Disrespect Japanese Culture!

[Bartzabel]

After reading threads on Twitter/X about this game I decided not to buy this game!
Disrespecting any countries culture is not the way of wanting people to buy this game.

which is not male or female, yes. see? you're learning.

I said a person who has pronouns "they" is a nonbinary person.
What is your problem?

me? i don't have a problem.
i'm just saying nonbinary is not male or female, therefore, cannot be gay.

and again, syndicate also had a nonbinary character.
once again, no one cared then.

It doesn't disrespect Japanese culture, it honors it. It's a top seller in Japan. Also gamers do not like snowflakes who get offended and easily triggered.

Wrong. You don't speak for me, You speak for yourself and no one else. What I don't like is someone with a sanctimonious attitude insisting they are right and just. The only evidence you offer is opinion and anecdotal at best.

how's that? when Japan deliberated on it because it's disrespectful and the prime minister isn't happy, for various reasons over the game.

show me your source for numbers on it being a top seller in Japan?

It is very unlikely to see a black person in feudal Japan.
It is extremely unlike if you have a black person in feudal Japan that person to be a samuai.
It is almost if not impossible if you found a black person which by some miracle is a samurai that person to be gay also.
No imagine that person also meets a person who identifies as they/them->non-binary.
It is clearly forced. Woke puke. Clearly no respect for Japan history.

The main reason the game went to the Diet was because there were copyrighted shrines and depictions of them being destroyed, which was allegedly fixed on the Day 1 patch.

Oda Nobunaga himself, who the real figure Yasuke (https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%BC%A5%E5%8A%A9, if you won't take Wikipedia as a source, you can see the bottom of the page where it links to the actual book sources.) served, likely had a relationship with Mori Ranmaru, and gender was not so clear-cut in those times as it is to Western society these days.

You can read more about that here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_in_Japan

But go ahead and erase actual history.

people who buy this game are blatently showing that they're racists.

Ursprungligen skrivet av Call Sign: Raven:

By your logic, we shouldn’t buy any video games. Can’t think of many that are respectful of other cultures, either. I think it is time to acknowledge that gaming is a fantasy, always set in fictional universes. Fake outrage only lasts a week anyway

Other games don't pretend to be culturally sensitive and historically accurate then proceed to commit faux pas after faux pas. you'd have to be a racist to support ubisoft which sounds like you are.

chronically, lonely online, dumb american fatsos pretending to be japanese and trying to find anything to back up racist arguments and saying ''woke'' ♥♥♥♥ instead of having fully embraced your unloving father's racism to just say the n word already getting fed by even more loser, lonier, older men posting non stop on the internet because they get the attention of future forever losers like you

go outside, be nice to others, it's not too late for you to end up being this pathetic your whole life

Maybe you should stick to your advice instead, go outside, be nice to others.

Progressiveness is a disease. Good for Japan calling this one out.

well tbh, progress for the sake of progress is wrong, but progress that benefits everyone, is good.

but yes, Japan doesn't seem to happy about this and with current state of things, i don't think they are going to shrug it off.

They didn't disrespect any country's culture any more than any other previous Assassin's Creed game. The only difference with this game versus other AC games in that context is the reaction from people

"Fake outrage" has closed quite a few woke studios recently, just saying.

prime minister of japan disagrees :Rubber_Duck: they literally went to court about the disrespect on their culture

Who cares what the Japanese prime minister thinks? Games have consistently been criticized by governments throughout the entire history of gaming. Remember when GTA 4 had Hillary Clinton's face on the statue of liberty? That's because they were making fun of her thoughts about their previous games and everyone thought it was funny. Literally exactly the same thing

Veilguard was made by one studio. And it was a bad game, with poorly written dialogue. Point still stands, fake outrage only lasts a week.

SS:KtJL, That one Hero shooter I can't even remember the name anymore, Alan Wake, Spiderman 2, smaller games like dustborn but let's focus on AAA budget games, Forspoken, Avowed, SW:Outlaws, and the list goes on. Outrage works insofar as informing the consumer of what they are going to buy, and they will then not buy it. All I'm saying is that there is enough consumer sentiment to make a difference. It's still early to say but for an AC game, selling bellow 10 mil units total would be pretty abysmal and I'm sure we can both agree.

its almost like hiring skittle haired "activists" with zero experience and a lifetime spent in communist echo chambers is a bad idea...
