Games

Nah I think both of these are examples of pandering. The Last Samurai is even worse because there was no reason at all for Tom Cruise to be there historically. Yasuke at least was a real samurai and I think if you were to ignore the fact that ubisoft is obviously pandering for publicity and cash his story isn't much different than Will Adams' portrayal in Shogan.

Ubisoft didn’t post this

I hate that nazis glom onto any bad game and ruin the discussion around it.

Meme of Giancarlo Esposito / Gus adjusting his tie with the caption "You won't buy Assassin's Creed Shadows because you're racist, I won't buy it because Ubisoft games are shit. We're not the same"

I learnt the trope of the "white Savior" thanks to last samurai, and that was eons ago.

This is not a case of double standards, it's plain racism and influencer grifting.

Game seems cool, but it requires a download to play. They don't meet my basic requirements for a game I'd even consider buying.

Headline makes it sound Ubisoft posted this, but it doesn‘t look like it.

That's some grade A vintage racism right there.

There is a lot of highly critical discourse around the Last Samurai. Not current, because it's not a current movie, but saying that it's "okay" suggests ~~you~~ they haven't looked for criticism.

Also, weary.

Edit: clarity.

Edit2: I have since been made aware by @[email protected] of a different perspective that makes a lot more sense, see comments below.
