Japanese politician Satoshi Hamada recently signaled he might bring up Ubisoft and their upcoming game Assassin's Creed Shadows before the Japanese diet for altering the country's history, architecture, and more as well as potentially using AI to generate ...
I'll laugh if we get the Japanese Diet version of 'these motherfuckers have gone too far!' and this is the tipping point for them on cultural preservation.
I'd say it's more important for Japan as their culture is still mostly positive, they'd have a lot less negatives if they kick the few 'refugees' out and then did something about Sony strangling Anime streaming to make it more profitable for studios.
Realistically though what can they do against the company? The most they'd be able to I suspect is some kind of official denouncing of Ubisoft's 'muh historical accuracy' claim and declaring that Yasuke was never a samurai. Ubisoft may respect that if they care and simply claim the game as a total work of fiction instead. Jurisdiction is a thing though and Ubisoft is a French company, they're under no obligation to do anything and the French government could tell the Japanese to fuck off if they complained directly.
The best thing gamers can do overall is just mass boycott it, it looks like it's going to be typical third person open world generic ubisoft shite anyway so I doubt even the normies will go for it.
It'll have the same effect as Egypt denouncing that Cleopatra Netflix shit. Nothing direct but normies start realising how woke it is thanks to the natives protesting it so just stay clear.
We're actually getting very successful in fully associating 'woke' with 'shit' (even though the left do it themselves) so as soon as normies REALISE it's woke they are getting more used to bailing than staying for it.
So far as I understand, Japan's constitution only allows freedom of speech in the individual sense. If the diet decides to censor a company acting in a publishing capacity, I believe they can do so. Press censorship has been a feature of Japan since MacArthur ordered controls on the press in Sept 1945.
And then they ended that, because Hana Kimura wouldn't turn her phone off.
A formal legislative condemnation of the concept of Yasuke would be absolute gold dude. The tears would flow for a decade.
