>using antiwhite and antijapanese swindlers to excuse your propaganda
>fans actually dig into real historical records to expose them
I mean...they are half correct.
The interest in history is blossoming...just not how/why they want it to.
Just don't be antiwhite. Easy.

But I thought it was pure fiction, and nobody should take it seriously?
Or was that just an obvious excuse to promote wewuz conspiracy theories.

Well, technically that jew faggot who wrote the entire yasuke fanfic was considered a historian, until he lost all credibility and his job after the AC:S incident.

The main source AC Shadows used was from a 'historian' who made shit up to sell his historical fiction books.

FYI: Yasuke is completely fictional character outside of there being a black dude who served under Nobunaga, a white British teacher made up the story, wrote a book, and wrote a wikipedia article which sourcers his own books, essentially you have a real person who didn't do anything worthwhile in history who became a samurai because some english teacher cuck from Bongland wanted to get famous in Japan

They say they consult "historians", but then you check out the "historians" used by the industry and media alike, and find out things like how that one guy vidya media used to dunk on lack of diversity in Kingdom Come 1 was not actually a Czech history scholar but a guy who translates Czech history text books in English.

I wonder how smug that motherfucker felt when they cited him. His fraud about to be shoved into the forefront of pop culture.

If you want to see just how captured academia is, consider that even gaijin historians of Japan think Lockley is at best a history popularizer ie at a layman level of understanding of history. But they won't speak up because it wpuld empower "racists".

at this point who fucking cares. all these dorks who pearl clutch but pick and choose what they will and won't accept academically in text are and will get btfo'd by AI data scraping. there is literally going to be no hiding anymore behind "muh credentials" in the next 5 years for these people when a cursory AI prompt can prove them wrong.

>Historian Thierry NoΓ«l was living and working in Bolivia studying Latin American history when one of the world's biggest game-development companies got in touch.

Why the fuck consult with a Canadian living in Bolivia studying Latin America history instead of a native Latin American that has been studying Latin American history all his life? Kind of reminds me of the Yasuke fiasco with Thomas Lockley.
"We are trying to be inclusive and care about the natives views!"
"Should we consult with their specialists, then?"
"No."

leftists have the mental capacity of a goldfish which is why they think no one will remember the shit they do or say after a few months.

Aside from yasuke controversy you’re alluding to, there were tons of other historical explanations of less controversial events and practices. I learned a few things about japan I didn’t know.
