Remember Ghost of Tsuhsima was slammed by journalists calling it "cultural appropriation". Yet they'll praise this garbage by Ubislop yet the Japanese hate it.
It's not too difficult to let the group of people actually decide if it offends them or not, instead of acting as if you know what will piss them off.
Not remotely the same thing. Shadows is stunning and brave. What's so brave about GOT? Japanese culture? Not around these parts.
@@sincerelynotme3522 that's a nice attempt at rage bait. But I bet it was made on the same highway you were born on.
After all, that's where most accidents happen.
@@vas-poenitentiae-08 It's the rhetoric. Also, nice grade school humor.
@@sincerelynotme3522 nahh your mom was so slow it took her 9 months to make a joke lmao.
Ragebait exposed lol.🤣🤣🤣
Ubisoft doesn't have the right to disrespect any culture with their games.
Japanese erasure is completely okay. It's not like Japan is going to do anything about it. It's not like they're people of importance.
TPCI have no right to be bigots toward Japan either. Chiri is never pretty as she looks like she supports bigotry towards males and females.
nobody doesn't
No one shouldn't
They don't care about disrespecting any culture as long as it doesn't lose them any brownie points.
Japan staying as Japan is being cultured and honored.
Japanese culture should be changed to Western values. It's what we all want. It'll be better for everyone.
@@sincerelynotme3522Screw that, the west has lost its mind!
@@sincerelynotme3522 Not consent with what you have, now try to apply your values on others? No wonder Ubisoft and their ilks are stupid, they don't know when to stop.
@@sincerelynotme3522Jajajajaja, no!
@@sincerelynotme3522 As an American citizen, I find what you just said abhorrent. Japanese culture and history, from their rigid adherence to discipline and honor (to a faulty degree to be fair), their myths and legends about the gods and Yokai, the history of their people... All of it should be treasured and preserved.
Don't get me wrong, Japan isn't perfect. They've done some messed up crap in the past. Nanking comes to mind, as does their refusal to acknowledge the war crimes they committed. But no society is perfect. You, as a non Japanese person, have no right to tell anyone of Japanese descent that they have to live they way you demand they do. You are a champion of fascism, and you should be deported from whatever country you live in.

Petition doesn’t really do anything but sometimes it’s the only way to show how annoyed people are
Worked for Stellar Blade.

@@DarkHeartTheEmo what do you mean "it kind of did"? sounds like you're coping right now
Boycotts work tho
Never forget that the black character from the 1500s has hip hop playing for his combat music. That is the level that Ubisoft is at.
that is just the cherry on top thats amazing lmao
From what I recall, we don't even know if he's black in reality.
@@RambleOn07 That he is black from Africa is pretty much the only thing actually known about him. The vast majority of his background is theory and speculative.
@@Techn207 I thought he was from Morocco or somewhere in North Africa? Isn't he just described as darker than the Portuguese and Japanese?
@@RambleOn07 His body was described as being as black as ink. Could be a literary exaggeration, but at the very least it does point tot he fact that he was very black.
The fact that the « inclusive » people said that asian people have « enough » representation…in THEIR own culture, is actually despicable.
Not only they butchered Japanese culture but they even added hip hop of all things because Yasuke happens to be black. How "progressive" of them.
The hip hop is just insulting. Like they can't tell there's a difference between african american and just african.
So much for those ilks demanding people to not judge by stereotypes, but then when they did judge by stereotypes, it was fine.
"yeah we need a game with hip hop people in it"
- Ubisoft probably
Ubisoft should prove their words by creating an Assassins Creed in Africa with Japanese protagonist.
Like if you don't want to represent japanese people, why the hell are you setting a game in Japan?
The people who boycotted Hogwarts should be doing that to this game.
They should also boycott the Concord game and Warhammer.
That game was not that good.
The people who were voicing the hogwarts boycott are the same kind of people protecting this ubsoft game and say Asians are white agasent.
They won't, because cultural imperialism is okay.
So doxxing and sending death threats to everyone who works at ubi?
If Egypt can sue Netflix for their 'Cleopatra Documentery' can Japan sue Ubisoft for this?
Edit: I don't know what's going on down there, all that must be known by all of you is that mine is the only important opinion.
Those people aren't anything of importance, tho. It's not like their culture matters.
No.
Because its not a "Documentary"
nah, they're gonna award Ubisoft with "emmy award", like they did with VICE news
Probably not no
Realistically speaking, if Japan were to sue them.. it would have to be in their home territory... All I could see is maybe they ban the game from their stores, but if this was taken to the Japanese government and they condemn Ubisoft for their representation, it would be a severely bad look on Ubisoft and puts their ridicule on the world stage.
And the more countries that become aware of Sweet Baby Inc's influence, the better. As for Ubisoft... they'll just keep doing what they do and keep making 70 dollar games with loads of MTX and reduced leveling to make you buy EXP Boosts.

