Remember they said they came up with this game idea organically. This reminds me of the post from some hack game journalist who said “do you want to go back to the days when some white dudes were making games”. I guarantee “some white dudes” would’ve come up with a far superior game
They would not have even made this shit. Some white dudes would've probably set one AC in Japan years ago, focus on shinobi, maybe to fit on with the original canon about missionaries secretly being Templar and spread their influence there. I don't even get what this game now is supposed to be about, who are even the villains anymore?! It'll probably be about how women are great and communism is good.
Previously known as the oriental, which apparently somehow became offensive. I still don’t know how or why. The Orient was just the geographical name of a certain part of the world so that you could clarify which type of Asian you were talking about, right?
No, I can’t tell a Chinese from a Japanese from a Korean just by looking at them. But nor could they tell a Brit from an Aussie from a Canadian either. So the catch all term THEY use is “white”, the same way that the catch all term we used was “oriental”.
Only it’s somehow wrong when we do it because apparently everything we ever do is wrong and evil. So now I just say gook or chink. Thanks libs 👍

The chinese have fatter round faces, japanese are longer and more angular. Important life skill cmon, we might have to ally with one of these against the other, we can't just get them to yell lollapalooza
Ubisoft has a history of being retarded enough that I could have believed a lot of this was just them blundering their way into more controversies through sheer dumbassery.
But we are well passed the level when that's possible, and it being a straight attack is the only logical option.
The last decade has gone by so fast most of my examples of "recent dumbassery I recall from them" is closing in on a decade away, so fair point.
But honestly, it was really only them I'd give that benefit to. And only because of how many times they flubbed something so severely they were clearly retarded more than malicious.
This game however, is well into malice and has been for quite some time.
Unfortunately, putting it in a Confucius type quote doesn't make it more true.
Overreactions are one of the quickest ways to deflate yourself and any movement you have, because they leave glaring holes in your ability to defend yourself from criticism. You only have to look at the Left and how useless 90% of their once powerful labels and attack vectors have become. A significant amount of people now barely flinch at being called racist, sexist, homophobic whereas they once would instantly balk if it was merely insinuated.
That is what treating stupidity (or ignorance) as malice everytime gets you. Complete devaluing of your position over time to the point of uselessness.
However, my point wasn't to say this wasn't malicious. Only that sometime ago I could believe it was simply because of the method in which they tried to act betrayed how ignorant and clumsy they were. A "Jesus Christ is my nigga" type attempt to appeal backfiring. Now I have no reason to believe this game isn't made in malice, and they are capable of such.
I am amazed, though not surprised, that they would do pronoun nonsense in this trainwreck of a game. If I didn't know any better I'd say it was made specifically to piss off the japanese.
they like the idea of corrupting things that are good. They see a woman in Japan who in real life was known as being very honourable and loyal to her husband and turn her in to an adultarer that slept with a nigger.
this is already a hint on its own, but can anyone guess the ethnic background of most of the people in top level positions within the companies that made games like this happen? maybe we could spot some patterns...

I wonder how much of a connection this game is even going to have to the assassin order or the templars.
I believe it. The same way termites organically figure out how to eat your house. It's who they are.
Also one of the early developers came out and said the game was originally very different and it was a Japanese male and female protagonist
Just remember that they're doing the same to Japan that they already did to white western nations.
They're white adjacent/passing so it's fine to shit all over Asians, especially when it's the lefts darling, the darkies doing it.
Some Asians.
If they're the "Asians" that go around raping people, or are notorious for refusing to use toilets...those ones are off limits! Off limits!
But any successful Asians with respectable culture and values must be destroyed along with the Hwites.
It's a british thing to falsely equate abhuman monsters and creatures that rejected their own humanity with the noble asian.

The man who invented Lululemon was preparing us for just such a geopolitical eventuality.
Sounds like a straight up cultural attack on Japan.
It sounds like it because it is.
Bonus, the woman is an ancestor of the current Emperor, so ubislop is implying the Japanese royals aren't fully Japanese.

Hanlon's Razor hasn't been valid for at least a decade now. There is no stupidity, there is only enemy action at this point.

I saw a quote about a month ago.
If you treat incompetence/ stupidity as malice, both will go away
If you treat malice as incompetency/stupidity, both will keep growing unchecked
(I know I butchered the phrasing, but the idea is the same)

I’m sure Oda Nobunaga would have been perfectly fine with his married little sister getting blacked.
Why are there romance options in an Assassin's Creed game, anyway?
Much less such gay and disrespectful ones...
Because Mass Effect had an effect on western game studios.
Ezio was a player back in AC 1,2 and 3 but that was toxic masculinity.

I am fairly certain they are suing Ubisoft over using that one shrine that they allow to be desecrated in the game.

Of course they'd make a black man romantically persue a married woman.
