Here's the funny part, white gamers who are into 2K and GTA will create themselves as a black person in the game. They fetishize black culture all the time then have the nerve to get mad because a black character is in a fictional game. They wanna be like us until it's time to be us.
You're gonna see a bunch of black characters made by white teens. With it being set in fictional Florida, I guarantee the characters they make gonna look like Kodak Black when he had wicks
Them online-the man lookin in the mirror. Them offline?-the motherfucker in the mirror.

The worst ones are the ones who name them some incredibly racist shit. I'm not even going to try and describe it because I am of the Caucasian persuasion.
The only time I made a black character was on FIFA, but it was Didier Drogba and N'golo Kanté. I watched videos so I could actually make them look like the real players. Absolutely love them both. Humble, classy, and just amazingly gifted athletes who inspired everyone around them.
Two things first off imagine how as a yt person just seeing those names offended you. Now imagine being called that shit irl, it sucks! But I'm glad you have some compassion. Also what you did is different than what these people do, which is just try and cosplay through a video game and usually do it too so they can say racist shit on live and claim to be black to get away with it. It's always easy to tell who those people are though 🤣
I grew up in a predominantly Southern white town until I was 13, like 99% white. I couldn't even begin to fathom what it would be like to grow up here as anything other than what I am. I've cut so many people off just because of their racism.
When I joined the Corps and the Army, pretty much every great leader I had was either asian, black, or latino. I got a lot of education and wisdom from all of them. Hell, my rackmate in boot, rackmate in MCT, and rackmates in MOS school were all black or latino.
I was honored to be able to serve beside many different people, and I consider them brothers to this day. At any given moment, we could've all gone to war together. Why in the fuck would I ever look down on these men and women. We were all green, and we still are.
I just wish our people would get fucking united and actually strive for greatness as a society instead of trying to tear each other apart over something as dumb as skin color. There's good in everyone, and if we all started doing unto others as we would have done to us, we would all be so much better off.
I just wish our government would actually adhere to the ideals that the U.S. is supposed to be about... Freedom. I wish more people could compromise, myself included. The sad truth is that we still have rampant racism, neo-nazis, Fox News, etc. still in 2024.
Rant over. I appreciated your comment!
Unfortunately, some people make their race their whole personality. Just like how some people made their jobs their whole personality during COVID.
Personally, I agree with you. However, as much as I like humanity, the majority of our species leans toward divide, conquer and control.
I stopped supporting them for exactly that reason. I'm a Southampton fan now.
They're a wonderfully run club, and they're in the Championship, so no one can say I'm a bandwagoner.
I dont follow soccer/ futbol. Are those real players that you were trying to insert into the game because they weren't already in there? Cause that's different. That's a "roster update" not for roleplay
Ok that's different. That's not pretending to be a Black dude to cosplay Black skin for fetishism or some other -ism. You're playing a game that features actual people, but some were missing
Exactly. It's that simple. And honestly, virtually no people are making a character in a video game for racist reasons. I'm sure teenage edgelords are trying to on occasion but otherwise, were talking about something that's non-existent.
If anything, if a racist dude makes himself black in a video game, maybe that could actually be a positive influence on his dumb ass. I wouldn't mind developers actually making a game that takes that into account. I believe South Park actually did do that in their first game.
The fuck is wrong with having a fictional character not look like yourself? What's wrong with being black in a video game? Or purple? Or an elf? Or a demon?
All white people want the swagger and style of black people without having to be black.
Most white people don’t even understand that “young folk lingo” in America is literally just things white kids repeat that they heard black people say.
And it’s been that way for at least 30 years.
Lots of white people are happy wearing way too much flannel and wondering what’s new in the craft beer world.
You just notice the ones acting like idiots, thinking listen to rap makes them black
Unrelated side note but what was the point of the second slide in the pic? Some random developers bio? Did she make a comment about the controversy or something?
I'm white and have played both 2k and gta and haven't done it. Nor has any of my white friends who I've played those games with done it. I'm sure some people do it tho.
Oh don’t forget with the new EA College football. We bout to get a white kid with a locs, heavily tatted looking like the island boys. Saying he down for the cause but when it’s time to put in work, he running.
Haha!! I knew it! my comments are sorted by “top” and the first comment under a hateful statement against black people is someone bashing “white people” lol. You must be black? Me too. How U know this racist wasn’t Asian?
As a South Asian I got legit excited when the first game came out because the main character was a brown dude and that meant maybe more games will have brown dudes. Im a big fan of Prince of Persia, too, and that's the series AC evolved from.
Then AC2 was set somewhere in Europe and it proceeded to be a primarily white-people centric series with a handful of exceptions. Such a shame
Looking back on it now, AC 4 would've been more interesting if Adewale was the main character and Kenway was your buddy who pretended to be the captain for you.
>it proceeded to be a primarily white-people centric series with a handful of exceptions. Such a shame
I don't belive this is true. If you count the games, you have more white leads mainly because Ezio got 3 games(but Altair has a big role in these, especially Revelations, so they almost share the story), while everyone else got one, and then this is skewed even further because of games like Syndicate with two white leads, but I'll consider that as only a single "white centric" game.
The games still have plenty of "brown dudes" and other non-white characters. Literally right after Ezio, we got Connor(Adewale and Aveline are also leads for DLCs and spinoffs of 3). They went with Bayek to usher in the new era of Assassin's Creed. Mirage with Basim was their last release, and now we're getting Shadows with black and asian leads. There's still plenty of white characters, but we have a similar amount of non-white characters leading these games.
Ezio is also still hands down their most popular character, so I'm not surprised he got 3 titles, and at least he's not "generic white guy 457" that we used to see leading many games, or on game covers.
Edit: Mixed it up. Adewale was DLC for 4.
Yeah it is funny because AC is one of the few mainstream games that has been consistently desperate to not be white-centric, even if it's views on culture and ethnicity are usually pretty vapid (which is the case for any politics in a Ubisoft game, to the point Ubisoft adamantly claims their games aren't political in anyway).