"it has reached a level where "don't buy it" won't work" that can be said for alot of things
Yeah, sadly I don't think it is going to do much, but it is at least additional mean of expressing of our voice.
As for the actual Japane voices on this topic, a channel called Ryuuku Sensei made a ppretty good summary in English yesterday.
I think Yasuke was a samurai servant 武家奉公人(buke hokonin), and in reality, he was a 中間 chugen or 小者 komono (status between samurai and commoners). But even those in a position to admit that Yasuke had the status of a samurai for convenience. They would say that his main duties during those 15 months were chores and carrying luggage, and that there was no way he was going out on the battlefield on horseback and wearing a gorgeous suit of armor.
As a westerner who loves japan, I agree with this. Japan should ban Ubisoft if they release this game. remove Ubisoft's cultural theft from the Japanese market entirely.
Jeez the game hasn't even released yet give it a Damm chance before sending it to hell

I'm not japanese so I don't have a say on japanese history and appropriation. But if the japanese themselves hate the game then I'll support them
Obviously, petitions don't do much in the way of actually getting them to stop making it, but it does show that the Japanese do _not_ like it. That means Ubisoft devs can't hide behind any sort of cultural defense and they have to admit that they made this game purely for the "progressive" western audience that don't actually like real Japanese culture. And these wokies can't even say that 7500+ signatures doesn't matter, when their attempts to start a petition to get Forspoken 2 made couldn't even surpass 100 signatures.
These same western progressives also hated Ghost of Tsushima because it did not feature any of their woke talking points, but was beloved by Japan and even was commemorated for its cultural significance.
Japanese audiences weren't going to tolerate this. It was to be expected.
I'm on Japans side on this one
Signed already, and I am not even Japanese. It probably won't do shit, but the principle is what matters. Even if it prevents one additional person from buying this game, I consider it as a win.
That is being human. Thank you for fighting the spiritual battle young soldier. Good luck on the field!
I wish Japan wins this.
Let's be honest, I don't think Japan is going to win for the lack of attention the petition gives.

