He’s offended because Yasuke is Black. Blacks aren’t allowed to be main characters in games that aren’t “Black”. See, the black guy in GTA is just fine. That game is “Black”. But a Black guy in feudal Japan is “woke”.
Yasuke isn’t even a made up character that Ubisoft created. He’s supposed a real person. But he’s Black and in Japan so it’s obvious they rammed him down our throats.
White is the default. So if a main character isn’t white then it’s obvious they went out of their way to exclude a white guy. This is why when Irishman William Adams as a Sumurai in Japan in Nioh no one cared. He’s white. He can do what he wants. But Yasuke dared to venture out of the hood. So it’s “WOKE”. 🤷🏾♂️

i just purchased a 100 shares
To be fair, the market took a dump for Labor Day. That said, lol
Heard it was bad but didnt even realize it was out. Also, the markets are just down in general right now so not sure if its poor timing or the main cause
The game is good. Got alot of flak online, people saying the game has bad stealth, repetive. But most didn't realise that the game menu hides the stealth moves and options at disposal. People literally just used the same 1 stealth attack and called the game bad.
