The difference between actual diversity revolves around tokenization, flanderization, homogenization, and of course gaslighting.
“culture war” minority characters are often inserted into narratives where they don’t quite fit, are often one dimensional characters, and often all act in a certain way based off their race/gender/sexuality combo, and are often inserted to gaslight anyone who has an issue with the low quality of the underlying product into thinking all criticism is bigoted.
It’s the last point that both you and Ubisoft are leveraging right now. If they replaced Yasuke with some burly Japanese dude, the entire discourse would be centered around how this game is a mid-at-best title for way too much money.
Instead asshole stans like you come out of the woodwork to push a narrative that most negative criticism centered around bigotry.
There are plenty of IPs with minority characters that don’t get shit on, because both the IP and the characters are actually good.
Oh lord someone get this chud out of the thread! And fer fucks sake y’all never ask chuds a got damn thing. Cuz they’ll tell you, and it will be the dumbest shit you read today

It’s 2025. There are maybe 15 people total interacting with this post. I have a life in a way that was impossible during the covid era.
“here’s 5 bucks, get yourself something to eat ok?”
Now sometimes, they’ll engage you directly, but don’t worry folks! Just keep moving if that happens, and hope things get better. It’s not like you can really do anything for them.

Explain what “culture war” is, and how it isn’t just incorporating minorities into a work.
