I mean it will not be a modern take where suddenly black people are a common occurrence in Bohemia 1400. It is definitely forced and out of place and done for diversity points but I think my scenario is plausible where Vavra thought he could pull it off.
It’s not though. There’s fact he made a Muslim Mali doctor a retinue of the HRE’s King is so insanely absurd it is the direct equivalent of Asian lady at the Viking village in England for AC Valhalla. It’s entirely a modern take because it’s so not documented that they’re not evidence of ANY Mali entering Europe, let alone someone given a title by THE KING OF THE HRE. This is actually patently historically worse than Yasuke in AC shadows.
That pissed me off as much as black Heimdal (although I DO like Idris Alba as an actor) and nigs & chinks in Asgard, while Wakanda was blacker than the South African town I grew up in.
Honestly, even if Vavra and his crew found triple-authenticated evidence of Musa being in Bohemia, even if they have a Polaroid picture of him hanging out with the king, it wouldn’t invalidate what’s been said above. It was done for the sake of diversity and inclusion, regardless of whether Vavra was threatened (which he says he wasn’t) or bribed (which I personally think is more likely).
Either way, the players don’t want this shit in our games anymore. We don’t care who’s idea it was or what reasons it was done for or “how it’s handled” (as the more spineless YouTube channels keep repeating to avoid bannings). We don’t want it anymore, period.
I hope these idiots lose a lot of money
Obviously, Vavra felt he could pull it off. It was hubris to feel that way, though.
