Cultural appropriation, revision of history or just appreciation of the culture. What are your thoughts on Yasuke in the new Assassin's Creed.

Must be nice to not live in a country where speaking from ignorance and/or bigotry is the default for a lot of the citizens (I'm likely giving Japan too much credit).

'white dude' no , I'd rather you not post a twitter post with a few cherry picked tweets of Japanese people & assume that they represent every Japanese persons thoughts on it
Well, I can keep posting the views of Japanese people, but I'm sure that would still not be enough for you. Not that your view (nor anyone here's view) matters much regarding the topic.

Hilarious that we have a complete role reversal in that the anti-woke mob is now mad on behalf of japanese people for cultural appropriation. The anti-wokesters were the wokesters all along!

Just going to skip over the fact you said 'white dudes' like it's exclusively white men that have an issue with it , showing your racism & sexism bro & Japanese people don't all have the same opinion you can post Japanese people being positive about it but don't act like they represent every Japanese person

Now that I think about it I've been a hypocrite I love the Disney film Pocahontas but the real story behind that is terrible a good story is a good story if they can make it make sense in the assassin's creed world then it doesn't really matter

People still arguing about historical accuracy and/or propagandist reasons to include a black protagonist, while I'm just curious to know how they will solve the obvious real issue (which has already given us some nice memes) with having such a protagonist during that period in a game about disguise and staying anonymous:

How will they make sure that any guard won't chase him on sight after being alarmed once?

Well yeah that's an obvious thing that most of us were thinking , it makes no sense when he would stick out like a sore thumb but apparently the woman is the the assassin & the man is just a tank that uses brute force