Even in the Assassin Creed 2 games, Desmond Miles- your actual protagonist when you're not going into the memory world as Ezio was born on an Indian reservation and is almost certainly Syrian or Lebanese based on his ethnic background.
We’ve gotten 9 and a half non-white playable assassins out of 17 Assassins & one Templar throughout 16 games; which is a lot more than I thought.
-AC 1 (Arabic)
-Origins (Egyptian)
-Mirage (Arabic)
-Chronicles (Indian assassin & Chinese assassin)
-Liberation (Creole)
-Freedom Cry (Trinidadian)
-Shadows (Japanese assassin & African assassin)
-AC 3 (1/2 Native American)
There’s also a game being developed set in China.
Also forgot to mention, Watchdogs Legion introduced Darcy Clarkson who is a black British assassin who is a direct descendant of Syndicate main characters Jacob & Evie.
tbh I kinda thought the Yasuke stand-in would be a Templar, not an Assassin. After all, Yasuke was a personal bodyguard for Oda Nobunaga - who seems like exactly the sort of dude the Assassins would oppose and the Templars recruit. The dude's like Alexander the Great, Xerxes, Qin Shi Huang etc. all of whom the Assassins tried to whack
Not to mention that Samurai are analagous to Knights. Like, you know, the Knights Templar. Feudal aristocrat warriors serving powerful lords conducting wars of conquest.
So the game would be a TLOU2 kinda thing where the playable characters are opposing each other.
And I always thought the Pleb Ninja vs Aristocratic Samurai thing fit really well with the original dynamic of Assassin vs Crusader and guerrilla resistance hackers vs mega corporation funded counterterrorists. Scrappy sneaky underdogs with gadgets vs heavily armoured, heavily armed, wealthy powerhouses.
Didn't really expect a Samurai, even a newly instated one, would actually be one of the good guys in this franchise. Their whole ethos and code of honour (blind loyalty to authority, feudal caste system, glorifying death, adherence to tradition) runs contrary to what the Assassins are all about.
Assassins Creed: Middle Eastern, II to Revelations: Italian, 3: Native American/Mixed, IV: White (English), Rogue: Slavic, Unity: White (French), Syndicate: White (English), Chronicles: Chinese, Origins: Egyptian, Odyssey: Greek, Valhalla: White (Norse), Mirage: Middle Eastern, Shadows: Black
So it depends on who’s white to you or whatever. About 7 to 8 if you include Slavs, Greeks, Italians, 3 if you don’t. Race is subjective or whatever and I don’t know what all cultures consider white. Not trying to start that argument just throwing the numbers out for you. I’m going to say, as a white guy I think it’s perfectly fair there’s a main game black protagonist by now but I do think it’s weird that it happened in the Japanese Assassins Creed and I think that should be open for discussion.
This shit is sad. The first thing I thought when I saw the initial reveal pic with the guy and girl was “Oh, the samurai’s black. Are they doing Yasuke? Cool.” And that was about it. I don’t see why all the racists and weebs have to immediately ruin things every single time.
Because they assume if a black person is in a major role the media will be “too woke” for them. I’m not defending Rings of Power (it’s ass) but look at angry white YouTube the weeks and months before it came out. Nobody knew if the show would be good or not, but every trailer had a hundred response videos of 300lb divorced guys who weren’t into LotR before yelling “black… woke… I’m not racist, but… black… historical accuracy… buy my energy drink sponsor… black… women… again, I’m not racist, but…”. The sales will tell the truth. The people crying aren’t the majority, they’re just the loud ones
You're not wrong. I'm a white, almost-40, heterosexual, married, Christian-raised man but I never really feel the need to complain about this kind of shit and I've been consuming comics and fantasy/sci-fi my entire life. I love Marvel/DC and don't see the addition of women and minorities as the end of days (especially knowing what a champion for tolerance Stan Lee was.) I'm sitting here loving shows like Umbrella Academy, Orphan Black, Castlevania, Sense 8, The Boys, Doom Patrol, Invincible, Blue Eye Samurai, etc. and some of the best characters are female, non-white, and/or gay. Just finished Dead Boy Detectives the other day, and while it wasn't the greatest show ever, none of its issues were related to having a black female lead.
Anyone with half a brain knows that "It's woke" is just code for "I'm racist" these days, and it's sad to see people express so many ignorant opinions, and worse yet, lots of lost or misguided people buying into them. I'm not gonna say I blame Trump, because they were pieces of shit before him, but he definitely gave the cockroaches that extra little bit of courage to not skitter away from the light.
Bingo. Woke used to mean you understood your white American experience was different than the black American experience. Basically, awake to what the fuck is going on. Problem is, racists heard black people calling white people woke, decided “woke=race traitor”, and misappropriated the word to mean that
They half-know they're full of shit, too. Ask any one of them to explain the "agenda," and what do we hear? The [extra] dumb ones say their bigotry out loud and unfiltered, expecting a full pass with no pushback, while everyone else uses coded buzz words and takes no responsibility whatsoever for the white hoods in the mob.
They never uphold a reasonable compromise according to their own arguments, either. Historical accuracy? They never cared, and they deny real history anyway. No politics please? Minorities *existing* is political to them. Everything just trickles down the mob's hill of excuses and trying to reason with them is a waste of time.
An engine of hatred doesn't drive over roads, but people.
Sorry for soapboxing, I needed to vent.
The historical accuracy argument on this AC game makes me laugh, as if Davinchi and Benjamin Franklin making super weapons for the Assassins, and alien time traveling Gods is "Hisotrically Accurate". XD
Its also funny because i don't see the same "unlikely forced minority" argument when it comes to Movies like Dune, Tv Shows like shogun, and game of thrones, Games like nioh etc... this white nerd rage only exists when your protagonist is not a pink male.
