You mean *was* an actual caste.
Of course, it’s a rich history.
2 + .. = 4What people don't seem to understand is that the problem isn't even that a black man was made to be the protagonist of a game set in 16th century Japan.
The problem is that we all know exactly why, in a 2024 release, a black man was made to be the protagonist. We know exactly what the motivations were and they have absolutely nothing to do with the character being interesting, or beloved by the Japanese (lol) or presenting an interesting viewpoint. That's completely bullshit.
We know what the motivations were because we know the kind of people pushing for these ideas are devoted to virtue signaling agendas. Here's a guy who just presented himself on X as a Senior Writer for the game:
This guy decided that the first Assassin's Creed game in Japan needed to have a black main character? Wow, how stunning and brave. Who could ever have seen this coming?
And you want to know an example of the "History consultants" working for Ubisoft on the game? One of them just gave an interview to IGN for an article that attempts to rewrite History to present Yasuke as a Samurai.

It just had to be a Gender Studies expert from an university in the U.S..
Man at the turn of 20th century we had people wanting to major in and become professors in advanced physics, quantum mechanics, organic chemistry and now we get fuckin gender studies and sexuality doctorates. Who fucking needs these, what does it even contributeWhat people don't seem to understand is that the problem isn't even that a black man was made to be the protagonist of a game set in 16th century Japan.

Ok so how you make a game with a black character in 2024? I mean I get the gender and race swap controversy But this character existed, regardless if its pandering or not still an interesting character and how it should be done. Why you guys mad about this makes no sense whatsoeverWhat people don't seem to understand is that the problem isn't even that a black man was made to be the protagonist of a game set in 16th century Japan.

Not commenting on the rest because my opinions are very well known and got me in trouble, but the whole cultural appropriation argument is such bullshit.
I'm hungry too smh.Not commenting on the rest because my opinions are very well known and got me in trouble, but the whole cultural appropriation argument is such bullshit.
Every culture takes something out of other cultures, that's how they grow and change over time. Portuguese food is super heavy on spices that were originally Indian because we were essentially the first westerners to carve a maritime path there. Greek food has tons of North African influences because the Greeks and the Romans were culturally tied there. American cuisine staples only exist because they existed in Europe.
And so on. Sorry for the food examples but I'm hungry atm.
Haven't eaten proper solid food since the 15th due to tonsilitis. God I want a juicy burger with chips.
The road to november 15th is long, And Suicide Squad also finessed half a million suckers into pre orders. A publisher that hasn't released a single decent game in a decade will not suddenly make a must play game. There is a reason ubislop games are on discount within a month
Hmmm I just think the Japan take is more enticing for ppl. It's obvious they saw how well Nioh, GOT did etc and are riding tht wave hoping it's a seller.
Are you projecting or something?
