People in the comments here saying "It's just a game. Who cares" are obviously lacking context on the issue. Him being black is not the inherent issue. The issue is that there are literally only a few records of Yasuke with no evidence of him being a samurai, but Ubisoft has decided to go with the narrative that he was a legendary samurai and advertise it as based on history for their on monetary gain and agenda, spreading false information. So not only are they disrespecting Japan, but they're disrespecting Yasuke because they're just using him because he's black. They're trying to back pedal with their words.

"We're at the end of Sengoku era, in a turning point of Japan history. Assassin's Creed is well-known for its depiction of the history and accurate recreation of the world and it's what players can expect with Assassin's Creed Shadows. We're showing real historical figures, such as Oda Nobunaga and a lot of events that happened during that time, so you're not only playing in feudal Japan, but learning about this fantastic time period." - Charles Benoit, Game Director of Assassin's Creed: Shadows

Yasuke's Wikipedia has been edited to say he was a samurai. Thomas Lockley, a fake historian at Nihon University, has been caught doing this to promote his fictional book that he pushed as history to the west, again to make a buck. Ubisoft consulted with him to push this narrative that Yasuke is a legendary samurai with no regard for the countless number of actual Japanese samurai. It's historical revisionism. That's the main issue.

Anyone that calls Ubisoft out now is called a racist, when they're the racists. The other issues include not using a Japanese samurai (because apparently Japanese males are not included when it comes to diversity), and so many historical inaccuracies in the visual design, asset theft from reanactment groups and shrines, using One Piece items as promotional material, etc. The list goes on. There's so much more to the issue that this article fails to mention. Him being black is just the tip of the iceberg.

@kaimycahl According to Japanese reports, yes, it was a case of abysmal parenting. While the child was in a child seat, she was not wearing a seatbelt according to the mother. Furthermore, the mother apparently put the windows up herself except the little girl's side without checking, and only noticed the girl with her head stuck later when there was no response from the girl when called (20 mins after leaving). So she either accidentally put the girl's window up with the rest of them, or they weren't locked and the girl did it herself.

And this is why there is a discrepancy in wages between men's and women's soccer. It's simply about demand and which brings in more revenue. Nothing beyond that.

I'm going to watch it though as I always do. Nadeshiko back in 2011 were brilliant. I remember being in awe over how well they played.

Wow, I genuinely thought that was an old photo of him at first.

Don't think this will stop all those mamacharis speeding past you with kids on the back. They're the absolute worst.

Why are they wearing masks out in the open like that? It's 2023 already.

Talks alot this guy.

Talks a lot and is overly enthusiastic with his words it's rather cringe. Oh and the constant flip flopping.

She should go back home. She got too involved in politics. Everyone I know who supported her at the very beginning don't support her now.

At this rate what difference does it make if the traveller is vaccinated or not? Everyone around me who's getting it is vaccinated, so it clearly makes little difference.

Extremely low numbers for a Monday.

Keep your masks off, stay outside.

Simple.

Another jump in numbers. Okinawa too.

Keep your masks handy, and be prepared to ride out the next few months staying inside.

Lol. Talk about being melodramatic. Stay locked up inside if you want. Not me.

Smart logo design, simplistic and distinctive.

The logo is just a blatant copy of the Mos Burger logo. What are you talking about lol

‘She’. If you can’t manage basic reading I can’t give any merit to anything you say.

Did you just assume their gender? Unbelievable.

/s

The mother pushed the boy and wanted to jump herself but couldn't. Can't imagine what the sister is going through. Tragic.

Lol I was merely posting an update because the mother said herself she pushed him and tried to jump herself yet people down vote regardless.

What sport is breaking? Break dancing? Please tell me that isn't correct

Yes, breakdancing isn't correct. It's called breaking. Hopefully you've learned something.

Understandable, as the opening lines are "Deutschland über alles, uber alles in der Welt, which means "Germany over everything, Than anything in the world..."

How ignorant can you be? You do realise that that's the original first stanza which isn't even sung anymore? It hasn't been used since the war. They use the third stanza now. Best not to spread misinformation and just acknowledge the fact that Brits just can't help themselves when it comes to bringing up the war in football.

I feel like I'm going to throw up my lunch after reading that.

I once had a guy run a red light and miss me by a meter. He had earphones in and was looking at his smartphone. He was completely oblivious to the fact that he nearly hit me. I was fuming.

Another time, a guy clipped my shoulder as he tried to squeeze past me and a group of obaasans. He even had the audacity to grunt as though it was my fault.

The worst offenders though are the mothers in their mama charis with kids in the back. They're always racing down the footpath. It really annoys me how they expect pedestrians to give way to them. I make a conscious effort these days to NOT get out of the way when they cross onto my side. Why should I have to move?
