been an unlockable bonus character or a dlc or something and things would have been fine. But the fact that Ubisoft put more work into shoving a black man in ancient Japan than an actual japanese guy is just ridiculous even for some normies.

I think it's chuds seizing their moment. Yasuke would be defensible, but he feels strikingly out of place in Sengoku Japan. So the game smells like DEI even if the devs genuinely thought Yasuke was an interesting choice. And this time white chuds who have a bone to pick with DEI can be backed up by Asians and Japanese people who feel less guilt about slavery than mayos and are less inclined to roll over in submission.

It also doesn't help that AC fans were calling for a Japanese AC for years and were clearly imagining creeping around as a ninja. Ubisoft's marketing might have been able to save themselves here by focusing on Naoe more but she's unfortunately very non-descript next to Yasuke.

I think part of the assassin creed appeal is blending into a crowd, which in confucian medieval Japan is kinda impossible for a black foreigner and (to a lesser extent) a woman ninja

Bastardizing historical figures to make everyone on the side of assassins or templars is AC's whole thing. This really is nothing other than permanently online r-slurs mad that a black man exists and the company using the seethe to generate marketing. They would've been pissed about the woman too mowing down waves of male enemies but racism trumps sexism.

Yasuke would perfectly fit as an NPC in the game like Michaelangelo or Alfred the Great were in past AC games. This lets them be more historically accurate while the crazy made-up stuff is mostly done by the made-up character.

This isn't breaking DEI lmao 🤣 this is only happening because another DEI faction (Asians) are upset.

I heard them say that they picked Yasuke just because they liked the idea of an outsider introduced to feudal Japan as an exotic new environment (like the player, probably) and that actually completely makes sense to me