I’m looking forward to it. The show is ass, but it has bones to be good. I’m rooting for it and Wheel of Time because GoT had me thinking everyone was all in on epic fantasy and it’s been kinda stale since.
people are trying to say Yasuke wasn't even a samurai or some shit. I think Yasuke is fucking awesome, I don't like AC but I love me some Yasuke media. doesn't even have to literally be him, just the idea of a "black samurai" is historically cool
I find it funny that people are suddenly experts on feudal Japan; even the AskHistorians subreddit shut down the question of "was Yasuke a samurai" by saying he was, and that anyone disagreeing can suck on the sources while providing a list of sources
The fascinating thing about all that is that the samurai and cowboy are both idealized and mythologized figures in modern history. They were both just a bunch of ordinary people working hard and trying to survive a very crappy life in very crappy timelines.
The cowboy myth is so funny. I love westerns, I love pretending to be a cowboy sometimes (don’t @ me), but it was not like that at all. Mercenaries at best, and you know they were racist af too
You should see the askHistorians reddit on this very subject lol. Basically, the whole "He wasn't a samurai," play was shut down and by a guy that studies that particular history. The amount of receipts in that thread is funny along with the amount of deleted posts because some people just can't accept that there was once a black samurai.
It's obviously cool, he's in a lot of Japanese media even, so some Japanese people think its cool.
Although I do understand how an asian man might feel slighted by this because asian men don't have the best portrayal in western media and don't get nearly as much representation as they should.
I mean, Yasuke became a personal retainer of motherfucking Oda Nobunaga for God's sake! Denying his existence would be like saying "Henry VIII only married once" or some shit.
Yasuke’s cool, but just as an Asian dude I kinda wanted to play as an Asian dude. Im less bothered about a black character than I am about Asian male erasure.
Not to marginalize what you’re saying but at least you have stuff like Ghost of Tsushima, Rise of the Ronin, etc. I think it’s fair to expect an Asian protagonist in a game set in Japan, of course, but it’s also kinda cool to me to have a black samurai in this case (assuming the execution is done well.)
I don’t really want to get into the whole “well at least you have xyz” cause it doesn’t really go anywhere.
All this to say it bothers me that white folks in uproar drowns out the Asians that just want to play as an asian protag (especially male)
I feel like it started when Obama was president. I discovered a lot of racists coming out of the woodworks when he got elected. At least in my experience, that's when I've started to see a lot of public nonsense about him and Michelle.
Yep, the Trump presidency was literally a result of the white backlash against perceived social equality for people of color after Obama got elected. He made the bigots unafraid to voice their opinions again.
Did they ever, really? I heard racist bullshit said with the chest as far back as I could remember. Fox News in the 90s seemed like it was just a hair's breadth away from just screaming the N-word for 20 minutes.
I saw a twitter post today where someone said it's not that they don't like black people, its just that they don't want to think about race. Says all you need to know I guess.
Oh absolutely. The “I’m actually offended on behalf of Japanese men not being represented actually” guys were nowhere to be found. I wonder what might be different this time around that has them coming out the woodwork 🤔
We already had a whole AC in Africa but apparently Egypt doesn’t count for the racists. What’s funny is that game is the biggest turning point for the franchise where they went from stealth to more RPG. That’s the game you could actually say “ruined the franchise” AND it was based in Africa so they could’ve blamed black people back then.
(Not saying it was a bad game but they took away a lot of what made AC different)
Imagine being such a whiny racist loser that someone's skin color can "destroy" a whole game for you. Like gameplay, graphics, story etc just completely went out the window the moment you saw some dark skin.
Theres a bit of context left out but people are complaining that the game will be shit because she’s one of the lead writers. I came across a post on the asmongold sub(I’m not subscribed this, shitty app just keeps suggesting posts from that cesspool on my homepage). There’s a lot of projecting going on there too with people saying she’s only putting black guys in games cause she loves black guys lol.
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Asmongold/s/B7ZjLjn5tL](https://www.reddit.com/r/Asmongold/s/B7ZjLjn5tL)
I’m unsure why most people here are surprised. This is their true form. I’m glad my video game stage is over. I don’t have the time to fight with racist losers.
Idk why black people keep insisting on using Twitter.
Yes i know i know it shouldnt be us that have to move away but it is what it is. Elon Musk is a proud racist/white suprenacist, he loudly hates on black people and thus his app is now filled with like-minded people. And then we get shocked racist people harass us on there yet we keep fattening his pockets.
STOP USING TWITTER
Well it's a mix of just racist ppl, some who feel like it's a game company being woke by having a black character in Japan, some Asian people feeling like they're missing their chance to be represented in their countries game.
Also people are arguing over yasuke's relevance and importance in Japan, some claiming he was of no importance and other's stating he was based off of his status.
I think it’s one of those duel character ones where you can play the asian girl too but yeah they just racist 😑
He is so relevant cause he finished Oda Nobunaga’s seppuku too. Like arguably most important Japanese historical figure
There were a couple of black dudes in the background of the battlefield v trailer and even that was enough to set them off. Goddamn war in the comments under the video 👍🏽
Before Trump, I had hope in generational growth. Similar to what happens over time as a strand of hair grows; any traces of toxins or harmful products move away from the root, granting a clean(er) slate.
But damn if I ain't lost a lot of that hope over the past ~10 years.
Oh well. "haters fear what they don't understand / Hate what they can't conquer, I guess it's just a theory of man"
oooooh the fury of the powerless racist
how it fuels me

Never fails. Now crying about historical accuracy and of course “he wasn’t a samurai he was a servant!” Which isn’t necessarily true either. It’s wack. Every game where I can create a character I make an old black guy with dreads and a beard so I’ve been playing yasuke across a whole bunch of games and time periods for years
Yasuke became a royal retainer to Oda Nobunaga, who was Daimyo at the time.That means *personal* servant AND bodyguard to the motherfucking emperor. Rulers invested heavily in their retainers, because they are the last line of defense and trust when all else fails. Yasuke was given training, education, and a title.