Because Americans are all about Pride (hence pride month) , In Asia Pride is a negative virtue but in North American it's celebrated, It leads to Narcissism and then to Arrogance, dignity is what the East cherish not Pride.
Oh well what do you expect from outsiders?
@@ChiyoTachi Believe it or not Pride month gets mixed opinions here in America. A lot of people have issues with pushing ideologies onto others or prefer older versions of their culture so they end up not supporting or actively going against Pride teachings.
Keep in mind that there are 50 states that have their own state laws and not every person share the same opinions. Generalizing all Americans like that is disingenuous. A lot of us do not like false information and while the new Assassin's creed game is a work of fiction I don't care how wrong they are what I have a personal issue with is historical wiki pages being changed because of the game due to people adding false data based on the game instead of historical documentation.
If I were to get more controversial we can go into World War 2. Certain Japanese people recently think what the invading military did was justified and that they did no wrongdoings, others think the acts were horrible and Japan should be apologetic. What you said about all Americans can be used here where you chose one side and say all Japanese people are like that.
Reality is a lot more complex so generalization isn't good in my opinion. I will say that the loud minority is usually exaggerating the scale of events, most people don't care enough to voice themselves.
@@nadaburner I am not only talking about pride month only but the culture that harbors such negative virtue, "Pride" in it's entirety is a bad moral practice, it is what made concepts like "respect must be earned" which in Japan "respect is given until taken away" and it creates opportunity for concepts like Guilty till proven Innocent just like the Johnny depp and brett kavanaugh cases amd also metoo movement as a whole. Talking about WW2 is false equivalence.
I too can talk about colonial and civil war Era, we do not need to go back to the stone age, you can just call it generalization culturally. I am also not saying all states practice pride month you misunderstood the main point. It is " Pride " we are talking about, that's what made all the big tech Ceo behave in such narcissistic manner and it's not limited to Ubisoft Ceo but Bob Iger etc, list goes on.
To give you all credit Americans wasn't so authoritative back in the 90s and early 20s, now Woke culture has taken place and it is the face of Western society, It is this plague that we East Asian don't want any part off, If you belong to the silent side I hope you put your energy into combating such social plague in your society before it collapse, serious social engineering has been going on and orchestrated by the rich establishment. I shall end here before it gets too long winded, have a good day.
Because we always know best. You didn't know?
Ubisoft is disrespect
Let's hope this gets big enough that certain content creators can't ignore or pretend the Japanese audience doesn't exist except for sale numbers. Get it so high, they have to acknowledge it or get called out.
Hate to break it to you but overseas people have started to sign the petition
Yasuke is not a samurai. It is true that he was on Nobunaga's side. This was because blacks were rare in Japan. Nobunaga wanted to surprise and awe the other feudal lords by having a black man at his side that no one had ever seen before. Yasuke had no influence on Japanese history. If he had any influence on Japanese history, it would have been recorded in military history. But there is no such thing. We Japanese are rightly angry that Yasuke, who is not his real image, is playing a game of slaughtering Japanese people with hip-hop songs as background music. This is discrimination against Japanese people. Don't use our precious history for your selfish political appeals, UBI.
My opinion either
自分も署名しました
紹介して下さって、ありがとうございます！
A Japanese UA-camr named "let's ask shogo" posted a video explaining that Yasuke was a samurai, and many liberals say something like, " See? Even the Japanese admit that Yasuke was a samurai!” But this shogo guy is not a history expert or anything. He was a waiter who worked in a restaurant and he is just showing off his elementary school level knowledge of history on youtube. As you can see from his videos, he is very liberal and keeps posting negative things about Japan, so his video about Yasuke is just another video he makes to please western liberals. It is frightening that he acts as if he represents the views of the Japanese people.
Shogo is a leftist commie "japanese". Possibly part chinese or paid by them. Anyone who's seen his topics and knows what these leftists do, can easily spot it.
Didn't he said in the video it was his personal opinion?
@@NetBattlerits called being passive agressive. Being polite while also being very rude.
@@DominicMaca no,I'm talking about his video regarding of yasuke was samurai or not.
Yeah, he made a video like "Japan sucks, I'm leaving Japan!" a few years ago, but he's still in Japan lol
It's obvious he's using his anti-Japan stance to make money. Most of his videos are clickbait and not worth watching.
Stay strong Japan.
It must continue until the Corpo backs down or see their product tank. *_FEED THE FURNACE!_*
Japan not backing down is completely justified, they’re literally defending the sanctity and representation of their culture and history.
okay, there are like 50 billion games with Japanese samurai. One game with one black samurai will not uproot japanese culture. The other playable character is a Japanese woman. Plus, a non-japanese samurai could tell a story that a japanese samurai could not.
@@tfyk5623 "non-japanese samurai" who? Youre put into a game as AAAA Legendary Master Assassin, youre historically accurate as you are exist but all the stuff that the game depict you are all wrong, same goes to the Yasuke animal pet.
I think what this has shown is Ubisoft hates Japan, there's like 14 other AC games and literally every MC is of the culture of the region the games set in until the one set in Japan
*French* hates asians. thats the root
Carribean culture is Welsh?
@@MagcargoMan AC4 was pirate themed not Caribbean themed, so the protagonist could've been from any European culture as well as some asian and islander ones
@@StarFreighterPilotGothJesus Nice goalpost shifting there. You said "the region the games set in". What region is AC4 set in, do tell?
@@MagcargoMan ubi ain't gonna pay you for doing this but for your information ac4 having a Welsh or European protagonist still fits perfectly with the story because most European cultures were present in those areas because of British/French colonies or territories as well as forts, hell even the Spanish and Portuguese were out there at the time. The British also owned a lot of the Caribbean at the time but ac4 is a pirate themed one, its basically the only one not themed around a region, its more themed around its era than the region it takes place in
Ubisoft : Free Japan from oppression. (Game sales pitch)

