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.
Does the Yakuza care? Aren't they just their version of mafia?
I mean they know to manage PR really well.
Whenever there's a national disaster, they cease rival conflicts and help the affected areas, getting the public to more tolerate them.
Can you imagine the brownie points they'd get beating up racist French game devs shitting on their culture and history. It'd be only less points than killing pedos.
They also got a lot of national pride so when shit like this happens or foreigners come and "johnny somali" the locals, Yakuza and Yakuza adjacent would coerce and intimidate an apology out of the moron to garner public sentiment.
Over a video game? I doubt it, I think Ubisoft is just afraid of otakus causing a scene at their events more than the Yakuza.
Not that I think anyone should go test, but I imagine that’s overstated because as far as I know, they didn’t do anything about Johnny Somali, who you’re rightly using as the poster-boy for disruptive foreigner.
