Yasuke did not exist. Copy-pasting an older comment about this...
The sole argument for the existence of Yasuke is the Jesuit chronicles of their missions to Japan. Which were filled with nonsense and aren't taken seriously by most Catholics. Several of them were bloating their accounts in hopes of a bishopric.
Nobunaga never mentioned him in his own writings. Which given that Nobunaga would write poems about pretty much anything he laid eyes on, suggests that the two never met. The sole corroborating account stated that one of the missionary priests had a black servant, and they presented him as a curiosity to Nobunaga's court, but there is evidence of nothing else.
Here's another strain on historical credulity. Supposedly Yasuke fought for Nobunaga as a samurai. One of the claims is that he spoke fluent Japanese.
The time period between when they supposedly met and when Nobunaga was assassinated by Akechi Mitsuhide was... three months.
A black guy from what would now be Morocco, probably a slave to the priests, and someone whose language skills would have included mostly broken Portuguese, supposedly learned the second most difficult language on earth in three months. For reference, Japanese has three goddamn formal alphabets.
There is nothing about the story that is historically credible. There is more evidence of Santa Claus than there is of Yasuke. Now if you want a Japanese historical figure that is actually interesting and actually real, I suggest Honda Tadakatsu. He's a real life Hercules.
Now, now, let’s be fair. Kids can only consent when it’s a queer pairing. That way they’re allowed to explore their sexuality. When it’s straight, though, it’s evil.
Unless it's an older woman, what boy wouldn't want an old hag raping them...
That one pisses me off more as I've heard even 'right' leaning people go 'heyyy' when they hear a female teacher raped a male student. It's one of the reasons I'm alright with Shoeonhead because she goes 'they get the chipper too'
Yeah, the african guy was acquired by Oda Nobunaga because some foreign trader or missionary had him and Nobunaga was like "what the fuck are you, you work for me now". Nobunaga was a rather impulsive figure, and the guy that rose from a provincial lord to unifier of the warring states through sheer strategic genius, balls and a lot of luck.
Nobunaga never mentioned him in his writing. Which is strange as Nobunaga would write poems about everything and a black person in Japan would stand out quite a lot.
Ok. I remember when I first heard about it, it sounded interesting. Why not have him as a playable character you can unlock or something. If it’s true that you can’t play as a Japanese male in a game set during the feudal period that is beyond ridiculous
Yeah, but to the liberal mind, since Yasuke existed, obviously 500% of the Japanese population must have been black.

I am starting to notice a pattern...
One of my best, thanks for the shout out.
So it was you! I'll credit you if I have to say this again.
It was indeed, and much obliged.
But also in their minds kids can consent so I put the opinion of a goldfish higher than theirs.

Is that African samurai legend true? Since I heard it in the last few years I’m skeptical
