Ubisoft Showcases a One Piece Sword Replica as Yasuke's Katana at Japan Expo - Techopse - Trading Enthusiasm for Anger
Just in case you needed another reason to hate Ubisoft and their efforts to culturally colonize Japan’s most coveted historical period, which features the revisionism of a historically insignificant figure into a makeshift Samurai warrior of whom such “acc...
I stand by my previous statement that Ubisoft are the Johnny Somali of the gaming industry
I'm expecting any Ubisoft sales in Japan to be at zero for the foreseeable future, what will hurt them more is this might've added the weebs to the list too.
Considering their history with Far Cry and The Division of making blatantly political games and then going "noooooo, its not meant to represent anything ha ha" this just seems like they are trying their same old trick.
Problem being its not 2017 anymore when you could do that and kinda be left alone, and the race war is probably the most hateful of all the Intersectional ones right now.
All the money going into consultancy to add blacks and gays and uglies into a game... but no money to go into hiring a couple of actual japanese to make sure the game and its marketing isnt dumb as hell or to make sure its authentic.
When I was growing up, every movie, publisher, and many games had a continuity job. It was called different things, but were all similar in, you hired an expert to make sure you didn't fuck up the lore or history too badly.
Now, these DEI activists are the consulting experts. We're seeing the history re-writes in real time. Being gaslit about statues, who invented what, black vikings. It's the China great revolution on a global scale.
At this point, a stoner paid in two weed brownies per day would be doing a better job of accuracy and continuity. "Dude, like, the Japanese black guy... Why's he writing Chinese? And I love flowers, man, peace and free love, but flowers turn into food, they don't exist at the same time, they either shouldn't be harvesting the plants, or the flowers should have ascended to a new state of, like, being."
Somehow, Funimation's lawyers returned.
Stolen banner asset, stolen sword asset, truly representative of black culture.
Hey that's my

Ubisoft needs to understand that that's a Houthi sword, not a Nobunigga sword
Hideyoshi? More like Hideyoshit
Ghost of Tsushima literally laid the groundwork for Western studios on how make a game based in historical Japan and have everyone including the Japanese like it.
Moreover, I bet these fools simping for Yasuke online are the same ones who tried to say it was racist for a Western studio to make Ghost of Tsushima.
They’re just making it easier for Microsoft to buy them I guess. Maybe MS funds SBI and is trying to devalue people to reduce their buy out prices.
