MODERATORS
People made these exact same arguments about the inclusion of a black samurai in an Assassin's Creed game.
A black samurai who was based on a real person who actually existed in history.
The game they're playing is very obvious to anyone who's actually paying an ounce of attention, and it has nothing to do with caring about historical accuracy.
It's bullshit. It's an excuse. It's foolish. I do not suffer it gladly.
Yes, and I loved that they wrote the black samurai character into that game to tell that story! I don't get your point?
That you are, whether intentionally or unintentionally, toying around with white supremacist propaganda narratives.
That's my point.
Narratives created to influence your mind and radicalize you.
No one is immune to these influences. Beware.
No, nuance exists and this is ridiculous absolutism lmao.
Assassin's creed is purely fictional and has very little basis in reality, so no, people do not make the exact same argument about Assassin's creed, because my argument necessarily excludes it as I have said already lol. Besides, Yaskue was a real person. It's not even historically inaccurate and his origin is explained.
Good example, in Castlevania Nocturne they introduce a bunch of multi-ethnic characters and give them all backstories as to how they ended up in 19th century France. I think that's awesome, and I love to see the thought and effort being put in there. I don't want these characters to be white, I want them to have a story.
