Was the negative reception to this and AssCreed Shadows, while the version of Yasuke in Nioh received praise, just a case of "it's fine when Japan does it"?

>>148987525 (OP)No one calls out Fate for gender-swapping dozens of European historical figures. The retarded masses will gobble up globohomo if it wears a white and red bandana.

>>148987525 (OP)Or maybe it's just because Netflix Anime suck?
>>148987525 (OP)Can't speak for the Netflix animation but Nioh's version wasn't taken as an ideological statement. Also the persistent rumors that AC Shadows' original protagonist was Hattori Hanzo but then changed to Yasuke following George Floyd's death and the BLM riots didn't help.
>>148987525 (OP)I doubt the people screaming about it heard of Nioh, or for that matter Yasuke before being told to be upset about AssCreed.
>>148987525 (OP)>while the version of Yasuke in Nioh received praiseDid he? Because he was a pretty minor character in those games.
>>148987525 (OP)It's more that the language barrier helps in preventing right-wing grifters from sparking dumb culture wars with it. They would look stupid for crying about wokeness in Google translate because they would be immediately outed as tourists.
A lot of Japanese media is progressive so they can't shit up the comments like they do with videogames and shows
>>148987731Yeah but it's Netflix "anime", so /co/

>>148987740Not just that. They can't blame the woke democrats for media that came out of Japan. Netflix and Ubisoft are "liberal media", but they would look like complete buffoons trying to claim that the companies of another country are following an agenda set by an american political party as if they give two flying fucks about our culture war.
>>148987525 (OP)it didn't receive "praise", it was just there. meanwhile assassins creed went and hired a "professor" who made a load of bullshit about yasuke and painted it as japan's black jesus and that he was better than any man who ever existed, and of course ubisoft was so happy about all that shit that they insulted anyone who probed them wrong until it was found out the guy who made all those claims was lying about everything, his books banned and he was expelled from japan's historical academy thing. this was exactly the same as when netflix claimed that Cleopatra was black according to experts (Cleopatra's actor grandma). and the whole country of Egypt, backed up by every political and historical institution called bullshit on it and denounced netflix of historical revisionism in favor of american wokeness.
>>148988277Depends on the studio and storyboarders
>>148987525 (OP)>negativeNone of the scores line up with that racist agenda
>>148987525 (OP)the Anime just suck.
Yusuke been a Black warrior in japan should be unique, on the first episode he already has to fight another black-man... and a Russian Werebear.
People wanted a more grounded story, so no one finished the anime.
Nioh pulled from history but was in no way making claims of historical accuracy, no one cared to scrutinize its version of Yasuke because he was no more ridiculous than anything else that was happening.
Asscreed generally aimed for historical accuracy, and claimed it in this case. Yes, it has the fictional assassin stuff, but it tries to weave it into the actual history in a way that it can plausibly say "this also happened in secret". What they did with Yasuke is not like having Da Vinci tinker shit for Ezio on the side, they genuinely believe (or want others to believe) the parts about him being an ornately armored super-samurai. So they took extreme liberties with his history, made him the first historical figure to be a protagonist, AND first to be non-native to his game's region. Doing all that in a time when gamers are getting increasingly fed up with the industry for exactly this sort of hamfisted activism was obviously going to go poorly.

>>148988927I liked the Benin spirit summoner. He was standard "greedy mercenary fighting for money" until the final where he risk his life to save people but yeah. You forgot.the AI killbot not to mention the giant ass mechs.
>>148987525 (OP)I stopped watching when they introduced robots in Feudal Japan.
It was not cool when Ninja Kamui did it either.