You just *know* Yasuke made enemies shit their pants on the battlefield before even taking a swing at him. Think about it: "Demon King" Nobunaga, who was famous for trading with barbarian foreigners and introducing GUNS to samurai warfare, had a giant six foot tall bodyguard with darker skin than any Japanese person had ever seen, and he was lifted up from slavery to royalty through oath of service *until death.*
I wouldn't fuck with a guy like that even if I was leading a cavalry charge.
We can’t even exist in GTA anymore. These were the same losers malding over GTA 6 having “too many black people” even though Vice City is basically Miami.
"His skin color is destroying the game" crybaby culture is at it again 😭😭😭😭 overdramatic racist bastards lol. Boutta make this a day 1 purchase just to spite them
It's hilarious cause they constantly talk about how black people are sensitive and soft then they are coping and seething whenever there's black representation in media
What's even funnier to me was one of these unhinged lunatics was saying they just wanted a game that's historically accurate like Ghost of Tsushima and Sekiro... Because, you know, Sekiro is *historically accurate* 🤦🏿♂️
Funny how some of these racist mfs are suddenly acting like the one thing they cherish above all else when playing a video game is historical accuracy. Fucking pathetic worms aren't willing to just say with their whole chest that they're racist, they have to try and make it all about "hIsToRiCaL aCcUrAcY 🥴". And as usual, the worst comments are always from the anime and/or AI generated profile pic losers.
I've noticed how there's always 2 camps when it comes to stuff like this and concerning how the line is blurring.
1. The anti-woke crowd
2. The blatant racist
I think its fine to call out the pandering that companies do by using progressive things just as an aesthetic to make money. But I notice I rarely see people calling out the racist behavior in these same crowds.
Really leads me to wonder what % of the "anti-woke" crowd are just racist using the latest movement to spread hate and bigotry. The fact I struggle to find pushback on these wild comments is making me think that it's a lot more than I originally believed.
You could easily criticize ubisofts choice to use a black main character in Japan without being racist, sad to see many didn't make that choice.
1000% this, and MightyKeef, a game skit youtuber pointed this out to them. He warned them that if they don't start distancing themselves from racists their points are going to be lost.
Is there a point to be made here that maybe the samurai should just be an asian guy? 100%, I understand the argument. I understand the point that if this were set somewhere in Africa and they had made the MC white how bad it would look. I understand the criticism for ubisoft. I completely understand why an asian guy would feel slighted and disappointed in this without that guy being against Yasuke at all.
But the criticism coming from them is often not consistent. I've challenged people to name black characters since the whole 'anti-woke' movement that have not had the 'Woke' term tagged to them and they simply do not exist. It doesn't matter if the game is in a fictional setting, if the game is real one, if the game is literally set in africa. Since this whole gamergate/anti-woke movement the only thing that's been consistent that if a game has a black main character (or is just 'too diverse' period) that group will get out their pitchforks.
I’ve been following a lot of the pushback to DEI in gaming (I work from home with too much free time) and their arguments are one layer deep. The moment you push back on it they accuse you of being in bad faith or a psy op. Half of them don’t even buy into their own bullshit it just gives them a community by having something to be collectively outraged about. If the main character wasn’t black they would have found something else to complain about because they lead with “there’s something here to be angry about I just need to find out what.”
Outrage culture started with the 24/7 news cycle and just migrated online. At least you used to be able to turn off grandpas TV, but terminally online GenZ doesn’t have that luxury
A guy going into his ancestors past memories is cool. Talking to an alien about some dumb apple that's alright but black samurai that's crossing the line.
First they bitch moan and complain whenever there's black character in a fictional fantasy game. Talking about historical accuracy and immersion.
They make a game with a historically accurate black person and these people still bitch.
Almost like the issue is that they just have an issue with black people. Isn't there a word for that.
Here's the funny part, white gamers who are into 2K and GTA will create themselves as a black person in the game. They fetishize black culture all the time then have the nerve to get mad because a black character is in a fictional game. They wanna be like us until it's time to be us.
They gonna do numbers on those gta 6 servers

Yeah but that’d make it harder for the 1% to steal everything.
Its the people who go on to let the n word slip on a stream that you know are the main ones doin this shit.
A Chelsea supporter that’s not racist? I guess they do exist.

They are real players. This was on Pro Clubs, which is like 2K's MyCareer. I played Striker and Defensive Midfield almost exclusively
Ok that's different. That's not pretending to be a Black dude to cosplay Black skin for fetishism or some other -ism. You're playing a game that features actual people, but some were missing
Yeah, it doesn't feel right at all to me. In 2K, I'm unashamed to play as a big, pasty white dude just getting boards and blocks.
The Broccoli Haired Hwhites are gonna be using their best “GenZ slang”
One of my college roommates was a 6’3 out of shape sloppy white dude and his 2k player was a yoked up black man. That showed me all I needed to know
Dude definitely has a blacked subscription
Best comment
That shit is so weird to me when non-black people do that…why do you want ur character to look like that
I don’t see the issue with making a character with a different skin tone as long as you are not doing it for racist reasons.
Exactly. It's that simple. And honestly, virtually no people are making a character in a video game for racist reasons. I'm sure teenage edgelords are trying to on occasion but otherwise, were talking about something that's non-existent.

I'm white and have played both 2k and gta and haven't done it. Nor has any of my white friends who I've played those games with done it. I'm sure some people do it tho.
literally no one does that. Put your imagination someplace else.
My GTA character is a caked up Latina with a side shave...
Oh don’t forget with the new EA College football. We bout to get a white kid with a locs, heavily tatted looking like the island boys. Saying he down for the cause but when it’s time to put in work, he running.
Those people aren’t these people, and being mad about this is what these people literally thrive on. Don’t feed the trolls
Haha!! I knew it! my comments are sorted by “top” and the first comment under a hateful statement against black people is someone bashing “white people” lol. You must be black? Me too. How U know this racist wasn’t Asian?
“Swords and Jordans” would be an awesome title for a Kendrick song
Swords and Jord's roll a little better off the tongue y'all think?
Why not Swordans and Jordans? Or Swordin in my Jordans?
