The way I see it, the new world is just a more extreme version of the old. The liberals who were once hand-wringing about western civilization being evil are now the ones whining about how white men are privileged. In the same vein, the people who used to worship at the altar of small government are now Trump fanatics who will accept big government so long as it comes from him and Elon. Yesteryear's moderate left is tomorrow's SJW.I don't believe that was the original intent. I don't think the same political agendas were on the table in 2007. It was a fictional story telling inversion designed to sell a game, because the focus back then was selling games and innovating. A lot has changed since then, it is a different world.
The way I see Assassin's Creed, they went way too far into making the Templars look evil while the Muslims look better. There's a difference between that, and Medieval 2 Total War where you can decide to side with Christians or Muslims on your own leisure. You can sign on with the Crusaders in the Holy Land or the Baltic States and purge the heretics and pagans in the name of Jesus Christ, or you can side with the Muslims, Byzantines, and pagans to keep the Pope's posse out of your backyard.
It doesn't surprise me in the least that Assassin's Creed as a series went woke. It was already headed that way from the start; it's just that the modern woke AC is just the final form where they stopped pretending.
My point exactly. The same people who fetishized Islam and defended it as an agent of progress and science are the same people now who are SJWs. It was a logical progression of them hating on Christianity and the West, to sucking up for Islam and going full SJW.Yes and no. It's not the same as the mondern woke left now. But during the Bush years the left had a big hard on for Islam. Especially the LGBT and European leftists.(The left only in power in France because of Islamic immigration pandering depsite being the Islamic terrorism capital of the European Union.) Even before 9/11 Hollywood was pushing Islam = Good, Christianity = Bad propaganda. Best modern example is how much the Neopagan propaganda show Vikings suck Muslim Dick. Both the leftwing and rightwing neopagans are Islamic shills. Varg still praising Islamic immigration.
It's basically a shittier Skyrim, except they slapped on the kind of romance options that would make Mass Effect's romance options look Shakespearean by comparison. The most they did was make a difference between Yasuke and the female ninja, but it just goes to show that Yasuke was a last-minute addition since many mechanics don't work for him. He's just a big slab of meat whose job is to bash through enemy defenses like a hammer; whereas the female ninja actually does assassinate targets for a living, and she works with the traditional parkour and stealth mechanics of the series.Truth is this game is another Ubisoft chore simulator, where they fill the map with the mundane, and cut corners on everything else. Throw on top micro transactions and expensive skins you have a low effort cash grab that tries to shield the greed of Ubisoft by trying to be "morally correct" with the DEI and blatant homo. Low effort, no innovation with things designed to be politically reactive to deflect away from the fact they're charging top dollar for a completely unremarkable Mcproduct we're all fucking sick of consuming. That is the problem with the game, and that is my problem with modern politics. They're barely even trying to hide it anymore.
They should've just stuck with her and made Yasuke her mission control; since in reality, Yasuke was one of Oda Nobunaga's servants, Yasuke could've been Oda's messenger to the female ninja. For example, Nobunaga wants some other warlord dead. You could be just adventuring around Japan as the female ninja assassinating some random target, then Yasuke shows up in your crib, and he has a sealed letter from Nobunaga telling you who your target is, and where they live.
It's kind of funny how people like Razorfist were blind to this for so long. Many of the SJWs came from colleges that rich people donated to, and they funded the kind of feminism and SJW ideology that was meant to divide instead of unite, the kind of ideology that would piss people off. Then on the other side, you've got guys like Trump, Elon, and other right-wing nuts who are all about letting rich people run the country and privatizing social services. Right before that, the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street both targeted the rich as the source of America's ills, but after that, the Right and the Left started obsessing over trivial shit that doesn't matter in the long run for the average American.Modern Politics has become about dickriding your choice of Billionaire. At the moment, Left Wing is all for the tech trannies and game developers like Microsoft, Blackrock and Sony, the right seems to be all for Musk, Thiel and their inner circle. Both sides (Left and Right) are busy fighting each other over quite frankly stupid shit and not coming to the conclusion the one's fucking us are the ones funding everything. In the meantime our wages are stagnant, costs are increasing on everything, those same Billionaires cut funding for shit (that is for you) paid for by your tax dollars so they can pay those dollars to themselves. They use the money they take (from you) to pass laws that prevent you from criticizing them, buy both sides of politics so they get what they want no matter what, and pay people like Hasan Piker or Razorfist to tell you why and where you should be angry. Keep everyone fighting over Korean digital tits and over splits in a never ending purity spiral on both sides. And again, when you dig deep enough on both sides, it is just bedrock dickriding the billionaires with a pretense of political leaning.
