The accusations of being fake Japanese is just a hail mary attempt. Anybody fluent in another language outside of English knows there are certain words and vernacular inherent to native speakers that gets translated differently/weirdly through translation software either from English to Japanese or Japanese to English. The Japanese comments that I've read were definitely not in line with the racist rhetoric of what I expect as westerners cosplaying as Japanese online. Even if a Japanese comment did come from the west, there are people that are fluent in more than one language. This game is being marketed and sold globally so there's going to be global opinions on the game.
Words, vernacular and meaning isn't always well conveyed in translation software going from Japanese to English as well as going from English to Japanese meaning at times there is only something a native speaker will type and then end up being translated weirdly. There are people fluent in Japanese outside of Japan lol. This game is marketed and will be sold globally so there's going to be a global opinion and some comments will be written in Japanese amongst those living outside of Japan. And the Japanese comments that I've read were definitely not in line with the rhetoric I would expect from a racist non-Japanese cosplaying as Japanese online with a hidden agenda lol.
If tottoritom is not Thomas Lockley himself, I can't think of him as anything other than someone from the future. Because he wrote on the wiki using a book that has not yet been released as a source.
鳥取トム/トットリトム/Tottoritom User Pages profile 『Tottoritom is Thomas Lockley, a professor at the Faculty of Law at Nihon University in Tokyo.His interest is mainly in Japanese history.』 He doesn't seem to lie only about his profile.
Thanks, I'm one of the 47.9%. I understand if I only use English, but I couldn't accept being called a Caucasian even if I wrote in Japanese. Japanese and English are fundamentally different languages in grammar, so machine translation often breaks them. Because Japanese doesn't use subjects, in machine translation "I" often becomes "You" and vice versa. Not only the first person, but also the second and third person are often omitted. There are 2 kinds of word Samurai in Japanese, and there are many misunderstandings and mistranslations due to various definitions. Basically, the Japanese have little custom of distinguishing by skin color. Because both white and black people are rare in Japan. In Japan, both are combined under the same category of "foreigner." In particular, the farther you go to the countryside, the more you fall into the same category of "foreigner" whether you are a European, American, Egyptian or Russian. This will not only be good for you, it will also be bad for you. Well, in any case, this is about the color of our skin, not hating black people. We are just disgusted that they have twisted the history of Japan and the history of black people outside of the game. Everyone has an acceptable line.
Keep on exposing these individuals im glad you are speaking the truth same goes for me too even tho i am black & i dont like how Ubisoft is absolutely discriminating against Japanese people bruh its full on disrespectful how they dont care about thier culture but very interested in identity politics yeah homie thats them but rather want to be accepting inclusion yeah Ubisoft u can kiss my a** on that 1 too! .
Facts bro. Just trying to do the right things here from the heart. Japan is one of the most dopest places on Earth and has given us amazing memories together growing up. I can't stand this fake ass bs.
@@AscendedGaming777 same then me homie I already cover that video about it but yet I will save this video on my memory so I can at least say that Ur not the 1 that having this feeling its us folks too 👍🏿.
@@AscendedGaming777 I will make an response video for it. Until next week as far right now I'm focus on something else more than having to do loads of topic so yeah I will do an reaction video to that & my true loyal views of mine will respect you speaking the truth about society & the way are gaming industry from the west want Eastern to be bend down & been Demonised for sure of it in Japan & my goals are protect them with no evil when you see it coming & that's an facts!
Literally now someone found that in an expo, ubisoft gave Yasuke the sword of Zoro (from One Piece) and many One Piece anime fans are angry 😂 what is Ubisoft doing now
If they were so interested in Yasuke why are they only focusing on his life in Japan, what about his life before Japan or after, what happened to him? Where did he go? If they really wanted to focus on a historical black person, they could've taken it from that angle and not lied about him being a Samurai but show who he actually was and what he went through. This is just tokenism and people can smell this bs from miles away
There you go brother. 0 Struggle and no progress to how he go there to make it epic and build up to something soulful. I cant stand it. It shows they have no real history and its bs
He is portrayed like a Christian bouncer, not a Christian slave. White clothes, dreadlocks. The only black slaves were painted Japanese picture scrolls are round heads. If you don't have the courage to portray Yasuke as a slave, someone other than Yasuke should be the main character. UBI should have made a new Afro Samurai game.
