The problem with dealing with an extremely conformist, collectivist society is you end up in situations like this. There being a single possible way to talk about their history or society without insulting them.
Japan can be really stupid about that, its why Nobunaga is 400% evil and literally Satan anytime they need a villain, but Ubisoft has no leeway or benefit of the doubt left after all the other bullshit they are pulling here.
I actually wonder if that applies to the DEI nutters, now that you bring that up...
Yes, I have seen him portrayed both in a positive (The Ambition of Oda Nobuna is one case where I've seen a heroic Nobunaga) and negative light before - according to another user on c/gaming, the same can be said of Akechi Mitsuhide, who betrayed him, but there's still a lot of respect for the guy to have made people angry about this.
100%. The questionable portrayal of both Nobunaga and Akechi might have been forgiven if it wasn't for all the shit they pulled with Yasuke and the upset it caused the Japanese.