But if you ask Razorfist, he doesn't realize where the SJWs came from. He's willing to blame the Chinese, even though the Chinese have been sounding the alarm and warning the world about how America was spreading pro-effeminate/gay messages all across Southeast Asia; something that Musk's DOGE wound up proving. Razorfist doesn't want to let the blame land on the French or the Americans, despite the fact that the former is super-woke and the latter funds woke culture through Blackrock and Vanguard. No, it has to be the damn dirty Chinese. Even though the Chinese fucking hate woketards, their products aren't woke, and they have gone on record warning the world about the woke stench spreading from the West.
Sure, Razor can bitch all he wants about Tencent owning a share of Ubisoft, but even if Tencent were to die off tomorrow, that wouldn't kill off the woke virus, because it didn't come from them. But Razorfist will never admit that, because he doesn't want to let his beloved France get the blame for AC: Shadows being a woke tire fire that could possibly kill Ubisoft as a company.
And that's the reason why Razorfist doesn't want to shed light on the fact that both sides of the Culture War are puppetted by the rich. It's the fucking SW Prequels/Clone Wars shit again where the same people control both sides and use the artificial war between both sides as a way to gain more power for themselves. Razor doesn't want the truth to come out; he wants to profit off the Culture War by being paid to shill for the Right, hence the Melanie Mac simping and the Puritanical sperging during Goonergate. He wants to become a whore for the right so that he can be paid to say the same slop he already says. So no shit, why would Razor want to bring an end to a conflict he seeks to fan the flames for so he can get his ass paid?To keep everyone distracted from the reality that we're getting fucked, that there is no effort or reciprocation from those with money and those with power, they pay pundits on both sides to stir shit up. Throw a black man in a Japanese videogame and everyone will fight for months over that and not question the $20 a month they just snuck on the powerbill. Encourage some college sports narcissist (who coasted on a scholarship) to take the knee during the national anthem for a cause that won't matter in 3 months time, people will argue over that instead of noticing the increasing potholes because they cut the maintenance budget to give the already rich money in the form of a subsidy or tax break, all the while you're still paying your 28 cents to the dollar on the $40,000 you work your arse off to make. They use their platforms to boost people who encourage division, and if they get big enough, pay them, because they're doing a great job at distracting all of us from the fact that each year they're giving less and taking more, and less effort and care goes into what we get out of it at the end of the day.
The fact that Razor's side worships wealth will bode ill when he finally gets to the pearly gates after fighting for the side that tells the poor to get fucked.All I can say is remember those who took silver (from both sides of the culture war) when the time comes to follow Christ's example when it comes to merchants and money lenders and you pick up the stick.
Righties want everything to be as nuanced as an early Superman comic where the good and bad guys have the depth of a puddle."My cartoonishly evil corporation's better than your cartoonishly evil corporation!"
As an aside, I also remember in Razor's Nosferatu review where he whinged about nudity, but then praised the movie for depicting it as degenerate. Righties don't want nuance in entertainment any more than the left do. They want things to be spelled out for everyone; fuck their intelligence. They'll cry into their Jesus body pillows about yellow paint in games, meanwhile advocating that the things they consider "spiritually caustic" to be spelled out in neon letters as such. Gimme a fucking break...