@@AscendedGaming777 lots of black history was covered up or stolen throughout history. It doesn't take much research to find that out. And it was long before the woke nonsense going on.
The fact that these devs added hip hop tracks when Yasuke fights was surreal. Just shows how out of touch these devs are. They could've focused the game during the US vs Barbary states war and had a black American fighting to take down the Barbary States and help put an end to the North Atlantic Slave trade.
@@somethindarker people seem to be forgetting and not acknowledging Bayek and the AC3 time line Connor,Adewale and lastly Aveline, the Assassins Creed games set in the Americas was perfect for multicultural representation as the demographic in the americas during those periods was extremely diverse, Japan even during the Sengoku period was a minority population, Ubisoft have fucked up and they know it
There were many favorable opinions from Japanese ppl regarding the Black protagonist, describing him as "cool." However, when it became known that some were falsifying history by stating on Wikipedia and Britannica that Yasuke was a samurai and distorting Japanese history, they say NO to these historical revisionists.
If you listen carefully to the Japanese or read what they write carefully, then you will see that it has nothing to do with the skin color of the protagonist, but simply that some idiots try to portray it as historical correct. And some also say that this what Ubisoft is doing, lumps together all foreigners who come from Western countries, even them who are friendly. They know that not all foreigners (like me) want to be associated with something like that. And yeah, Europeans HAVE own cultures and own opinions. That's why many people here don't like the term "The West". This describes us all without thinking we maybe are very different. Please at least only name those responsible, that's all. For me that simply means: all right, japanese react exactly as I thought they will and i'm glad, they MAKE differences. My people do that same way - if you made shit, it's just you. If you want make a game about Japan, why you not invide or ask japanese game creators for working together? Some japanese video gamers said they like the AC games, so it would be awesome for do it. Many said GoT is cool so you even got a good start for creating. But yeah i seen some comments like that but they are not all to blame, only because 1 or 2 japanese blame us all. Idiots who make mistakes are living everywhere in the world. My opinion of them will remain as positive as ever.
This topic has spread from the Japanese Gamers to the Japanese History buffs. Japan has a history (pun intended) where they did not respond to historical revisions by other countries and the new narrative has now taken the place of actual history. There are various topics from China and Korea, and also from the USA through the occupation of Japan and GHQ. In the age of the internet, this group has grown and they are joining in the fray. They are very good at locating primary sources and they share with each other to combat previous revisions and prevent further historical revisions. They already know what happens when you let a fiction presented as a non-fiction book can create internationally with Yoshida Seiji and his book "my war crimes" he called non fiction until he admitted it was fiction many decades later.
I would have liked Shadows to have been given the same "historical accuracy" that is presented in the second half of the video. Japan was given a man who learned calligraphy without an inkstone (like an ink pot) and handled a brush like a quill. The UBI that valued historical accuracy is no more, and the way DEI defenders incessantly repeat "fantasy" because they have less and less to say back will be a true testament to that reality. In Japan, DEI is not that deep so far. There is strength in the area of language disconnect. Japan has been turning most of its history within Japan. People from overseas, whether black, white, or yellow, are all "foreigners". We are not involved in the slave trade, and in World War II, we targeted some country, so it is a yellow-on-yellow feud(I'll spare you the reasons why.). They were not involved in the feud between whites