Reminds me of when that hack comedian whined about Apu in the Simpsons so they took out his character. Didn’t matter that tons of Indians said they loved his character or that he was popular in India. Even the comedian’s own parents said they weren’t bothered by Apu
That’s not exactly true; rather, it takes one complaint from a person empowered to make complaints, against a target it is acceptable to complain about.
A comedian tells jokes, people take the jokes seriously. Stupidity at 11. I hope the same people don't think talking horses walk in bars all the time as well.
He also was a successful small business owner, a loyal husband, strong father, and a devout hindu. He was basically the American immigrate dream. But that's bad because he has a stereotypical Indian accent.
I know! Honestly if you want to play the offensive stereotype game Willy and Cletus are the ones that come to my mind. But they are white so it’s ok I guess.
Exactly. I’m fine as long as it’s across the board. Nobody should be immune from jokes. My favorite moment with Willie is the fake Scotchtoberfest to catch Bart
And it was just him making a play for the role himself. And then some other Indian that tried to steal scripts so they could try and get a spot themselves.
This is their hero. A hapa internationalist stronk independent woman, basically an AWFL.
Speaking as a hapa, it's extremely obvious she takes after the Caucasian side. With that personality and background, she might as well be an American expat.
She calls herself a Japanese American in her pinned tweet and based off of her pictures I would have assumed that she was a basic white American girl had she not said that she was half Japanese. But yeah, I think she is an American expat.
If they were so hard pressed to have him in the game then they could’ve just made him someone you come across. It’s a slam dunk to have Japanese protagonists in a game set in feudal Japan.
Between this and the pricing 'strategy' for this game, this might be the worst selling AC game to date.
Which I don't care about as I stopped at ACblack Flag, I am more interested if this is starting even more anti western media sentiment in Japan as that will stop the infiltration getting further if most the population reject it entirely.
The game will come with day 1 dlc, a 'complete' game with all the add ons will be $130 dollars and they are even offering a $18 dollar a month subscription service to play the game.
When you say subscription service, do you mean separate from the existing Ubisoft subscription service? They’ve offered a monthly fee to access all their games for quite a long time; is this exempted from that?
Honestly? If you like Ubisoft games, I think it’s probably not a bad deal. They make what, 2-3 big releases a year (plus the smaller games like Trials, or I think Anno is theirs too?), that consistently follow the same formula, and each cost about 60-70 bucks for the base game. The subscription gets you DLC and add-ons too, so as long as you haven’t grown sick of their formula or their wokeness or have some ethical complaint about them, you will play each release for a few months, finish it, and end up paying less overall than if you bought each title outright.
Of course, that’s quite conditional. If you do have any ethical issues about Ubisoft, or have grown sick of Far Cry/Watch Dogs/AC/Ghost Recon… you’re not going to be happy with it.
But there’s probably a decent chunk of “normie” gamers who do okay with it.
Reminds me of when Netflix released Cleopatra. I still can't get over the makers defending their actions! "Well if my grandma said such-and-such then it's true. Period." I wonder if the devs will do the same stunt here.
If I were a historian I'd be so miserable knowing this crap goes on all the time from movies to games to social media.

They will check the melanin-to-importance chart, see the Japanese are on the wrong part of the scale, and dismiss their claims of cultural appropriation as racist.
Yes this is my feeling as well. Between shit like this and how they whine whenever a based Japanese game or media easily out sells the woke US counterparts, they need Japan to sell its culture out.
Remember the "Stop Asian Hate" social media campaign that was abruptly halted once it was made evident that the vast majority of assaults and harassment directed toward asians wasn't done by 'white supremacists', but blacks?
Woke freaks will point to one jap who agrees with them and say we are making it up
And then it turns out, it'd be some canadian 2g with a grant from turdeau spewing every marxist lie with a veneer of 'academic authority'.

The fucking smug fucks never admit that with their belief system it take just ONE complaint for something to be haram.
That’s not exactly true; rather, it takes one complaint from a person empowered to make complaints, against a target it is acceptable to complain about.

Exactly. Apu had some of the best lines too.
He also was a successful small business owner, a loyal husband, strong father, and a devout hindu. He was basically the American immigrate dream. But that's bad because he has a stereotypical Indian accent.
I know! Honestly if you want to play the offensive stereotype game Willy and Cletus are the ones that come to my mind. But they are white so it’s ok I guess.
Also, Willie is hilarious. Stereotypes are funny. But they also hit close to home for the oversensitive.
Exactly. I’m fine as long as it’s across the board. Nobody should be immune from jokes. My favorite moment with Willie is the fake Scotchtoberfest to catch Bart
And it was just him making a play for the role himself. And then some other Indian that tried to steal scripts so they could try and get a spot themselves.
Not surprised at all.

Which has the same energy as 'I have black friends so it's not racist' but normies will fucking eat it up.
Who's probably an expat or born on american soil.
Nobody wants Dindu Creed

Leftards are egomaniacs, as you've seen from the interrogation logs of the marketing team.
We already have Tyrone vs Cops!

Wait, what do you mean 'pricing strategy'?

When you say subscription service, do you mean separate from the existing Ubisoft subscription service? They’ve offered a monthly fee to access all their games for quite a long time; is this exempted from that?
Looks like its part of that, I stopped playing Ubisoft games so long ago that I didn't know that was a thing.
Also why are people signed up to that, even Amazon prime or Xbox/PSN is cheaper than that plus more chance to get games worth playing.

Funny, could have sworn they were against racist grandparents just a few years ago 🙄
The one thing that show did was give me new joke material. I always get a laugh when I offer “my grandma told me” as evidence
To be fair, everyone hates Assassin's Creed Shadows.
Whites also hate it when their culture and heritage is blackwashed, only they are the only group not allowed to complain.

Japan is currently the target of globohomo efforts for being too locolhomo, anything to smear them and denigrate their culture