Good idea, it's edit in
The Japanese have always been a nation of record-keeping people.
Even Yasuke, a black man who came to Japan as a slave, kept records.
Therefore, if Yasuke was a samurai or played an active role, someone always keeps a record of it.
If there is no record, it means the opposite was true.
Ubisoft may be able to disrespect American culture but when it comes to Japan? Clearly we know the answer to that.
Does the US even have culture?

The saddest thing about this is the fact this is what it takes to get Japan's attention on stuff we've been fighting for the better part of a decade now.
It's awful that it takes a direct attack on their culture to really shake people's cages but apparently that's where we are now. I just wish they had become aware of this stuff sooner because we've been dealing with it for quite a while now and it's only now that it's been spreading like the viral cancer it is the people are finally taking note.
We must as a one rise up and completely condemn this. Honestly I don't expect much from my own country here in the US but I'm glad to see other countries getting angry and doing something.
@JohnDoe-wq5eu
We become aware of how terrible DEI activists are bringing. And I know US and Western ppl have fought for a decade. I sympathize for that, tbh most entertainments from US & western became less attractive in this 5 years imo. Sry if my opinion hurts you.
I hav question, why you can’t expect much from US ppl?
Those DEI monsters were born in US and Western, I think your ppl and Westerners should end those activists leading other countries including us.
Japan Goverment just should ban Ubisoft from the country for good.
This is a good thing to hear and I hope that Japan succeeds in a massive way!
I signed and shared this petition. And from Norway.
So yes... I whole heartly agree this year's AC should be cancelled or delayed.
For several reasons:
- Disservice to Japanese culture and history
- Disservice to history in general
- Disservice to Assassin's Creed's legacy.
If you want a samurai/ronin on the battlefield, play ghost of Tsushima. We play Assassin's Creed for the stealth. A female assassin is not a controversy (Mulan was one...). But involving LGBTQ in an historical simulator takes you out of the immersion.
And as a gay man I'll say this loud and clear. STOP forcing lgbt where it doesn't fit. In an HISTORICAL game it does NOT.
Whether fiction or not.
I am Japanese. Thank you for your repeated support!
When I look at comment sections in English-speaking countries, I often see people saying, "They're complaining, but they'll probably buy it anyway."
But, In a country where KAROUSHI is a reality, imagine the Japanese people who are forced to fight a never-ending, fruitless battle while rubbing their sleepy eyes after finishing work or schooling.
Just think, after being treated like that, do we still want to play with their excrement?
if I have that kind of time, I'll play GoT. No purchase necessary to fact check.
I do never recommend SHADOWS unless you can swing a katana and kanabo in a fake Japan and you don't care about anything else.
Megaman battle network 5 has way more accurate representation of samurai than assassin's Creed shadows lol
@@NetBattler They said that the Japanese people of the Azuchi-Momoyama period were headhunters.

I will say this as many times as needed; Japan officially and formally needs to condemn Ubishit for the disgusting insult to their culture and history. If Ubishit refuses to back down, then the JP govt should kick their company presence out of the country.
I think it’s hilarious how they lovingly embraced Ghost of Tsushima but are hating on AC Shadows. One shows respect and reverence to Japan and the other… does not

@@joeramsay6269 What did Michigan State University do? I don't remember.
Imagine making a game about a country's history and got blacklisted, i feel like I've heard something like this before and got sued
Japanese culture: gets culturally appropriated/
Europeans: first Time?
it's already 10k people signs there
The worst thing about all this is that if the Japanese made a game about Nigeria for example and it involves a japanese guy going around deleting people with a sword or w/e it most likely would be banned in USA and some other countries for racism.
Now imagine if instead of a Japanese guy, it was a white guy? the developers would be sued for emotional damage and non-existant physical harm.
Well, you're a massive liar, because Ubisoft weren't canned for Far Cry 2 and Resident Evil 5 didn't get Capcom sued.
That was years ago, but imagine if a triple A studio did it in 2024.Especially if it was a game with as much freedom as AC:S where you play as a black guy and you can literally walk into a japanese village and just delete everyone there. Imagine if someone made a game with the races swapped, It would definitely be used by leftist to get more anti-racist points. As for RE5, i haven't played it myself but aren't all the enemies there actual zombies ?

