I've never watched Afro Samurai so I don't know how they handled making a black dude a samurai. I'm guessing they didn't say he was an actual real person though. That's the difference with the whole Yasuke thing.
AC3 did the Native American during the revolutionary war and no one cared because they didn't claim the dude was a real guy with a real history.
Afro Samurai has Samuel L Jackson starring as Afro and his friend Monkey. Afro has the voice he uses for serious characters and Monkey has the voice he used in Pulp Fiction.
I think a black samurai being in a show where he fights a white cowboy is on a completely different planet from this shit.
Because it's a clearly fictional story you imbecile.
The white cowboy has a fucking third arm, the headband gives you immortality and prevents war. There's a random combination of ancient, contemporary and futuristic technology including a guy who is kept alive by being put into a robotic suit with a mascot teddy bear head. They're not claiming it's real, dude just liked rap music.
Fuck in the movie Lucy Lu's character revives Afro's dad from a single scrap of DNA with help by a scientist who is just a head on a spider robot body.

Crazy, you mean like…in the assassins creed franchise where humans were genetically engineered as a slave race by aliens who to people in the future through their genetic memories?
And don’t try and make this about 3 pieces of marketing where some SJW DEI hires got too big for their britches, or however you want to frame the “historical samurai” claims, because that’s never been what I was discussing
It’s not bad you might like it. They handle it by making the world blatantly fictional from the jump.

For sure. It should be obvious I’m not in any way defending that angle of the discussion. Clearly their motivations there range from ignorance to malevolence. I’m just trying to show that there can be other perspectives on the whole subject that aren’t necessarily solely the result of DEI brain worms.
The Last Samurai, with Tom Cruise, as another example of this kind of “outsider perspective” done well (atleast, well enough, it’s all still hollyweird after all)

Yea, Afro Samurai was fiction and they never tried to act like he was real. As far as I remember. I played the game before I saw the anime

Weird opinion considering the jap who made it was inspired by both yasuke and his love for blacks. How is that so different from this again?

The biggest problem with AC3 is that there's hardly any buildings in the US that were over 5 stories.
