France Assassin's Creed: Shadows, the Japan of Ubisoft's popular game Assassin's Creed, will be released on Xbox Series X|S on November 15, 2024.
The game features two protagonists, a ninja and a samurai. It is this samurai who annoys the Japanese now.
He's a black man!
It is said that he is the first black samurai to exist in Japan history and once sold his life for Oda Nobunaga - Yasuke.
The France are not 100% nonsense. Yasuke is indeed a real person, but he has never been a samurai.
Historically, Yasuke, as a black slave, went to Japan with missionaries. He also accompanied the missionaries to meet Oda Nobunaga, which opened the eyes of Oda Nobunaga, who was the first to see a black man.
Oda Nobunaga didn't believe that black skin was born and wondered if it was something smeared. After verification, it was found that the black man did not fade at all, and it was pure natural black.
Oda Nobunaga is overjoyed, there is such an interesting and new thing in the world. When the missionaries saw that Oda Nobunaga liked it, they did what he liked and gave the black slaves as gifts.
Oda Nobunaga named the black slave "Yasuke" and often carried it with him. Like a slave, like a pet.
Oda Nobunaga cosplays in Western costumes, and the one holding an umbrella behind him is a black man. As for whether it was a black slave Yasuke, there is no conclusive evidence.
In 1582, Akechi Mitsuhide launched the "Honnoji Rebellion", and Oda Nobunaga died. The next person asked Akechi Mitsuhide to kill the black slave.
Therefore, Yasuke's only confirmed identity in the history of Japan was a black slave.
Now, you a France company,
This operation is more disgusting to Japan than directly letting a black man play the Little Mermaid and play Juliet.
The Little Mermaid and Juliet are at most "flat", replacing their skin tones. And it's all fictional story characters.
"Romeo and the "Black" Liet" was performed in Japan, and netizens complained that "it was too correct to stand it"
"The Little Mermaid" promotes "Chinese audiences discriminate against blacks" in Japan, and Japan netizens do not eat this set
A black slave, who came to Japan or became a black slave. In the end, he was not killed by the master's enemy, because he was disgusted and the black slave was as cheap as an animal and disdained to kill him. As a result, in Assassin's Creed: Shadows, he was elevated to the status of a samurai. Samurai were an aristocratic class in ancient Japan.
I am glad to see that the public mistakenly regards the pseudo-history of "Oda Nobunaga promoted black slaves to be samurai" written by Westerners as official history.
What's more, AI has concocted a lot of "old photos of black samurai", which looks as if there were black samurai back then, which is a common thing in Japan.
The photos are circulating on the Internet, and the more they spread, the more they look like the real thing. For example, the following one is very famous on the Internet. Many Westerners think that the man in the photo is "black samurai Yasuke".
Therefore, for this "Assassin's Creed: Shadow", the Japanese really can't bear it.
The lowest black slave in the West back then, ran to Japan and became an aristocratic hero and saved Japan? This is no longer political correctness in the West, but racial discrimination against Japan and even in Asia.
Japan's parliamentarians put the matter directly in front of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology: Don't keep quiet, what do you think about this?
On July 24, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology replied ambiguously: If there is content that is suspected of violating public order and good morals, it can ask for a cautious response.
Now, there is a petition for signatures online to stop the sale of Assassin's Creed: Shadows, and more than 90,000 people have signed it.
And the France company Ubisoft said: This is the freedom of creative expression.
Townsfolk comment
● Whites don't care about Japan at all. The Japan government is probably "oops, forget it".
● Now it has become "Japan has hidden the history of black samurai" and "it is strange that there are no black samurai in the shogun's mansion".
● AI photos are too powerful to spread rumors. Now it is rumored that "the black samurai elite defeated Motoko and protected Japan." And Japan has concealed this history".
● A foreign associate professor who published the pseudo-history story book is suspected of fabricating information about "black samurai Yasuke" on Wikipedia since several years ago. Now ChatGPT thinks it's an established fact. If you write "Actually, he's not a samurai", you'll be warned that you might break the rules.
●This game was originally famous for the fact that it took a lot of labor to make it after intensive research. But when the background of the story becomes Japan, it becomes sloppy and rough, why is that?
● This is no longer a problem with the game.
If you say "games are fiction", there is nothing. The root of the problem in the first place was Ubisoft's phrase "stay true to the historical facts". It has not retracted that statement until now.
● At the beginning, it was clear that the "storyline fiction" was made, and there were no problems. In the final analysis, it is to discriminate against Asians, don't admit it.
● Support the discontinuation of the sale, too bullying Japan. Ubisoft told a big lie openly, saying that it was "based on historical facts", which caused this uproar.
● Japan: Apologize!
Foreign: Why apologize to racists!
●The latest discovery is that the foreign associate professor who spread the rumor of "black samurai" also spread rumors that "the black slave trade originated in Japan."