Kudos to Japan...
This petition probably wont be successful, but at least we can express our anger.
Im also Japanese, I want to make it clear that we arent outraged because Yasuke was black. And game devs can create fictional legends. However, it is fraud to promote non-existent "real life" as historical fact that the basis of fiction.
Also, as those of us whose culture has been stolen from, we cannot accept the theft of only surface of JP culture to create a selfish Asian style fantasy, or the claim that all Japanese people welcome this insult. IDKW but when we protested against this discrimination, we were treated as racists instead, so we had to act differently
Honest question, but how do you feel about all the Japanese media set in a western Medieval Fantasy setting often having Japanese elements and mythology inserted into it?
@@MagcargoMan In my personal pov, I dont see a problem with them as long as its shown to be complete fiction.
However, ACS declared the fictional myth to be historical fact and then built an another fiction on top of it. Furthermore, the depiction of that fiction (so called based on history) is full of cultural a/o historical errors and disrespect, which is obvious to any JPs. There are other problems, and that is why we are criticizing Ubisoft
UBI has not stopped advertising that it was made true to history.
This time around I know how Egypt felt when the Cleopatra documentary was made.
The only thing that matters to WOKE is if there is any fruit there that can be given to blacks from that culture. The culture itself is disregarded and Japanese who point out the obvious mistakes in the portrayal, the publicity and the creation process are called racists.
The behavior of WOKE continues to demonstrate their own assumption that black people cannot even pick their own fruit.
UBIは歴史に忠実につくったと宣伝し続けるのをやめていません。
今回の事でクレオパトラのドキュメンタリーが作られた時のエジプトの気持ちが分かりました。
wokeにとって重要なのは、その文化から黒人に与えられる果物がそこにあるかどうかだけです。文化そのものは軽視しているので描写にあきらかな間違いがある事や、宣伝や作成プロセスの過ちを指摘する日本人をレイシストと呼びます。
wokeの振る舞いは「黒人は自分でフルーツも取れないのだ」という彼ら自身の思い込みを示し続けている。
This time they are trying to give the blacks the fruits they should not take in the most unwise way of harvesting.
Oh, by the way, if you want to be sure that your current conversation partner is Japanese, you can ask him to write his sentences vertically.
I remember...Yasuke in Assassin's Creed wrote "勇" at the bottom of the scroll. He wrote the first character there. Yasuke in the game has been in Japan for only a short time, so it seems that his calligraphy is also written from the bottom up.omg
今回、彼らは取るべきではない果物を一番やってはいけない収穫方法で黒人に与えようとしています。
そういえば、現在の会話相手が日本人かどうかを確かめたいなら、文章を縦書きしてもらうという手もありますよ。
思い出します…アサシンクリードの弥助は巻物の一番下の所に「勇」を書いていましたね。一文字目をそこに書いている。ゲーム内の弥助は日本に来てから日が浅いので習字も下から上に記すようです。やばぁ
The more people who don't buy the game, the better for gamers things become.
Japan deserves better than this. Keep fighting the good fight JP bros.
Good for Japan - stand your ground - stop Asian Hate
How is this game asian hate?
@@michaeltorres-b8zit's the insider Ubisoft is Asian hate,not the game itself.
They should invite Koreans, Chinese, Taiwanese and even Vietnamese to sign that petition and show ubislop that they are not with their racist ideologies
@@michaeltorres-b8z It's Japanese hate, which by definition would also be 'asian' hate. They're shitting all over Japanese culture. Used the wrong symbol for the collector's edition and wrote the kanji wrong.
@@NetBattler Can you please elaborate, give me an example if possible.
Shouldnt buy any ubisoft game
The West has to help Japan by boycotting this game, otherwise, corpos don't care.
Honestly with how ubisoft been witb AC Shadows i don't blame people for thinking it won't do much but who knows maybe the petition will be ubi's wake up call
(Low)Looking back, the depiction of Persians in the movie "300" was completely inappropria-- *cough*
All this petition will do is create more publicity for AC Shadow. Wouldn’t be surprised if this game end up breaking records.
If SBI is actually government funded. People will be big mad.
And to think, they could have avoided all this by having both characters be Asian. If they wanted Yosuke in, they could very easily have made him a side character. There'd still be a bunch of DEI crap and inaccuracies, but making Yosuke a protagonist really lit a fire under their asses.
I am not sure actually banning the game would be the right decision, I am generally against censorship and if we start banning games for being historically inaccurate (I don't think there is any open racism in it even if there are cultural appropriation) that could end badly for everyone in the long run.
Bringing awareness of it is the correct thing to do though. Inform the customers and let them make their decisions is the base of capitalism which is what at least used to fuel all game companies even if many western companies today seems more interested in promoting politics then making good games.
The worst part is that Yasuke's real story is very interesting but Ubi Soft is screwing him even worse then Japan in the game. They could have made a cool game about his story from when he arrived in Japan and everything that happened after if they bothered reading more history then a few Wikipedia articles.
I think the lesson here is that when you set your game in a foreign country you have to respect that countries culture and history. Instead of hiring someone like Sweet baby Inc you should actually hire someone from that country to go through your script and see so there wont be a huge uproar when you release it, preferably an actual historian or archaeologist instead of some self proclaimed expert with dubious experience.
Haven't the kind of people on channels like this spent their history defending African caricatures in Japanese games for ages? Seems like their outrage only goes one way, and wanting experts to be consulted for the other way would be "woke".
@@MagcargoMan Beats me.
But I fail to see how a bunch of Canadians have the competence to handle the culture of any African country either.
If your game is set in a place like Mali for instance, you hire a company from... Guess what place? It ain't Canada... to make it authentic.
Alternatively you do a lot of research and send some of your people to that place to recreate it, that works too.
Just because you have a certain skin colour does not mean you understand any country or culture from other places.
And yeah, I think doing your homework for any real (including historical) setting is important unless the game is set in your own nation. If you can't do it yourself, you hire in local experts.
But do you actually believe Sweet Baby Inc know anything of historical Japan or even the real Yasuke?
So a French company hires in a French Canadian consultant company to help them make Japanese culture and history comes to life... What could possibly go wrong?
If the game was set in Montreal things would be different but now it is a stupid move.
Americans: don’t buy it 😮💨
Japanese: BURN IT WITH FIRE 🔥
enjoyed the coverage hope you enjoy your weekend also
thank you :)