and blacks in the first place. I mean, even Nobunaga tried to get Yasuke to live a human life, right? That made people abroad misunderstand that Yasuke was a great man, though. So, what DEI is saying is not clear in the first place. Why do they involve yellow? Asians have done no harm to blacks, just as the Pope allowed the Portuguese to trade "colored" people in 1452, and whites used yellows as commodities in the slave trade. Asians are not adjacent to whites. Yet they try to make Asians into icons of black racism as if they were white. At least from the Japanese point of view, they are all the same "people" without any color distinction and are "foreigners" in a good or bad way. White, black, and even yellow. DEI does not know the cultural situation. 動画の後半で紹介されているような「歴史的正確さ」をシャドウズにも与えてもらいたかったものです。 日本には、硯(インク壺のようなもの)もなく習字をして、筆を羽ペンのような手つきで扱う男が与えられました。 歴史的正確さを大切にしていたUBIはもういません。DEI擁護者が言い返せる内容が減ってきたからとひたすら「ファンタジー」と繰り返す様子は、その実態を如実にあらわしているでしょう。 日本ではDEIは今のところそこまで深まってはいません。言語の断絶というところで強さがあります。 日本は日本の国内で殆どの歴史を回してきました。海外の人は黒人でも白人でも黄色人種でももれなく「外国人」です。奴隷貿易にも関わっていませんし第二次世界大戦でもいくつかの国を狙っていました(理由は割愛します)からそれは黄色同士の確執です。白人と黒人の確執にそもそも関わっていない。 というか、信長でさえも弥助に人の生活を送らせようとしたでしょ?そのせいで海外には弥助は偉かったんじゃないかと勘違いされてしまいましたけど。 だから、DEIの言っていること自体がそもそも腑に落ちていません。なぜ彼らは黄色を巻き込むのか。アジア人は黒人に害をなしてはいない。1452年にローマ教皇がポルトガル人に「有色人種」の売買を許可したように、白人は黄色を奴隷貿易の商品としてつかった。 アジア人は白人と隣接していない。 だけど彼らはまるでアジア人が白人であるかのように黒人差別のアイコンにしようとしています。 少なくとも、日本から見た場合は色の区別なく全て同じ「人間」であり良い意味でも悪い意味でも「外国人」です。 白も黒も、そして黄色でさえも。 DEIは文化事情をしらない。
Well. Let me bring you a news that has been very much discussed since yesterday. It is about a certain "fake historian" that some others have talked about. He later said of this, "I'll make an English version later!" I think it will be a situation where language barriers are not necessary. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s6tUjnfhzfw.htmlsi=QPrrlUIhDx04e-jD さて。昨日から大変話題になっているニュースをお届けさせてください。 他の人も何人か話題にしているある「偽歴史学者」の事なのですが。 彼はあとでこれに関して「後で英語版もつくるよ!」と言っていたので直に言葉の壁がいらない状態になると思います。
They could have created an amazing modern Tenchu but did better research to include historically accurate matters regarding the Ninja and not just a ninja themed action game.
This game is the biggest expose on what the hell is going on in the western game industry. I hope this game gets banned so that it can serve as an eye opener to the investors about these DEI consulting companies.
They want to a game set in japan about samurai or ninja but the game is not about japan at all ,all i see is about they focus for black samurai and even he was never samurai 😂
you're defending something you aren't apart of and have no connections to? go help some people in YOUR country my pander bear....your not gonna attract anymore asian men than you already do for making woke comments.
That's usually where the truth lies. All Japanese historical evidence point towards yasuke being nothing more than a glorified bodyguard. His information is very limited, if he did great feats they would be listed down on Japanese history but he didn't, he was a black man suffering from the slave trade and now Ubisoft are using him to virtue signal, disgusting behavior
ubisoft said they want to cover lesser known time periods and locations. which ac game follows that logic? the pirates? cleopatra era egypt? spartan times? the american revolution? how about the renaissance? maybe the vikings are an unknown group?
We all know its historical accuracy and fiction bc its video game development as well. To try to void out history and only see fiction is very ignorant and foolish. It is also a big RED FLAG
I found a thread on Reddit claiming the true history of Yasuke. Looks like some lefty took the time to compile Thomas Lockley and some other info off wiki to create a lie lol
The sheer ignorance showcased by that joseph dude in the video... Idk how people can be so dumb and so confident in being disrespectful and inconsiderate of other cultures. On second thought, they go hand in hand.
I am glad Japan is pushing back on this. As an American, I am totally fed up with the woke dei stuff cause that stuff is the actual racist group and the problem with most things now a days. Like Ubi made claims about the game that were the huge issue. Japan is in the right by being upset and defending their history and culture.