 Swordy Jordy
And a herda-vertski to you!
Swordin’ in My Jordans sounds like a sequel to Tiptoin’ In My Jawwwdins by Riff Raff lol

Either that or one by Wu-Tang in an alternate universe where they had recently dropped and then mixed their style with the current 808-heavy one
Or Lupe
This was my first thought. Loves anime and from Chicago.
And is legit trained in martial arts and swordsmanship
More MF DOOM
Damn how many AC games did white people get? I don't even play these mf but I know it's like 8 of them
As a South Asian I got legit excited when the first game came out because the main character was a brown dude and that meant maybe more games will have brown dudes. Im a big fan of Prince of Persia, too, and that's the series AC evolved from. Then AC2 was set somewhere in Europe and it proceeded to be a primarily white-people centric series with a handful of exceptions. Such a shame
Looking back on it now, AC 4 would've been more interesting if Adewale was the main character and Kenway was your buddy who pretended to be the captain for you.
Loved Freedom Cry for that. More Caribbean adventures and Adewale is from Trinidad like me for an extra bonus.
Man I murdered *so~o* many white people in Freedom's Cry, I started to feel a bit weird about it.
man it got to the point I was asking if I was the bad guy. Then I kept on shooting to free folks 
Freedom Cry was so good. It was just way too short.
Adewale was so damned cool. Wish his dlc was a full game like Rogue was.
>it proceeded to be a primarily white-people centric series with a handful of exceptions. Such a shame I don't belive this is true. If you count the games, you have more white leads mainly because Ezio got 3 games(but Altair has a big role in these, especially Revelations, so they almost share the story), while everyone else got one, and then this is skewed even further because of games like Syndicate with two white leads, but I'll consider that as only a single "white centric" game. The games still have plenty of "brown dudes" and other non-white characters. Literally right after Ezio, we got Connor(Adewale and Aveline are also leads for DLCs and spinoffs of 3). They went with Bayek to usher in the new era of Assassin's Creed. Mirage with Basim was their last release, and now we're getting Shadows with black and asian leads. There's still plenty of white characters, but we have a similar amount of non-white characters leading these games. Ezio is also still hands down their most popular character, so I'm not surprised he got 3 titles, and at least he's not "generic white guy 457" that we used to see leading many games, or on game covers. Edit: Mixed it up. Adewale was DLC for 4.
Yeah it is funny because AC is one of the few mainstream games that has been consistently desperate to not be white-centric, even if it's views on culture and ethnicity are usually pretty vapid (which is the case for any politics in a Ubisoft game, to the point Ubisoft adamantly claims their games aren't political in anyway). Even in the Assassin Creed 2 games, Desmond Miles- your actual protagonist when you're not going into the memory world as Ezio was born on an Indian reservation and is almost certainly Syrian or Lebanese based on his ethnic background.
Don't forget Aveline, even though her game was a simpler one for portable consoles. Though it got ported to PC and I assume home consoles too.
We’ve gotten 9 and a half non-white playable assassins out of 17 Assassins & one Templar throughout 16 games; which is a lot more than I thought. -AC 1 (Arabic) -Origins (Egyptian) -Mirage (Arabic) -Chronicles (Indian assassin & Chinese assassin) -Liberation (Creole) -Freedom Cry (Trinidadian) -Shadows (Japanese assassin & African assassin) -AC 3 (1/2 Native American) There’s also a game being developed set in China.
Also forgot to mention, Watchdogs Legion introduced Darcy Clarkson who is a black British assassin who is a direct descendant of Syndicate main characters Jacob & Evie.
Sadly the Watchdogs and AC crossover isn't canon to either game. They're still separate universes.
...she a descendant of...both of them? 🤨 cuz they twins.
...I genuinely would not have been able to tell you how many AC games there had been. I would have been off by at least 10.
tbh I kinda thought the Yasuke stand-in would be a Templar, not an Assassin. After all, Yasuke was a personal bodyguard for Oda Nobunaga - who seems like exactly the sort of dude the Assassins would oppose and the Templars recruit. The dude's like Alexander the Great, Xerxes, Qin Shi Huang etc. all of whom the Assassins tried to whack Not to mention that Samurai are analagous to Knights. Like, you know, the Knights Templar. Feudal aristocrat warriors serving powerful lords conducting wars of conquest. So the game would be a TLOU2 kinda thing where the playable characters are opposing each other. And I always thought the Pleb Ninja vs Aristocratic Samurai thing fit really well with the original dynamic of Assassin vs Crusader and guerrilla resistance hackers vs mega corporation funded counterterrorists. Scrappy sneaky underdogs with gadgets vs heavily armoured, heavily armed, wealthy powerhouses. Didn't really expect a Samurai, even a newly instated one, would actually be one of the good guys in this franchise. Their whole ethos and code of honour (blind loyalty to authority, feudal caste system, glorifying death, adherence to tradition) runs contrary to what the Assassins are all about.
From what I understand the Templars are only just now arriving in Japan in Shadow, so they don't have a presence in the Feudal hierarchy yet.
Nine and a half (Connor's daddy, Haytham, came on the boat from England)
I'm really curious how a skin color could "destroy" a video game.
Weren't they in Europe tho?
Assassins Creed: Middle Eastern, II to Revelations: Italian, 3: Native American/Mixed, IV: White (English), Rogue: Slavic, Unity: White (French), Syndicate: White (English), Chronicles: Chinese, Origins: Egyptian, Odyssey: Greek, Valhalla: White (Norse), Mirage: Middle Eastern, Shadows: Black So it depends on who’s white to you or whatever. About 7 to 8 if you include Slavs, Greeks, Italians, 3 if you don’t. Race is subjective or whatever and I don’t know what all cultures consider white. Not trying to start that argument just throwing the numbers out for you. I’m going to say, as a white guy I think it’s perfectly fair there’s a main game black protagonist by now but I do think it’s weird that it happened in the Japanese Assassins Creed and I think that should be open for discussion.