It’s a shame really, we finally get the AC game fans have been begging for since the franchise inception, and Woke Diversity Dei bullshit has ruined any hype I had for the game.
good for japan, meanwhile europeans just roll over and accept everything
White guilt.
Hwuite guilt.
@@gobalbucsit's more like Europeans are playing dumb
@@gobalbucsbrainwashing and media propaganda is very effective. Theyre told to h8 themselves and keel over for colors.
Remember when Ghost of Tsushima was shit on and was called cultural appropriation?
And now people are praising AC Shadows. Fucking wild.
When GOT was being called cultural theft in the West, the Japanese were embracing and praising GOT. It's just the opposite.
Well , I"ll be damned !!!
The Japanese were right all along to be xenophobic !!!!!
Hats off to them !!!
Reminder... people stated Japannloved the game based on Amazon preorders. Meanwhile folk started wonder who pays attention to game preorders *on amazon*
As a Japanese person, I wondered, "Why do people use the number of pre-orders on Amazon as evidence that something is popular in Japan?"
First of all, the Amazon market is not considered important in Japan. When it was said to be popular in Japan, the number of pre-orders was displayed as 500.
When pre-orders began, the highest number was 1000,
and now it's down to 400. But there are still people who tell Japanese people that "it's number 1 on Amazon and it's loved in Japan."
To make Japanese criticism disappear, the ubi can change the black samurai to a pretty male knight.😂
