This has me thinking. Given the number of years this long-awaited Japanese Assassin's Creed game has likely been in development for, I really wonder if Yasuke was decided upon and finalized shortly after and in reaction to the 2020 George Floyd Summer of Love. You know, the time when racial corporate pandering with black squares and such really went into overdrive. Perhaps I'm naive, but I'd like to think that public reception nowadays has clearly indicated rejection of this "representation" such that Ubisoft would've gone back on this decision if they could, but they've probably put so much work into the premise of Yasuke being a main protagonist (story content, art assets, etc.) that they effectively have no choice but to bear with it to release.

Even many in the Games subreddit appeared to be openly put off by Yasuke, which I find to be surprising to come from the big ideologically-captured community that keeps its gay Pride Month banner up in perpetuity.

It's worth pointing out the leaks that happened a while back (I believe it was in 2020) where it revealed corporate was constantly interfering to prevent devs from going full retard because devs kept trying to make a female protagonist the main focus. Evie was suppose to have more screentime in Syndicate but corporate jumped in. Origins was suppose to have Bayek die early on so you'd play as Aya as the actual lead, kinda like AC3 with the Haytham to Connor switchup. Odyssey was only suppose to have Kassandra as a playable character but corporate came in and told them to make a male protagonist. The leaks never mentioned anything about Valhalla but I wouldn't be surprised if Eivor was suppose to only be female and then corporate said "make a male choice" so they just grabbed the Odin VA, as the stated canon choice is female Eivor and male Odin.

Only Syndicate and Odyssey were Ubisoft Quebec's doing but I bet they were furious about the other games. I think you might be right about that 2020 timeline for the decision for Yasuke because I can imagine the soydevs wanting to do their BLM shit while also probably thinking they're geniuses by getting "the evil racists" to play their female protagonist.
 
Yasuke's real story is honestly a bit sad. The guy was a slave turned circus freak by a well known eccentric weirdo and probably didn't have a great life after his owner died.
He was tragically exiled to India/Goa.

As for the wikipedia edit wars, may I remind you lizthegrey aka Elliot Fong wrote most of the kiwifarms entry.
 
Some solid, historical facts about Yasuke.

Yasuke created Japan, the Japanese people, & language. He first arrived on Honshu in the late 1500s after a long swim all the way from Wakanda.

There was nothing on the island but vegetation & wildlife, so he used his Melanin Magic to spawn people. As a University of Yakub graduate, this was a simple feat.

However, these people who would come to be known as the Japanese did not inherit his Melanated complexion, as this was the source of his great power & sharing it would weaken him.

Yasuke was lonely, but his mama didn't raise no fool. He wasn't about to hand out power to just anybody, even his own little creations. Well, you know, in case they stepped outta line & he had to smack a ho down.

Due to the lack of melanin, the people turned out a bit yellow. They had black hair with almond shaped eyes. They weren't very diverse at all. In fact, he would often say how they all look alike!

Yasuke would teach his people the Japanese language that he invented all by himself. After all, He wasn't just powerful, he was a scholar, too. There was no limit to what he could achieve.

He gave them civilization: science, medicine, self-defense training, & laws. His newly created people revered him, erecting many statues in his likeness & monuments of worship.

Yasuke chose his 7 most loyal servants & made them samurai. They were special elite warriors, but of course, Yasuke was the first & most special of samurai. He invented them, after all.

Yasuke forged the legendary katana, Masamune. When the great kaiju Godzilla attacked Japan, it was Yasuke who singlehandedly drove him back to the depths of the ocean using the amazing blade.

Japanese society prospered for hundreds of years, but then the White man arrived. The Whites clearly envied Yasuke, his power, & his people. They bombed Japan into oblivion causing mass devastation.

Sadly, even Masamune & Melanin Magic were no match for this weaponry. They destroyed Yasuke, erased him from the memories of his people, & rewrote the entirety of Japanese history leaving him as a mere footnote.

The Japanese mostly forgot about Yasuke, diversity was no longer their strength. They became homogenous & xenophobic, taught to reject anyone of Yasuke's ilk.

But now, thanks to some very brave, subversive Westerners, his true story can finally be told & Japan will be reintroduced to their glorious hero:

Yasuke: Black Samurai.
 
Is the game even about assassins? How the fuck would a 7feet mega nigger supposed to stealth/blend in to kill some Jap? If you are already going to put the game in this period with famous historic figures why don't they use Akechi Mitsuhide, literally the most (in)famous assassin in Japanese history that has an unknown fate after killing his master.

Of course the bad guys are evil whities.

I can't wait to see what compelling narrative she comes up with. 100+ hours of plot about the evils of racism, sexism and oppression from white gook masters. They'll probably throw a tranny into the game too.

those guys have been #metoo'd by now (also around 2020), because that was literally one of the complaints. "they're sexist for wanting to go with the protagonist that makes the most sales" - similar to that one retarded lionhead dev who tried to farm pitypoints how microsofts execs were adamant not putting a stronk black womyn on the cover of fable 2 (or 3, can't remember).
it had the effect that ubisoft went all in on woke and DEI. imagine all the people in charge are retarded DEI grifters and diversity hires, the non-woke devs probably are completely demoralized. that's why ubislop is it's own special form of slop.

The Wikipedia page for Yasuke is literally in the middle of an edit war. Theozilla, the retard trying to claim Yasuke was a samurai, is getting called out in his profile talk page.
not sure if legit or relevant, but...

Yeah, I'm getting hit with arguments like "chuds only care about historical accuracy when it's people they don't like" and "nobody made a stink about playing a white dude in Nioh". Disingenuous cunts.
William Adams was an actual samurai. They have shrines and shit named after him in Japan unlike we wuz samurai.

Also as far as I know this slop doesn't have multi-player so why is it online only?
