It helps to remember that "everyone" in this context is actually just a small subset of internet users who have nothing better to do than complain about things online. This is not the attitude or opinion of the actual majority.

Knowing that doesn't make their rhetoric any less rampant and annoying.

It's okay, there's literally a smaller minority of gamers that think AC is a failure. They don't matter because their refusal to play new AC games hasn't made a dent in sales for Ubi. But they'll sure love to tell you about how AC hasn't been good since the 1st one, as if anyone gives a shit.

I saw on reddit that Ubisoft was thinking of adding a white guy samurai because of the outrage. Why the fuck can't they just add a Japanese samurai if they're gonna do that?

Yeah I'm sure that's the reason for the outrage. Cause those people are oh so concerned about male Asian roles.

No. One of the other times in the series that a person was "in the wrong country" it was a Welsh guy. If it was actually anything that wasn't just about racism they would bring him up as a problem as well.

Mortal Kombat 1 made their Asian-based characters look more Asian and less white and the same types of people got pissed, so...

Hattori Hanzo and Kotaro Fuma have already been in a hundred games, so whatever.

Historically known Kunoichi are pretty damn rare, I wonder if they'll even have a single one in the game talk to the OC Female Ninja.

The best part is there is zero records of a kunoichi ever fighting or assassinating anyone (lot of records of female samurai who fought in battle, but no ninja). Yet the people crying about historical realism take issue with a guy documented to have fought in at least one battle and possibly two others.

They aren't actually aliens. Unless the lore got retconned. They are an intelligent species that existed on earth before humanity

If there are records, doesn't that mean they sucked at their job?

According to the "real" history bros even existing records don't count, so if you have none, you extra didn't exist in a fictional setting.
