As an Asian I agree.

Fuck ticking boxes and treat all cultures with respect. Man I would've appreciate it if they made Yasuke as a important character similar to leonardo da vinci as in a historical character that can help you assit you but thats it not them being the main character and being a f too. Not suprised tbh its the same team that put AC in a coffin the Odessy team which had no Assasins in it (except the dlc which tbf don't count cus the main game is supposed to be about assasins not spartens).

[@miguelbeirao3954]

Ubisoft is saying to us like : “don’t buy this game we want to go broke “ !!!

[@-Ryu]

Don't worry about the name pronunciation, Tyrone. It happens all the time.

[@evilalex87]

[@EVERYDAYGames00]

[@kingpanther424]

Oh lord please don't ruin his image even further

[@VileGlory]

Someone will be.

[@markburns2621]

Too tall, the woman could be though, lol.

[@bmroof29]

Wonder why they didn't try that with Mirage 🤔

[@dnotorious7582]

Because arab will make world war 3 on ubisoft,

[@visionentertainment8006]

You know why

[@SombreroBeanieHat]

All these people need to go ASAP!

[@GamesTube80]

"based on historical facts" 😂 this Ubisoft

[@lolstar-dd5dm]

If anybody played assassin, Creed odyssey, there is romance options in that game and you can romance women and males

[@DavidTMSN]

In order for them to feel right with their own personal decisions, sexually, they need to push their held beliefs upon those who are juxtaposed.

[@kutsalentropi]

oh man. i was thinking about skipping shadows and i have no hesitations to do this now. thanks, ubisoft.

[@theflaxxensaxxentake1874]

when I read the Harry Potter books as a kid, it wasn't until the movies came out, where I was like, "ooohhhh you mean its not pronounced 'Her-mee-one''?

[@zekethewise7042]

Damn not only did they kill assassin creed but the company as well

[@DSxGoldSilver]

June is gonna be crazy with stuff like this

[@ronsaddler993]

Wow I told so many people I was buying the 270 dollar collectors edition. Welp there goes that! Wow man...

[@elastronomer8462]

No game is worth 270

Ok, my wife is from Japan and I also speak the language. Most westerners say most of the words wrong. Including myself. Yasuke is like yas-kay. It’s more of an accent. We shouldn’t be so hard on each other for it because they do it equally to our words.

[@kingpanther424]

Learning the language myself but I do agree that it's kind of annoying to hear people say the words incorrectly. Doesn't take that long to look up how to pronounce a word correctly like sake for example.

[@Ash_Hudson]

You're both wrong. It's Yasssqueen now.

[@musical_lolu4811]

​@kingpanther424 pitch accent information can sometimes be difficult to find without native speakers. Except if you have access to Forvo or a TTS that can spit out the correct pitch accent, but people have to somehow know to look for these things.

[@ShogunJacksonStone]

Black men just can’t be masculine anymore in media

[@drippyklapz]

I’m sure it’s the same as Valhalla and Odyssey, you can choose to sleep with whoever you want yk, it makes it have that middle ground so it’s your choice to sleep with whoever you want and it makes the game more open to a bigger player base

[@haydenkashima]

Yea it’s optional for the player to choose

[@Elhombresanchez]

Yasuke better like BBW and not BBC cause he'd literally have the only one in that area and time 😂.

[@Nobleman23]

Watch him have a Japanese boyfriend in the game😂😂

[@Anti-IsraeliteDefamationLeague]

[@QuanPham-uq7ml]

Well actually, Yasuke was not the only African decent in Japan during that time. There was thousands of African merchants and traders in Japan and all over eastern Asia during that time

[@gaztons1115]

@@QuanPham-uq7ml yeah! Like Johnny Somalia

[@sageex3931]

BBW?

[@Darkgudda]

The good ole days of Atari 2600 games like Berzerk. A game was a game.
