Like for real, gamers okay with aliens being Gods and Leonardo Da Vinci being an assassin but God forbid they make a historic Black dude in Japan being slightly cooler than he was

it's famous historical figure Yasuke. there's a netflix anime about him and everything.

but also it's ubisoft so i'm sure they're using him cynically

No question. But gamers' thoughts and opinions have the depth of a shallow puddle so as soon as they see a black man in Japan its "Ubisoft woke, SJW, DEI, Sweet Baby aaaaaaaaaah"guts-rage

That's the majority of comments along with "ummm ACKSHUALLY he was never a retainer" nevermind this game had Leonardo Da Vinci as some secretive inventor for the assassins who also helped discover that aliens were behind everything us-foreign-policy

Where were the complaining gamers when Nioh came out?

Is kinda shit that Yasuke is a protagonist to be fair, the only cool thing about AC is to be play as a fictional character interacting with real historical figures. Yasuke should be a NPC.
