Honestly, I seriously doubt that the harassment is from the AC fanbase, and as a side sucky thing in an ocean of suck, it also sucks for Ubisoft that their game is getting associated with the backlash. It really seems like these are just political actors and opportunists exploiting the nazi child outrage farms for views, more than anything else.

I'd be shocked if most of the outrage, even the one whitewashed as "Asian men erasure" was genuine at all. Especially in the game series that opened with "hey the Crusades were bad, maybe" and spiraled out into assassinating the pope and playing as multiple black people murdering slavers.

Exactly. They're outrage tourists.

At this point I wouldn't call the Assassin's Creed franchise "good". "Painfully mediocre" is closer to what I'd call it, but that's just Ubisoft games in general nowadays
