Summary

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creed Shadows is already being labeled as "woke" and "disrespectful" following its announcement trailer, primarily due to main characters Naoe and Yasuke, the latteꦡr of✨ whom is historically considered Japan's first black samurai.
Ubisoft has finally lifted the lid on the next mainline Assassin's Creed, revealing that Assassin's Cree👍d Shadows will be available on November 15 later this year. While we didn't get any🌳 gameplay, we did get a lengthy cinematic trailer going into the backstories of the game's two main protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke. Naoe appears to be a Shinboi from the Japanese provinces, while Yasuke is considered to be Japan's first black samurai, and came into contact with several prominent figures in Japanese 🧔history.

Assassin's Creed Shadows' Yasuke Is Somehow "Disrespectful" To Japan
Most of the vitriol revolves around Yasuke, with some people taking issue with the fact that they're being made to play as a black man in a Feudal Japan setting, despiteᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ the character being a key figu❀re in Japanese history. Some claim that it's inappropriate for Ubisoft to have someone who isn't native to the country as one of the main characters, though I don't think these same people take issue with the fact that the incredibly Welsh Edward Kenway was sailing around the Carribean in Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag.
You've also got some stating that Yasuke wasn't actually a samurai, but was a retainer to Oda Nobunaga, and that this somehow "disrespects" Japanese𓂃 culture.
