When you have this much of an immediate establishment push to try and 'prove' he was, it's obviously a falsehood.
I get less resistance from saying we should replace all politicians with dogs than them trying to claim the ONLY black guy in Japan at the time somehow became effectively nobility than just an oddity they kept around.
It's simply amazing how, once the left takes a position on something, the marching orders get pushed out, and now we will be absolutely inundated with this stuff. Seriously - everyone is going to be an expert on ancient Japan, and all of these "experts" are going to be absolutely certain that this inconsequential nobody was "A SaMUrAi!"
It's like, every hill - to the left - is a hill to die on. Every. Single. Hill. Once something is their tribe's take on something, it is to be defended religiously.
Just as an aside, I wonder how long it will be before revealing that you are of the opinion that the guy probably wasn't a samurai gets you banned from any large sub on reddit?
They know that a preference cascade can easily unravel every victory they’ve had in this culture war, so it is imperative that they never give even an inch to the chuds.
This should work against them at some point - things can only get so retarded before casuals turn on this shit. Although I honestly thought the line was drawn well before “widespread support for drag shows for children”.

You mean it doesn't already?
Since they want to die on every hill, we need a tactic on meme/psy op warfare that's equivalent to the WW1 tactic of digging under hills, planting explosives and removing said hill with them on it.
Illustrating clear contradictions in leftist ideology causes legitimate mental anguish for these people. Cognitive dissonance isn’t fun. They can pretend to brush it off in public, but their own brains aren’t listening to the excuses.
Ironically, our words are violence, but only because leftists are mentally ill.
I think the closest would be making one hill fight another hill. Like with the Israel/Palestine thing. They can't help themselves. Find anything that would catch a spark and fan the flames on it.
"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."
The Japanese warlord who allegedly kept him as an ''exotic curiosity servant'' ( not as a samurai ) overshared everything of his life in the form of poetry, yet didn't mention ''Yasuke'' in any of his writings.
We should get a campaign started for something else without any strong evidence: Yasuke was a wife beater. Black guy from North Africa, statistically the odds are in favor of it being true over the samurai theory.
I just realized Yasuke is a modern Donderklau. There was a guy named Mae who would research and then write adventure stories about other cultures. If he didn't know an aspect, it became very eastern European with a skin change.
Donderklau or Thunder Hand was a white guy who joined the Navajos and became blood brothers with the great chiefs. It's a matriarchal society that doesn't like blood.
Characters like this show up all the time in literature. Jon Smith and Pocahontas probably never met, but he wrote a tell all story in his 80's to pay rent. Guess what we believe today?
Most of AC is inserted figures. This is just taking it to the absurd.
That's a big thing for me. Assassin's Creed (though I haven't played most) are like Forrest Gump and the point is you play a historical nobody rubbing elbows with famous people.
For the first time they're desperate to put in a """"real"""" historical figure in Yasuke, and the only reason seems to be because Yasuke was probably a N.
Actually that's a fun point. "Assassin's Creed doesn't use real people as protagonists so yasuke isn't real."
What is happening is Ubisoft has to make every game diverse.. no matter what. A game where all the characters are 100% japanese means they lose out on ESG score. Asians are white adjacent, so in their eyes its 100% white character game. Every game will have a black person in it no matter what the context, historical accuracy and significance.
These days.. video games with medieval europe is like 25%-33% black. In 10 years, video games in medieval europe will be 50% black. Feudal Japan will then be 25%-33% black.
It's probably another cudgel to push Japan to accept more N----rs into the country to cause social cohesion and trust. The "Blacks were always in Japan" angle lol.
Goddamn it's an ubishit game. Who the fuck cares? They only produce trash. So why are you upset that the trash they produce continues to be trash? Let this game die like Floyd.
Why is fighting these people such a hassle? They blatantly ignore facts and now I have to learn their dumbass language to beat them in an argument they are just gonna write off anyway? I miss when we could just call these people retards and move on with the day
this doesn't work because they don't care about hypocrisy. whether consciously or unconsciously, all they care about is advancing the party. they will change the truth and bend the universe to their will to make this happen.

"Fact is, medieval Japan and the Roman Empire were more socially liberal and more diverse than the Usa today..."
You mean it doesn't already?

That was the beauty of "It's Okay to be White" and "Islam is Right about Women."
The Left was willing to die defending those hills.

Or "Indian Nationalists are right about Islam".

Can’t wait until a couple years from now when history books will start saying Yasuke was an important figurehead in feudal Japan…
he was the emperor, n shit
There needs to be Ai art of "Johnny Somali" as Yasuke.
well, at least they're dead.
Obligatory copypasta:

It literally never happened. The Shinchoko-ki is not only pretty damn detailed, but it's a primary source at that.
Who is spending their time assembling such a massive list of information (most of it probably made up) over a video game? Losers
Prob a mod
It's all made-up.
The chans taught me to never underestimate weaponized autism. Sometimes they can be a force to perpetuate good, other times evil.
That is literally one whole post, too. No foolin
The Japanese warlord who allegedly kept him as an ''exotic curiosity servant'' ( not as a samurai ) overshared everything of his life in the form of poetry, yet didn't mention ''Yasuke'' in any of his writings.
the fact that he doesn't have a family name or a surname is the defining piece of evidence that he was indeed not Samurai.
I heard Karl Marx was a rapist...

Lmao at the number of leftists on x defending this corporate slop
He is about as legitimate as Anna Frank was

Thus, my meme. "No."