Stand firm Japan. This woke DEI started with good intentions but is now weaponized, abused and out of control here in the US. The most egregious offense out of all the offenses in my opinion by Ubisoft is the use of the banner or the use of any other intellectual property without permission and/or compensation and the half-hearted apology only from Ubisoft Japan. RU-vid has a stricter policy lol.
So does that mean there’s a ton of white people speaking in fluent Japanese while making gaming videos unrelated to AC who then comment about AC? I’ve watched several Japanese RU-vidrs commenting about the idiocy behind AC.
Even though AC was never 100% historically accurate, up untill Syndicate they tried their best to atleast have accurate architecture and period appropriate details like furniture, behaviour of the NPC's, music etc. etc. I have several theories on why Ubisoft changed their mind on making a game set in Japan. 1-They are struggling for ideas. 2-Yasuke's existence wasn't commonly known untill 2020-2021 I'd say. So ubisoft being in their woke phase couldn't push wokeness for Japan right off the gate like they did for Odyssey and Valhalla. Cassandra and female Evor are pretty masculine looking gals, it wouldn't make sense for them to portray a Japanese woman in a masculine manner, it would be too obvious of a DEI insert. So they would have to make Naoe's face unattractive to "punish the male gaze" and it wouldn't fly with fans, it would have been too obvious considering every other woke game studios are doing it and catching flack for it. The popularity increase of Yasuke was a godsend for them, the perfect way to use vague history and lack of detailed records to insert DEI in a Japanese game, while having some bases of doing so. 3)-Ubisoft was saving Japan for a "rainy days". For them it's a slam dunk, instant revival of interest. After Mirage and the 11 people that actually played it, things may have been dire for Ubi. 4) They knew a game in Japan would be a challenge to make, given the somewhat pedantical nature of how Japanese people aproach history, especially for a franchise that is known for making kind of accurate historic depictions in terms of settings and cultural elements. Those are the reasons that i think are the most possible ones on why they changed their mind... it could also be combination of multiple ones or some unknown ones, but that seems most plausible to me.
"Shut your mouth and never say nothing again!" -- We both know that you having said that in and of itself is going to have their mouths flapping. I love you for it anyways. Subbed, liked, commented.....all that jazz
2004 Shinchirō Watanabe, director of Cowboy Bebop, directed the 1 season anime series Samurai Champloo in 2004. It had what I'd say was the origins of Lo-fi Chill Hop music, mostly Nujabes, but that was apart of the style and theme of the show in early 1800s Edō Shōgunate Japan, like how Jazz was in Bebop. But the ONLY reason it's in AC Shadows is because Yasuke is a Black East African man, French Canadian mostly white women that makes it appropriate to have generic sick beats and have the audacity to call anyone racist. Same people praising this were attacking Ghost Of Tsushima for being made by white dudes.
Well it's one thing I do know about Japanese history what I learnt today it was actually it was a white Samurai and he did help the Japanese people of Japan in that time and his name was William Adams.
In a game/show/anime there can be depictions or mechanics to entertain like being able to stop time or rewind time in the game. That has nothing to do with the actual story. Who cares if this is unrealistic. However, in fiction you promote false narratives that can be considered propaganda (there's a group pushing a certain narrative). Usually the side that the propaganda is being pushed on will push back. What about a game that the protagonist denies the holocaust? (Just a game? Jewish people would be very angry) or a protagonist decides to assassinate (cull humans) because of their belief of the genetic inferiority of a certain race or sexual identity or orientation, (Just a game? whoever identifies with the culled race/identity would be very angry.) Or a game that denies the certain mass shootings? (Just a game? there was a recent lawsuit that suggests if you make this game you will get sued for everything you have) or a historical fiction where a white( swap out to any race) protagonist takes credit of black (swap out to any race) achievements in history. Just a game is not a justification of pushing propaganda. To add, the unfortunate state of the US is that there are those that believe shows/anime/games are truth and can't fathom that maybe the sources tell the complete opposite or a very different story adds more importance to maybe there is a responsibility to provide accurate narratives. With Great Freedom of Expression, comes Great Responsibility of Expression.
