Japan Is DONE With Ubisoft Rewriting Their History

Was Thomas Lockley's book translated differently, or just localized liberally?

It's very confusing

They seem to mixing up Japan and China. China is racist towards black people. The only racism in Japan historically has been toward other Asians. More specifically people like the native Okinowans, Chinese, Koreans, etc. As far as whte and black people, the japanese seem fascinated the same way many in westerners are fascinated by Japanese people and culture. Even Nobunaga when he bought Yasuke he did it because he was fascinated by him.

thegamer be like : blackwashing real history? thats ok. it should be for the mighty DEI
"whitewashing" fictional region? hell no. how dare them!!!

Normal people shouldn't treat these things like a joke anymore.
Because there are actually people this dumb in our world.
We should start treating these issues seriously or they'll take over our world and take powerful positions before we know it (and no, not a tinfoil hat).
I thank channels like Rev's that brings attention to these with a rational mindset.

I once saw a tweet that said 'assassins creed Shadows is also the first game to have dynamic season changes'.

I then replied saying 'also the first to have a character that doesn't fit the setting'.

I then had a reply saying I hated black people. It was wild but hilarious as I then replied saying it has nothing to do with colour, it has to do with changing history to fit DEI initiatives

Ooh! OOOOHHHH! Is someone in trouble for ACTUAL Cultural Appropriation?! How deliciously ironic, considering how Woke they are!

ロックリーの『日本人が最初に黒人を奴隷として扱った』という証拠もない戯言に対して日本人が『じゃあ何でエイの春画(𝑾𝑻𝑭)があるのに黒人の春画がないんだよ』という予想の斜め上すぎる反論をしてて申し訳ないけど死ぬほど笑った。

It's one thing if Ubisoft admitted that they know Yasuke's history and his position at Oda Nobunaga's side is very vague, and that it made them get creative on how they will tackle that in their game (be actually samurai). It's another thing entirely if they claim that Yasuke has always been a samurai and used a source that is untrustworthy.

Personally, I really didn't see the problem at first because at the beginning, Ubisoft never claimed that Yasuke was samurai. In so far as his character was concerned, I actually commended it, because instead of making a fictional character that has a connection (or were born) in the setting they use, they used a vague person in feudal Japan, and got creative with him. But then everything snowballed down with observant people discovering a lot of small details that are just wrong for the setting they used, with the final nail in the coffin was that Ubisoft fully committing to their claim that Yasuke was samurai with their source being from someone who is not as ethical in his research.

Every AC game has rewritten history and is historical fiction. Every. Single. One. The backlash against an unreleased historical fiction game is over the top to say the least.

I hate it when I find out that I share my first name with people like Lockley

i have nothing against a Black main character but when a game is set in Japan or other Asian regions i still prefer a Asian main character

Tbh I did think and I still do think the outrage over this game is silly. Assasin creed has never been accurate. But trying to revise history for your agenda for a fucking video game is plain ridiculous.

The fact Japanese are mad about a black samurai and a JAPANESE WOMAN being protagonist in their game while other games like Nioh featured a CAUCASIAN Protagonist and the SAME black samurai as a supporting character or so many of their anime protagonists are CAUCASIAN, FINALLY confirms what a lot of non japanese who lived in japan have said for years that as a culture they have a MASSIVE Xenophobia problem that is HIGHLY centered around anti black culture that is LARGELY masked by their culture of non confrontational politeness in public. This is also backed up by their declining bithrates where much of the world has integrated birthwise with other ethnicities including black and dark skin hispanic

too long have black people from other countries been gaslight by WHITES who also participate in this anti black culture calling it in our head when we have seen or experienced this behavior from a significant amount of Japanese people in japan and in the diaspora.

All the YT channels and comments are showing black people were right. We are ALWAYS right when it comes to detecting racism.

bought a copy of the game to spite these people. Been thinking of going back and buying the $120 version for the game filter.

what they should do is go all in and rewrite the game so the two protagonists F*c* and make it graphic enough people in Japan can't even see it. problem solved.

Reactions on the internet don't lie even if they are botted. its ALL Data. Botting shows that there's still a group significant and desperate enough to continue white supremacy or anti black culture.
