      The main thing it's not about yasuke specifically since he was a real historical figure, but the fact that he has nothing to do with the assassin brotherhood. Naoe makes more sense because shinobis are similar to assassins, yasuke it's just a black eivor that fights among the assassins because hehehehe I'm friend with the woman

      ⁠@@DiamondhandsForeverQuick corrections, Persians are not black, Egyptians are, however they were colonized and subjugated by Arabs and so a majority of Egyptians are not black anymore, but the indigenous ones are are black. Cleopatra was Egyptian of Greek descent so Netflix making a documentary of her where she’s black is appropriation, (government of Egypt sued Netflix). Jesus is only white in Europe, however Jesus is black in Ethiopia and Asian in Vietnam and Native American in Mexico. Different people and cultures making Jesus look like themselves is a way of different people to personalize Jesus. There is no racialized ideology behind it. Now getting back to the context of this video, DEI does not establish original black characters or storylines, it appropriates and erases other cultures, peoples and stories by pasting a black face on it. It’s not original or accurate or honest, and that’s why we are against it, if your going to make a video game (in a series known for historical accuracy) about Japanese samurai in the Middle Ages number 1, use actual Japanese people so your not engaging in appropriation and replacism, and number 2. women weren’t samurai’s, so we have 2 mistruths here, number 1 is a black samurai, I think this can be solved by Ubisoft clarifying that it’s based on the real person Yasuke, who was an African in Japan at the time (for 3 years) but wasn’t a Samurai, he was a servant to Daimyo Oda Nobunaga, so even if clarifying the character it would still be untrue, and number 2, a female samurai (women were not allowed to become samurai in feudal Japan same way as women were not allowed to be knights in Europe. This is all being done due to ideology and erases accuracy and truth. So we have many reasons to be against it. Notice no one complained about AC3 using a Native American assassins, or AC4 DLC having a black slave as its main character, or AC Origins having a black indigenous Egyptian as its character. We only complain when there’s an ulterior motive and ideological reasoning behind replacing and appropriating peoples history and culture. Hope this helps you understand.

    i spent about one month last year working on some Wikipedia pages since I saw how certain pages were severely lacking in information and I wanted to contribute some important info to them. I quickly got out of there once I caught on how the vast majority of the veteran Wiki editors there are ULTRA woke to the EXTREME (and that's putting it mildly. I can't even go into details on how ultra, ultra, ultra extreme woke they are. That's how bad it is and I was shocked how many of them had these details in their public profiles). Anyway, these "editors" would delete and alter certain pieces of info due to extremely petty reasons, sometimes having to do with the ideology that they wanted to push. They didn't care if it was accurate info with citations added in as proof, if they didn't like it they would delete it. This is one of the MANY reasons why no one should use Wikipedia as a serious source of info for anything. Even for stuff like movies, shows, comics, games (ESPECIALLY games), use other sources.

      No; we should use it, but we should be prepared to fight for its integrity. If we abandon wikipedia, the wokes win on that front, and they shall all flock there when everything collapses around them as they try to build a false narrative to deceive the naive youth into joining their vain cause and thus perpetuating their wanton chaos for generations to come.
      We have the power to swarm them with our superior numbers, if only we _all_ did our part to jump in the fray, to fight against their misinformation and campaign of lies. We have the power to, through majority vote, change the policies that they so abuse, forever locking them out of editorial positions.
      We can change the standards for sources, allowing wayback archives, and non “mainstream” sources to be allowed so long as, and _only if_ they can be verified.
      Thus pages like the one on Sweet Baby Inc, will be forced to accept use of alternative sources that _can be verified_ by just digging around; no more sticklers able to force use of already compromised and biased mainstream news.
      We shall ever endeavor to extend the oft forgotten tenet of Wikipedia; that rules are flexible, and that there is no “Core Policy” that is absolute.

      Racist Hollywood movies already stereotype asians as being less physically capable than white or black men while being nerds. Making a game where a black guy cosplays as a samurai and mops the floor with Japanese samurai is pretty disrespectful to the entire culture.

It doesn't make sense from an investment point of view from their end. Do they just not know that they would be shooting themselves in the foot from this investment? It just doesn't make sense. Unless there is some deeper and darker reasoning behind creating this nonsense insanity? Companies like Blackrock and Vanguard would not be pushing this so hard knowing it'll hurt value in the short term unless they see higher value in the long term.

    Nobody would go buy a game where Ubisoft, due to its DEI policies, put a "Hiroshima and Niggasaki", just as the 1996 movie says "Don't be a Menace to South Central while you drink your juice in the Hood". The woke themselves humiliate themselves. Yasuke is not the first black samurai, because before the inclusion appeared, the Demoman character from the shooter game Team Fortress 2 was already a samurai, since there were already samurai packs for that class in the game. The Ubisoft woke stole the idea from Valve. The woke is a protester that comes to alter the social and logical order, and to impose its policies that go against entertainment in the case of video games, ruining the experience for the players and the success of the company. They don't care about commerce, or sales, or the success of the product, or whether the players like it or not, what matters to them is including to fulfill an agenda of a few roles; and after ruining it they don't play it.

    I think Learingthelaw was spot on about how games are being used as cultural weapons. I find it crazy how these people will argue how these things are ok for UBI to change history in Japan for DEI but when "white people" make a game set in Japan and Japanese people loved it, that's heresy.

It's a very great game that values a lot of real historical events while adding in some fiction in a very good way which compliments the historical events.

Then he 'mysteriously vanished' (he was probably killed). Yasuke didn't speak Japanese, was not a Samurai, he was more a mascot for Oda Nobunaga, who liked parading around

    The line "It's important to note that there is no historical writings or evidence that Yasuke was considered a samurai, he was never given a fief or referred to as one in any writings," was only added yesterday according to edit logs at (Revision as of 15:54, 15 May 2024) after the trailer launched. So that being removed was due to it being added obviously in retaliation to his inclusion in the trailer.

    • @nathanmitchell7961
      @nathanmitchell7961 5 місяців тому +1

      Having a fief is not a requirement for being samurai as around the time Yasuke appeared an increasing number of samurai were employed on stipend.
      Matsudaira Ietada's diary describe him as being under Nobunaga fuchi. I don't know if western internet writers mistakenly translate the term literally as "carry" but fuchi means a rice stipend or a warrior employed by such stipend. Yasuke was paid a fuchi. At the very least Lorenzo Mesia reported that Nobunaga assigned people to show him around Kyōto. Either way would make him a warrior.
      Having a (long)sword is not a mark of a samurai either until the late 17th century when the Edo Bakufu outlawed the wearing of the (long)sword in public by non-samurai population of the cities.
      And in any case Luis Frois recorded Yasuke having fought at Nijō where he surrendered his sword. So he had one.
      So he was definitely a samurai. And considering he was among Nobunaga/Nobutada's pages/guards, a relatively important one at that.