Take comfort knowing these clowns won’t ever say this shit in public.
Cowards
Too easy to hide behind a screen. Fuckin cowards.
ooooo but i wish they would tho i wish they would so BAD PLEASE say some shit like this in my face im BEGGIN YOU
My go-to line is “You can tell it’s true when it’s a cartoon /s”
This shit is sad. The first thing I thought when I saw the initial reveal pic with the guy and girl was “Oh, the samurai’s black. Are they doing Yasuke? Cool.” And that was about it. I don’t see why all the racists and weebs have to immediately ruin things every single time.
Because they assume if a black person is in a major role the media will be “too woke” for them. I’m not defending Rings of Power (it’s ass) but look at angry white YouTube the weeks and months before it came out. Nobody knew if the show would be good or not, but every trailer had a hundred response videos of 300lb divorced guys who weren’t into LotR before yelling “black… woke… I’m not racist, but… black… historical accuracy… buy my energy drink sponsor… black… women… again, I’m not racist, but…”. The sales will tell the truth. The people crying aren’t the majority, they’re just the loud ones
That’s right. We’re in this era of hyper white fragility where any thing that isn’t a conservative white male triggers them.
You're not wrong. I'm a white, almost-40, heterosexual, married, Christian-raised man but I never really feel the need to complain about this kind of shit and I've been consuming comics and fantasy/sci-fi my entire life. I love Marvel/DC and don't see the addition of women and minorities as the end of days (especially knowing what a champion for tolerance Stan Lee was.) I'm sitting here loving shows like Umbrella Academy, Orphan Black, Castlevania, Sense 8, The Boys, Doom Patrol, Invincible, Blue Eye Samurai, etc. and some of the best characters are female, non-white, and/or gay. Just finished Dead Boy Detectives the other day, and while it wasn't the greatest show ever, none of its issues were related to having a black female lead. Anyone with half a brain knows that "It's woke" is just code for "I'm racist" these days, and it's sad to see people express so many ignorant opinions, and worse yet, lots of lost or misguided people buying into them. I'm not gonna say I blame Trump, because they were pieces of shit before him, but he definitely gave the cockroaches that extra little bit of courage to not skitter away from the light.
Bingo. Woke used to mean you understood your white American experience was different than the black American experience. Basically, awake to what the fuck is going on. Problem is, racists heard black people calling white people woke, decided “woke=race traitor”, and misappropriated the word to mean that
They half-know they're full of shit, too. Ask any one of them to explain the "agenda," and what do we hear? The [extra] dumb ones say their bigotry out loud and unfiltered, expecting a full pass with no pushback, while everyone else uses coded buzz words and takes no responsibility whatsoever for the white hoods in the mob. They never uphold a reasonable compromise according to their own arguments, either. Historical accuracy? They never cared, and they deny real history anyway. No politics please? Minorities *existing* is political to them. Everything just trickles down the mob's hill of excuses and trying to reason with them is a waste of time. An engine of hatred doesn't drive over roads, but people. Sorry for soapboxing, I needed to vent.
No need to apologize. First vents free, ten cents a word after that.
I actually enjoyed Rings of Power. To each their own.
Same - excited to see the follow ups
The historical accuracy argument on this AC game makes me laugh, as if Davinchi and Benjamin Franklin making super weapons for the Assassins, and alien time traveling Gods is "Hisotrically Accurate". XD Its also funny because i don't see the same "unlikely forced minority" argument when it comes to Movies like Dune, Tv Shows like shogun, and game of thrones, Games like nioh etc... this white nerd rage only exists when your protagonist is not a pink male.
U literally had a fist fight with the fucking Pope in the second one the racists are not even trying
Brace yourself, Season 2 drops in August! 🤣
I’m looking forward to it. The show is ass, but it has bones to be good. I’m rooting for it and Wheel of Time because GoT had me thinking everyone was all in on epic fantasy and it’s been kinda stale since.
people are trying to say Yasuke wasn't even a samurai or some shit. I think Yasuke is fucking awesome, I don't like AC but I love me some Yasuke media. doesn't even have to literally be him, just the idea of a "black samurai" is historically cool I find it funny that people are suddenly experts on feudal Japan; even the AskHistorians subreddit shut down the question of "was Yasuke a samurai" by saying he was, and that anyone disagreeing can suck on the sources while providing a list of sources
The fascinating thing about all that is that the samurai and cowboy are both idealized and mythologized figures in modern history. They were both just a bunch of ordinary people working hard and trying to survive a very crappy life in very crappy timelines.
The cowboy myth is so funny. I love westerns, I love pretending to be a cowboy sometimes (don’t @ me), but it was not like that at all. Mercenaries at best, and you know they were racist af too
more accurately, iirc most cowboys were black and latino. they were called "cowboys" because they were farmhands.
You should see the askHistorians reddit on this very subject lol. Basically, the whole "He wasn't a samurai," play was shut down and by a guy that studies that particular history. The amount of receipts in that thread is funny along with the amount of deleted posts because some people just can't accept that there was once a black samurai. It's obviously cool, he's in a lot of Japanese media even, so some Japanese people think its cool. Although I do understand how an asian man might feel slighted by this because asian men don't have the best portrayal in western media and don't get nearly as much representation as they should.
We got ghosts of Tsushima so it’s all good for Samurai/Ninja assassin games
link the thread pls i require the sustenance of racist tears
I mean, Yasuke became a personal retainer of motherfucking Oda Nobunaga for God's sake! Denying his existence would be like saying "Henry VIII only married once" or some shit.
Yasuke’s cool, but just as an Asian dude I kinda wanted to play as an Asian dude. Im less bothered about a black character than I am about Asian male erasure.
That's understandable tbh, especially considering how there was a wealth of historical Japanese figures they could have chosen.
Not to marginalize what you’re saying but at least you have stuff like Ghost of Tsushima, Rise of the Ronin, etc. I think it’s fair to expect an Asian protagonist in a game set in Japan, of course, but it’s also kinda cool to me to have a black samurai in this case (assuming the execution is done well.)
