@esqueejy:Pokemon Go has in the past generated that. Today, after recent updates, they've lost 5 million players. Even Resident evil grossed 1.2 billion, becoming the most effective series of films while having massive negative reviews. How fondly do people remember the butchering of a once likable franchise, you think?
You accuse me of having googles that blind me, but see the logic here: do nothing, everything stays the same, earn money for as long as possible vs. spend money on a bad update no one wants, lose players, get a ton of backlash, die faster.
Like...are you saying you support Reddit's API changes too? It's progressive. But there we can say it as it it, it's called cashing out. They had a service, and didn't want to provide it anymore. But with the Pokemon Go stuff, we can't say it how it is, it's "problematic" but I will anyways: Some people who changed their gender can't live up to the idealized female body so changing it to be androgynous makes it easier for them. Just like women voices have deepened 23Hz over the past 30 years. And a children's game everyone plays is a great way to spread your messages.
Those watchlists are nothing compared to the ones your people create. We watch for content to avoid, because we know it wasn't meant for us. If we are a subgroup as you say, surely you don't need us and those games will be popular anyways. I mean, just look at it! *Spider Man 2, SBI detected game, 10 million sales. Woo. SpiderMan is a huge brand! *HellDivers, noknown game, expected to get 10k players but got 12 million sales.
Yeah you don't need us, go enjoy your game. It's not like politics-free titles are doing better. And when it happens, you can wake-supporters can put out more hits on people like Grummz and Asmon.
Lastly...Smithsonian is a hit piece, not a factual magazine. The Yasuke article cites no sources. Even the Britannica doesn't, and Wikipedia discredits them both. Do you know why? Because Wikipedia cites credible sources. Doesn't matter if you don't trust Wikipedia, it's not their content...they use sources! You can see them on their page too, unlike Smithsonian! You realize the Smithsonia article redirects to a Netflix page when clicking Yasuke's highlighted name?
@esqueejy: I don't know if you understand, but games like SkullGirls, Pokemon Go, Sulcide Squad kills the Justice League, and more games have failed because of their DEl Initiatives. DEl Initiatives have been placed on watchlsits and hundreds of thousands of gamers alienate their games. Even Ubisoft stocks have crashed, and their trailer mass-disliked. I don't know how many times it'll happen again before you say "hmm, maybe these games failed for the reason I didn't want them to." I don't know how many times you need to see negative reviews as the majority of reviews to understand, this isn't a subgroup; this is people in general being tired of it.
If you want to see the trouble of the woke/anti fight, go to the Yasuke Wikipedia page. You'll find they've semiprotected even the talk page, and it's still raging on. So many are trying to edit in that he is a samurai, when every source is discretied as being factually wrong.
@esqueejy: And in thousands of years of Japanese history, he was the only convinient bridge? 100-300 million Japanese people have lived, and Yasuke was the only viable choice? It smells like the convinience of the Little Mermaid, the first interview got the job, they looked at no one else. But to humor the plausibility of it, why was Yanoe made fictionally then? Ah right, only one bridge is needed, and that bridge is Yasuke. Out of every Japanese person, he was the best choice, mhm. Forgive me, but that seems far fetched. If you are right, I suppose we'll get a banger of a story. If we don't, we know you were wrong.
@esqueejy:Facts disagree with them. I find the Wikipedia article to be enjoyable, especially the talk page. There is no evidence of him being a samurai. It's supported by many things, such as that he didn't have a family name. Even if not born in Japan, Nobunaga Oda choose not to give him one. Contrarily, the first white Samurai, Williams Adams, were given the Japanese name of Miura Anjin and sworn never to leave the country and to continue defending it.
The best we can hope for is that Assassins Creed does its typical in-lore rewrite of events. Perhaps, "Yasuke never became a samurai, realizing his lack of status would be advantageous as he would never be blamed."
@illegal_peanut:Doesn't change the fact that Yasuke was not a Samurai. For example--aside from that there was never any momument erected to him nor any scripts written to say he was a samurai--he didn't have a family name, even if not born in Japan, Nobunaga Oda choose not to give him one. Contrarily, the first white Samurai, Williams Adams, were given the Japanese name of Miura Anjin and were sworn never to leave the country and to continue defending it.
I don't know why it's so important to rewrite history and call him a Samurai. The games usually rewrite history to some extent, they can easily fix this with "he had agenda X to infiltate, he never tried to become a samurai so they never gave him the status, but secretively like an assassin he did his work, and his lack of an official status gave him clear advantage as no one thought he did it."
@esqueejy: You realize this is projecting and virtue signaling? The right wing wouldn't do DEl initiatives. How can one call the right racist and have them promote a black person? It's a left idea. And politics are annoying, because either way both sides are tonedeaf to the other. At the end of the day, the left will see this as satire mocking the right, while the right will see this as pandering to the non existance audience.
@illegal_peanut: You're contradicting yourself. You can't on one hand make the defense that IRL facts were used, then on the other hand say it's a fictional game and IRL facts doesn't matter. But to answer your question, he is based on a real person but that person was never a samurai, but a retainer. He's been speculated to have been kept as a pet more rather because of his uniquness. A well treated and respected person, but not a samurai.
@esqueejy: But Yanoe is a fictional character and can be used the same way. By your logic, they might as well have made a fictional character instead of using Yasuke.
