Or maybe the character is historically accurate, and yall are just being racist...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuke

This meme was created way before Assassin's Creed added Yasuke to their game. Which sucks because this meme was pretty funny before people got racist.

Wait, you think that racism is new? Where were you during pretty much every history class ever?

And also Ubisoft isn't American, they're a French company. So instead of Guile we should have Manon.

Her Color 2 for that outfit is trans flag colors. Idk if it was confirmed that she's trans, but if she is, she's not the first trans character in Street Fighter.

Oh yeah, I did hear about Poison being trans a long time ago. Completely forgot until now!

[-] PotatoKat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Poison is only trans in America lmao. She's def not the greatest representation since the designer of Final Fight made her trans in NA because he thought americans would have a problem with men beating up a woman which is yikes for many reasons

Making Assassin's Creed? That's where you draw the line?

Yasuke was a retainer. And Retainers were loyal and trusted individuals who served a lord, such as a daimyo or the shogun, in various capacities, especially in military matters.

In other words, a warrior. And Samurai are the warrior caste.

Oh that scene is referencing Yasuke, that's really sick

Ah yes, because Japanese people are totally over represented in media! Gotta find the one black guy!