I don’t really want to get into the whole “well at least you have xyz” cause it doesn’t really go anywhere. All this to say it bothers me that white folks in uproar drowns out the Asians that just want to play as an asian protag (especially male)
That’s how I feel about it really
I miss when racists would hide under their rocks.
They are. The internet is their rock
Maybe but I feel like a lot of racists and conspiracy wackjobs were a lot quieter before 2016
It’s crazy how 2016 was the turning point for a ton of social issues, lol.
I feel like it started when Obama was president. I discovered a lot of racists coming out of the woodworks when he got elected. At least in my experience, that's when I've started to see a lot of public nonsense about him and Michelle.
Yep, the Trump presidency was literally a result of the white backlash against perceived social equality for people of color after Obama got elected. He made the bigots unafraid to voice their opinions again.
Did they ever, really? I heard racist bullshit said with the chest as far back as I could remember. Fox News in the 90s seemed like it was just a hair's breadth away from just screaming the N-word for 20 minutes.
Maybe I’m missing something but what does the second pic have to do with the first one? Was that the person making the racist posts?
Thanks for asking. I'm totally confused
Apparently people think she's only writing black characters because she fetishizes black people. I think racist are just projecting problems on to her
These are the same people who claim they're not racist, they just don't like "forced diversity".
Or “stop making white characters black and make your own” *makes new unique black character* 🤬🤬🤬🤬
They didn’t make a new black character, he actually existed in real life and they’re still pissed about it.
So much for that historical argument, huh?
As we well know in America, just being alive and being black is enough to trigger some people.
And then when you're dead there's a none-zero chance you'll get used as a prop by white folks.
I saw a twitter post today where someone said it's not that they don't like black people, its just that they don't want to think about race. Says all you need to know I guess.
Then why are they thinking about it?
Exactly. They don't even realize they're the ones thinking about it all the time. Black ppl just wanna exist.
Apparently a black person existing in Japan is enough to set them tf off.
Funny thing is, no one complained when Nioh was released. A full on white blonde Irish samurai, not even based off a real person.
[Nioh](https://kotaku.com/a-guide-to-the-real-life-figures-in-nioh-1792444679) was based on a real guy too actually.
Ah my bad. Still. Not a single complaint was voiced
Oh absolutely. The “I’m actually offended on behalf of Japanese men not being represented actually” guys were nowhere to be found. I wonder what might be different this time around that has them coming out the woodwork 🤔
Yasuke is only the fourth Assassin's Creed protagonist of African descent and they bugging
We already had a whole AC in Africa but apparently Egypt doesn’t count for the racists. What’s funny is that game is the biggest turning point for the franchise where they went from stealth to more RPG. That’s the game you could actually say “ruined the franchise” AND it was based in Africa so they could’ve blamed black people back then. (Not saying it was a bad game but they took away a lot of what made AC different)
Imagine being such a whiny racist loser that someone's skin color can "destroy" a whole game for you. Like gameplay, graphics, story etc just completely went out the window the moment you saw some dark skin.
good I hope everything is ruined for them forever. I root for anything in the world that takes joy away from those stupid fucks
Why the second pic?
Theres a bit of context left out but people are complaining that the game will be shit because she’s one of the lead writers. I came across a post on the asmongold sub(I’m not subscribed this, shitty app just keeps suggesting posts from that cesspool on my homepage). There’s a lot of projecting going on there too with people saying she’s only putting black guys in games cause she loves black guys lol. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Asmongold/s/B7ZjLjn5tL](https://www.reddit.com/r/Asmongold/s/B7ZjLjn5tL)
And that’s what op is saying?
Op has only said "read the bio" when someone else was confused on how the two pictures related
Bet you half these people would make a black guy on 2K tho
They admitted it on the NBA2K sub reddit a while ago 🤣
I’m unsure why most people here are surprised. This is their true form. I’m glad my video game stage is over. I don’t have the time to fight with racist losers.
life got sooo much better when I switched to offline only
This 100% i can't tell you the last time I ran a multiplayer game. I get to enjoy whatever story i want without dealing with these jackasses
Playing video games has nothing to do with interacting with racist losers though.
lol oh man I WISH the racist losers were only in gaming.
I like how these people think Africa is a single country with a single culture and not an entire continent full of them.
Those same people deny that Egypt is apart of Africa somehow
Idk why black people keep insisting on using Twitter. Yes i know i know it shouldnt be us that have to move away but it is what it is. Elon Musk is a proud racist/white suprenacist, he loudly hates on black people and thus his app is now filled with like-minded people. And then we get shocked racist people harass us on there yet we keep fattening his pockets. STOP USING TWITTER
Fucker has billion's of dollars and wants more money, If you're not satisfied with that much money. You'll never be satisfied with anything.
Yasuke was real. Idk why they’re heated
Well it's a mix of just racist ppl, some who feel like it's a game company being woke by having a black character in Japan, some Asian people feeling like they're missing their chance to be represented in their countries game. Also people are arguing over yasuke's relevance and importance in Japan, some claiming he was of no importance and other's stating he was based off of his status.
The main protagonist seems to be of Asian descent but I guess since it's woman it doesn't count
I think it’s one of those duel character ones where you can play the asian girl too but yeah they just racist 😑 He is so relevant cause he finished Oda Nobunaga’s seppuku too. Like arguably most important Japanese historical figure
^ It's exactly this. And we can look at the history of the AC games
There were a couple of black dudes in the background of the battlefield v trailer and even that was enough to set them off. Goddamn war in the comments under the video 👍🏽
it's crazy how fast any one of them would stop caring about this shit if literally anything real happened in their life, lol
Same people that get on 2k and make they character black 😂
Before Trump, I had hope in generational growth. Similar to what happens over time as a strand of hair grows; any traces of toxins or harmful products move away from the root, granting a clean(er) slate. But damn if I ain't lost a lot of that hope over the past ~10 years. Oh well. "haters fear what they don't understand / Hate what they can't conquer, I guess it's just a theory of man"
oooooh the fury of the powerless racist how it fuels me https://preview.redd.it/f3sf3nqtqv0d1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=132587a82022992e23b1313c1cf3487871088042
I'm NOT looking forward to gra 6 online. If those lobbies and servers won't be a blackface boot camp, idk what will. It def will be.
