    The saddest/most hilarious part is that the people whinning are completely ignoring the fact that Yasuke seems to be less “main character” and more “costar”. It seems like you have the option to play as a Japanese Shinobi for the overwhelming majority (if not entirety) of the core game if that’s your preference. I guess they probably still view that as pandering though. Lord knows there have never been female assasins, lol.

      yeah they’re deliberately ignoring that. making a sengoku period game is real lazy and using Yasuke is probably cynical on the part of the corporation but he’s cool and they were never going to make a game about expelling the Ainu from Honshu or something. These are the cowards who made far cry 5 the way it is in a world where wolfenstein exists.
