@radiant-7 No historical proof?! Yasuke was a real living, breathing person! He was alive in the 1500s and is famously the first Black samurai! A literal five second Google search will tell you that. How can you have a problem with the creators being historically accurate with what he is most famous for?
Yasuke (Assassin's Creed Shadows)
See, with all the antiblack racism we've been put through over this man's sheer existence, is proof enough that he's excellent Black character design. Everyone rise and give Yasuke a standing ovation right NEOW-
Poor babies, they can't play something if it doesn't center them in some ways.
Also historical accuracy wouldn't be a problem for them if the character wasn't black, I wonder why
Them: A black person being in Japan isn't realistic
Us: Yasuke was a real person that lived at the time
Them: But he wouldn't have been a Samarui
Us: *Gestures at all of the history of him being trained and considered one*
Them: Well it takes place in Japan why can't we play a Japanese character
Us: You also play as Naoe
Them: Yea but we wanna play as a male