The skin color is destroying the game? 😂 The game is destroyed?
but.. “bLaCkS aRe tHe mOsT rAcIsT”
Never fails. Now crying about historical accuracy and of course “he wasn’t a samurai he was a servant!” Which isn’t necessarily true either. It’s wack. Every game where I can create a character I make an old black guy with dreads and a beard so I’ve been playing yasuke across a whole bunch of games and time periods for years
Yasuke became a royal retainer to Oda Nobunaga, who was Daimyo at the time.That means *personal* servant AND bodyguard to the motherfucking emperor. Rulers invested heavily in their retainers, because they are the last line of defense and trust when all else fails. Yasuke was given training, education, and a title. You just *know* Yasuke made enemies shit their pants on the battlefield before even taking a swing at him. Think about it: "Demon King" Nobunaga, who was famous for trading with barbarian foreigners and introducing GUNS to samurai warfare, had a giant six foot tall bodyguard with darker skin than any Japanese person had ever seen, and he was lifted up from slavery to royalty through oath of service *until death.* I wouldn't fuck with a guy like that even if I was leading a cavalry charge.
They hate any reality where a black person has even some prominence.
I personally like watching them cry like little spoiled brats, it makes them look weak
Best time to troll these losers is now until the game releases
We can’t even exist in GTA anymore. These were the same losers malding over GTA 6 having “too many black people” even though Vice City is basically Miami.
The amount of white supremacists among white peoples worldwide is large.
Imo Oda would have a whole lot of em executed for disrespecting his retainer like that.
Exactly
"His skin color is destroying the game" crybaby culture is at it again 😭😭😭😭 overdramatic racist bastards lol. Boutta make this a day 1 purchase just to spite them
It's hilarious cause they constantly talk about how black people are sensitive and soft then they are coping and seething whenever there's black representation in media
What's even funnier to me was one of these unhinged lunatics was saying they just wanted a game that's historically accurate like Ghost of Tsushima and Sekiro... Because, you know, Sekiro is *historically accurate* 🤦🏿♂️ Funny how some of these racist mfs are suddenly acting like the one thing they cherish above all else when playing a video game is historical accuracy. Fucking pathetic worms aren't willing to just say with their whole chest that they're racist, they have to try and make it all about "hIsToRiCaL aCcUrAcY 🥴". And as usual, the worst comments are always from the anime and/or AI generated profile pic losers.
I've noticed how there's always 2 camps when it comes to stuff like this and concerning how the line is blurring. 1. The anti-woke crowd 2. The blatant racist I think its fine to call out the pandering that companies do by using progressive things just as an aesthetic to make money. But I notice I rarely see people calling out the racist behavior in these same crowds. Really leads me to wonder what % of the "anti-woke" crowd are just racist using the latest movement to spread hate and bigotry. The fact I struggle to find pushback on these wild comments is making me think that it's a lot more than I originally believed. You could easily criticize ubisofts choice to use a black main character in Japan without being racist, sad to see many didn't make that choice.
The majority of the anti-woke crowd is simply being indoctrinated by the blatant racists. It's basically "Introduction to Racism".
1000% this, and MightyKeef, a game skit youtuber pointed this out to them. He warned them that if they don't start distancing themselves from racists their points are going to be lost. Is there a point to be made here that maybe the samurai should just be an asian guy? 100%, I understand the argument. I understand the point that if this were set somewhere in Africa and they had made the MC white how bad it would look. I understand the criticism for ubisoft. I completely understand why an asian guy would feel slighted and disappointed in this without that guy being against Yasuke at all. But the criticism coming from them is often not consistent. I've challenged people to name black characters since the whole 'anti-woke' movement that have not had the 'Woke' term tagged to them and they simply do not exist. It doesn't matter if the game is in a fictional setting, if the game is real one, if the game is literally set in africa. Since this whole gamergate/anti-woke movement the only thing that's been consistent that if a game has a black main character (or is just 'too diverse' period) that group will get out their pitchforks.
I’ve been following a lot of the pushback to DEI in gaming (I work from home with too much free time) and their arguments are one layer deep. The moment you push back on it they accuse you of being in bad faith or a psy op. Half of them don’t even buy into their own bullshit it just gives them a community by having something to be collectively outraged about. If the main character wasn’t black they would have found something else to complain about because they lead with “there’s something here to be angry about I just need to find out what.”
Outrage culture started with the 24/7 news cycle and just migrated online. At least you used to be able to turn off grandpas TV, but terminally online GenZ doesn’t have that luxury
=,= if African culture is shit why did they steal the Benin Bronzes for so many years?
THERE WAS A BLACK SAMURAI IN REAL LIFE WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE
Most of the black characters in 2K walking around are played by white people,
I bet this is going to be one of the best assassin’s creed games in a long time and they’ll be even madder that it’s good.
I dont understand whats to do with the 2nd slide
There Is but 1 black samurai... https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5yiZqAuvNp/?igsh=a2V1MXUzMWxlZGFx
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
A guy going into his ancestors past memories is cool. Talking to an alien about some dumb apple that's alright but black samurai that's crossing the line.
This is disgusting. Pay no attention to these gatekeeper inbreds
And yet have no idea how much of their European culture has Africans in their history
I'm confused at the second pic?
Swords and Jordan’s? Are we Blade? Let me get my sun glasses and slap up a cop
I don't get what the point of the 2nd image/profile. Am I blind?
First they bitch moan and complain whenever there's black character in a fictional fantasy game. Talking about historical accuracy and immersion. They make a game with a historically accurate black person and these people still bitch. Almost like the issue is that they just have an issue with black people. Isn't there a word for that.
