My Defense For The Criticisms of the Black Ninja in the New Assassin's Creed

There is a ass creed game where you play a black woman during the slavery era of America. Had a weird gimmick of changing outfits to alter abilities and what places you could freely roam.

She was a black girl lucky enough to be adopter by a rich white family so she had a high society type dress that would allow her access to most public places but combat and climbing I believe where restricted. Had a slave outfit forget what abilities it gave or removed. Then the typical assassin outfit which let you play like a normal creed game.

This was the tweet being passed around, but again, it looks like they were describing AssCreed Memories instead.

where's the character creation... this is 2024, jesus christ

Generic create-a-character characters don't tend to work in a narrative driven game where the protagonist is a fleshed out character. Not sure why some people seem to think every game should have character creation.

Yeah, it's really weird to say that set characters are some kind of relic of the past that we should have evolved beyond

Imagine if an AC game in Africa had a white protagonist

The discord would not be the same at all.

Assassin's Creed is the series where you jump off the tallest building in town and survive unscathed by landing in a pile of leaves. Do I have that correct?

I completely agree with your point but calling Ubisoft protagonists "fleshed out characters" is extremely generous.

Why are people fighting over this nonsense and not focusing on them making a single player game always online? We saw what they do with these games. It will eventually have the servers get shutdown and become unplayable.

There actually was a historical black samuraia pretty famous one too. His name was Yasuke.

like, I never even knew there was an assassins creed Japan game but even I knew about Yasuke. Hes a pretty famous figure for the era. Like were talking musashi miyamoto levels of fame, here. Yasuke literally worked for nobunaga.

Youd think Id have seen Yasuke in Fate/Grand Order by the way you guys are describing him as fame on par with Musashi.

When we get annual events centered around Nobunaga and the feudal period, to the point that they add characters like random Shinsengumi member #27 or the literal shitpost that is Mysterious Ranmaru X (there is an entire planet of Mori Ranmarus who fought for custody of Nobunagas head after s/he was entrusted to it for safekeeping), but Yasuke is nowhere to be seen, I cant help but feel youre severely overstating his importance.

Yasuke is of little to no importance in Japan. However, he is of great importance to black people who enjoy Japanese culture, history, and/or entertainment.

No, were not talking Musashi tier of fame. But I bet more people in this topic know Yasuke than Toshiie Maeda, unless their entire knowledge specifically revolves around Samurai Warriors.

There was even an anime based on Yasuke on Netflix a few years ago. It was called Yasuke.

You are really fucking triggered over this.

The hatred towards Yasuke is 100% because he's black. In todays world having a Black man play in glorious japan samurai land causes chuds heads to explode in rage. They'll never say it's because he's black but, you know it is. It was always because he's black. That's the whole point of this: they don't want black people to be seen or heard of in-games.

I see numerous posts upvoted on reddit blatantly hating Black people. Like genuine hatred.

Also in todays world, society is defined by reddit upvotes. Ill take that over society being defined by how many people are hanging from a tree any day.

Just say you want to roleplay as a black man killing Japanese

Thats what your argument s like.

Your point? The racist echo-chambers aren't contained to the deepest bowels of the Internet anymore. This race war shit is spreading and brain washing our youth. Yt influencers are fanning the flames of it purposely getting our youth angry at woke", DEI, etc.

People didnt care about being an Asian male in a hundred different games set in Japan where you play as a white guy like Nioh. Its because hes black lets not kid ourselves. People just project their racial purity shit onto historical japan, imagining it as this honourable monoracial utopia while at the time it was fairly diverse. So no, you're wrong and I'm better then you.

Lol did you really try to twist this into racism against Japanese people??

Are you implying that you can only be racist against black people?

Has Assassin Creed ever had an asian protag before?
Getting upset the character is black is dumb, however if they shafted an asian protag for this that is something.

You literally made a post in another topic saying Yasuke was overused in games and media. Weird how you've now changed your rhetoric.

Its pretty tiring to hear people cling to Yasuke as if he was some major figure.

He had a really mediocre Netflix anime (where he played second fiddle to a random little girl and a bunch of mechs), was a random extra boss in Nioh, and so on, yet people keep acting like he was some badass on par with Nobunaga.

Holy shit he's going full mask off lmao

There are two protagonists in this game. The other is a Japanese woman.

You are really fucking triggered over this.

Then make a waifu Yasuke and a male ninja.

Problem solved.
