No. No one gives a fuck because it's awesome. If the gameplay/story sucked then it'd do poorly but people could cry woke and say that's the reason then

Saying they're 'grifters' means they actually liked The Acolyte & Rings of Power, but portray like they didn't like it on their videos.
And you're attributing to them far far more power than they actually have... to get a $180 million budget series 'The Acolyte' cancelled.
You're complimenting them far far more than you're insulting them

The uproar around the new assassin's creed game is particularly fucking brain dead. Whining about historical accuracy in a game where the pop fights a secret organization with super ancient catholic God magic is wild.

It’s fantasy. It’s make believe, and it’s art so Who cares? And why?

As a geeky average guy who’s currently punching above his weight class, this happens more than you’d think.
There were lesbian queens in the source material you goof. And lesbian scenes in the show.

Yes but it's an incredible game so no one cares. The character selection screen alone is super woke

It's never been true that you go woke, you go broke.
The absurdity of it was always obvious when they constantly accuse Hollywood of being liberal and woke but Hollywood continues to profit and thrive.
If they were right, we'd be inundated with Gina Carano and Jim Cavaziel masterpieces instead...

I thought it was just actually diverse and gives you options all over the place, but isn't really forceful with everything.
I've played until level 3-4 or something and you meet this one gay dude, you can add him to your party but you can also just choose to kill him instead. How is that woke?
Maybe there's actual woke stuff in there I don't know about but from I've heard it just give you a broad range of (sometimes crazy sexual) options. Still planning to buy it and play co-op with my buddy next year.

It’s crazy- if a show or movie that has been deemed, “woke” by the mouth breathers who use that term has good writing, directing and acting it always does very well. But when those 3 things are crap, the “woke” movie is too.
Strange.

There's the thing...
In western media we view the title of 'Samurai' as the same as 'US Navy SEAL' or 'Delta Force' or 'British SAS.' A title given to the absolute elite bistowed upon those who received years of training.
However, this is not historically accurate -
"In 16th-century Japan, the title of samurai spoke to rank and was loosely defined as a warrior in the service of a lord or another warrior. By 1581, Nobunaga employed thousands of samurai—yet Yasuke was the first foreign-born warrior to enter their ranks."

Who Was Yasuke, Japan's First Black Samurai?
In the late 16th century, the enigmatic warrior fought alongside a feudal lord dubbed the "Great Unifier"

What is a samurai?
The word " samurai " derives from the verb "saburau", which means to serve. This term has been used since 1600 and indicates a warrior in the service of a lord, the daimyo. The term "samurai" is not to be confused with "bushi", which designates the ancient warriors who serve a lord in exchange for a reward: land or wages.
