I heard the latest shit they did was this , having AC Shadows merch with a broken tori gate which many there relate to the atom bombings.
Between ordinary citizens and Yakuza, I don't know who'd manage to beat them first if they DID come, can safely say French Japanese relations are at an all time low right now.
At first I thought it was just pure ignorance and Westerncentrism that kept them thinking they could get away with all their nonsense in this game. Standard Ubisoft retardation.
But at the rate of direct and very difficult to pull off by accident fuckups they have, this feels deliberate. Like they are actively trying to accomplish some task through sheer offense against the Japs.
At this point, they're more racist to Japanese than FDR, with none of the justifications.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was pulled by Ubisoft management realising how racist the team behind AC Shadows is and if they were left to go to Japan they'd end up running around Tokyo as Johnny Somali clones.
It's as if someone at Ubisoft is deliberately trying to get the Japanese people's attention and warn them of how toxic western media is becoming by being as offensive as possible. Like writing a message on a bomb casing they know will fail to detonate.
They are dead serious. Yes, they will expect you to do the same to your ideas. Yes, this was supposed to prime your youth to integrate refugees. They literally want you to imagine a gay PoC as a national savior. Save yourselves.