Call me racist but I do not want to play as a white protagonist neither do I want to play as a black protagonist, I want to play as a native Japanese lead who is representative of Japanese culture
That isn't racist to me. That makes sense. I want to play as a Japanese ninja bc its fits the world and is organic and i wanted Japan to be involved in it to be historically accurate.
@@AscendedGaming777 What I find interesting is that the defenders of this whole charade spent months trying to find ways to debunk the evidence that Yasuke was not a samurai, now that it is the case that he was never bestowed the title they are now saying its only fictional? Well hang on second ? Only moments ago they banging the drum that historically he was ? The fact remains that the male protagonist should have been a native Samurai of legend who was born and raised in that specific era and there was plenty to choose from. These writers need to be held to account that distorting history for the sake of diversity is the most odious form of cultural appropriation

If they wanted to make a tribute to Yasuke they could have told his story as it should and say that when Nobunaga took him he got a word that the order of the ancients would kill him and make that he search for the assassin's order (the Shinobi in Japan) to try to stop the order of the ancients and he learn from the assassin's how to kill that would have been a good story taking Yasuke in a path more coherent than just by magic make him a samurai
I find this lie perplexing, I mean you can just go to a Japanese comment, then click on the profile and see if that's the only comment they made in Japanese, or if that account was made just to make that comment. It's unbelievably easy and fast to double-check the lie, so why even bother lying?
Go to my How is Japan Racist video comment section and u would like to see the thread starting with MrMars1999. Scroll down and look what the comics person is saying. Its mind blowing.
I always have a issue with that soulless empty statement bc this dude was British who wrote the book and His Co writer which needs to be looked at to is German. So saying White man is dumb bc we need to address the culture they live in and deal with them individually. White is a color not a race. It is very shallow to say this bc Americans are not apart of this book but would u say they are white man who did this compared to the British? German? French? No only those who were apart of this have to be called out and we need to find them all and see them for what they are rather than just saying White this White that. It is so ignorant.
16:50 a gamer covered this argument and he said that at the time his statement actually made sense, at the time we had tenchu, ninja gaiden, way of the samurai, sinobido: way of the ninja, genji: dawn of the samurai, so the market was indeed somewhat saturated with samurai and ninja games, still doesn't fully justify not even trying but he wasn't really lying when he made that statement.
12:05 to be fair in general there's little known about shinobi and kunoichi because you know, their work was secret so it's completely plausible that some kunoichi were indeed capable of fighting let's not forget, in general, the idea all shinobi were fighters and even use mystical techniques and lived in seclusion in secret villages is a heavily romanticized version of them, in reality most of them were simply spies, with no battle training but skillful on infitration, disguises and the like, of course some could fight and even some samurai were known to also be shinobi, but yeah we know that just like some samurai wives practice naginata techniques, kunoichi also practice combat, it's just that they probably were in the minority.

Not everyone is tech savvy enough to know what a VPN is, let alone use it, even with all the advertising for it on YT.
Assassin's Creed games is a mix of history, mythology and fiction everyone knows that mythology is different from fiction those are stories that came from their beliefs for them those stories in that time they were correct not fictional and the game tells you the technology of the ISU made those stories true the only fiction that the game has is the ISU aliens part and abstergo but the other thing are myth like the monsters you fought the myth cities you visit the game tells you they are all true and part of their history that is why because of what they have done for years they need to stay close to real history as they can
Sea Monster is a African game develoing company... So when you said they don't exist. that was just has much ignorant as the people you're complaining about

Has a AC fan from the first game in 2007, to me Assassin's Creed deals with 80% Fact (True History) and 20% Fiction. The 80% is true historical accuracy and the 20% is fiction because certain items, people, places, and interactions are fiction, and never took place in actual history. Also, to add for AC Unity, I like the parkour system, it was a little more clean in parkour and to me that the parkour was going to get even better for future installments of Assassin's Creed. But guess what they did not improve the parkour in the new AC games and that really was upsetting because Parkour is part of the Assassin's when you run towards your target or even to run and hide in plain sight.
