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?
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.
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.
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.
Thank you. I didn’t read that the Asian in the subject was not American but British, but some folk seem to not realise that Asians can be both right-wing and a national of a non-Asian country.
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.

Look… It’s great this person felt remorse, but Jesus Christ these people fold immediately. A bunch of racist paper tigers.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Uneducated comment, removed.

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?
No, read it, it said they’re Asian. Right wing Americans can actually include other demographics, you know
If you actually read the article, you’d see your assumption is wrong.
You right
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.
Taiwan #1!!!
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.
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.
The article disagrees
Thank you

The same goes for most forms of bigotry.
Kindness wins.
Good franchise fanbase strikes again

It’s a meme ya dunce

Exactly. They’re outrage tourists.
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.
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.
Exactly. And empathy is not a weakness, it’s a strength. Blindly hating things is weakness and ignorance.
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
