One glaring thing i noticed that people have missed is that Yasuke had no last name (family name). In ancient times, Japanese peasants didn't have last names only the nobility and the samurai did. So the fact that Yasuke has no last name/family name and was never given one means he was never accepted as a samurai. (besides the fact that you know....the title of samurai was passed down through blood and you couldn't just become one anyways)
Of course this is just if Yasuke did exist, but he didn't.
It’s malicious. Woke SJWs are genuinely racist against Japan. Western Game Devs, particularly of the Indie variety, and Western Game “Journalists” and media personalities are particularly guilty of hating Japan and we can see that in decades of coverage towards Japanese games. The act of using a black man instead of a Japanese character in feudal Japan is blatantly racist and a humiliation ritual.
They hate'em cause they can't be 'em.
Japanese game devs have created products and franchises that can be enjoyed to this very day, and in some cases, even if you don't speak japanese. Wokeoids devs of both corporate and indie flavor have never managed to make anything fun - they depend on frameworks, bloatware and managed third party sales systems to create games that behave less as games, and more as lectures on ideology.
They thought that by becoming game devs, they could control the narrative and break into our hobby to become our new masters. Instead, they broke their teeth on the walls of reality and are haemohorraging money with every tottering step they make, becoming dependent on federal money to even exist for any period of time.
That's why they're so desperate. That's why they're so afraid.
