    I only use reddit for hobbies but lately it’s started recommending me posts from the Asmongold subreddit for some cursed reason, and they’re all just bitching and whining about the SJWs and their NARRATIVE and how they don’t care about HISTORICAL ACCURACY and how the next game will have you play as a DISABLED BLACK TRANS WOMAN and they’re doing FORCED DIVERSITY and blah blah fuckin blah. It’s seriously like 2015 never ended in there, I’m reading all the exact same stupid gotcha points I thought maybe had some substance as a dumb 20 year old who’s youtube recommends were full of Sargon.

      Yasuke is a historical figure tho, it was never about historical accuracy. They just hate black people.

      Lmao they’re also doing the thing they think yt woke people do: get angry about something on minorities behalf.

      Japanese people seem excited about yasuke, but they’re already bitching on their behalf bc “Japanese people want to be represented in vg”.

        It’s all cynical and stupid but it makes sense when you remember these are gamers we’re talking about here

        Damn near every single competitive multiplayer game is the same in regards to the metagame. It’s all monkey see monkey do. You get beaten by someone doing something new, you complain about how broken it is and then you adapt by doing the exact same thing. That’s how the average gamer operates

        So from these incel’s perspective they think “those sjws beat us by talking about minority representation in games so we’ll do teh same but for glorious Nipon where we get all the cartoons we jerk off to” but in real life it doesn’t work that way, they don’t understand a damn thing

      A lot of those motherfuckers never grew up, there are still parts of the internet that ten years later are still rehashing gamergate filth

      Insane to complain about historical accuracy with Assassin’s Creed, like Yasuke (an acutal historical figure) is woke nonsense but the eternal war between the Assasins and the Templars (and aliens I think) is fine.

        the only weird thing about him being a player character is that usually the assassin is a made up person who meets actual historical figures, but we know dick fuckall about him so he’s a blank enough slate for their purposes.
