Gamers are so fucking embarrassing man… These people will harass a voice actor, because they don’t like that the character the person plays killed a beloved character.
It’s like they cannot tell fiction from reality.
Edit:
Anik Talukder, a 28-year-old south Asian man living in the United Kingdom, said he apologized at least 10 times to Schmidt-Hori after accepting her Zoom invitation to discuss his Reddit post about her.
Look… It’s great this person felt remorse, but Jesus Christ these people fold immediately. A bunch of racist paper tigers.
Honestly, that’s most racist people. As soon as they actually meet the target of their vitriol, they’ll usually fold. Just make sure they’re alone and not with their racist buddies.
It’s not just gamers it’s in almost every corner of geek fandom. Remember how a bunch of losers attacked Kelly Marie Tran because they blamed her for the new Star Wars slop.
It’s crazy that racists just have an axe to grind with people who are even vaguely accepting. If a game is too “woke” just shut up and let us have our fun. No one is making you play it. Kudos for the professor’s self-confidence. I hope she is safe from crazy people on the web.
Learning Yasuke was based on a real person did little to assuage critics. Asian men in particular argued Schmidt-Hori was trying to erase them, even though her role involved researching historical customs and reviewing scripts, not creating characters.
If you are this stupid, maybe you in particular should be erased?
My dude… Not only can Asians be racist, they are some of the most racist people around. Go to China and listen to them talk about other races. They make Alabama seem like a pinnacle of equality and tolerance.
Can confirm, I have Asian friends and they can say some pretty spicy things about their neighboring countries. Of course, if they actually meet someone from that country they’ll call them an exception.
I’m Asian-European and in my experience there are many Asians who are right wing racist shit heads. Not to mention all the self hating Asian women who hate every Asian man on the planet including their own family members.
Yeah, that’s just racist in the other direction. You could read the article where it gives some examples and the part where Schmidt-Hori met some of them on video.
If you actually read the article, you’d see your assumption is wrong.

At this point I wouldn’t call the Assassin’s Creed franchise “good”. “Painfully mediocre” is closer to what I’d call it, but that’s just Ubisoft games in general nowadays
Honestly, I seriously doubt that the harassment is from the AC fanbase, and as a side sucky thing in an ocean of suck, it also sucks for Ubisoft that their game is getting associated with the backlash. It really seems like these are just political actors and opportunists exploiting the nazi child outrage farms for views, more than anything else.
I’d be shocked if most of the outrage, even the one whitewashed as “Asian men erasure” was genuine at all. Especially in the game series that opened with “hey the Crusades were bad, maybe” and spiraled out into assassinating the pope and playing as multiple black people murdering slavers.

The same goes for most forms of bigotry.

Exactly. And empathy is not a weakness, it’s a strength. Blindly hating things is weakness and ignorance.
Let me just open this article to see how billion dollar company Ubisoft helped defend and protect their consultant…
Told her to ignore it. Cool
Made a statement about how amazing she is after she turned the tide. Got it.

“Asian” They were all right-wing American, guaranteed.

Taiwan #1!!!
We had a Thai exchange student while I was in high school.
She used skin whitening cream, and refused to talk to myself and my mother because we were the dark ones in the family.
So yeah, Asians can be insanely racist.
Can confirm, I have Asian friends and they can say some pretty spicy things about their neighboring countries. Of course, if they actually meet someone from that country they’ll call them an exception.
It’s pretty wild IMO.

The article disagrees
Go ahead and say “white.” You mocked the idea they’re Asian but then replaced it with an ideology and a nationality. You think they’re white, right?
Kindness wins.
I don’t understand people like that. If you don’t like some piece of entertainment, don’t consume it, leave a bad review, and move on
If you didn’t consume it, why leave a review let alone a bad one?
I meant that as an “or”. Don’t consume or give feedback if you do
Good franchise fanbase strikes again

It’s a meme ya dunce

Exactly. They’re outrage tourists.
