Exposing the Grift: Go Woke Go Broke

[Flower2dPeople]

Love watching panic wrestling itt.

I know deviante loves a good "William" video

Probably thrashing himself to death over this one



So the Japanese really were unhappy with the cultural appropriation and californian far left wing nut jobs telling them what is and isn't OK. And that why ubisoft ran and hid from the expo in Japan and held back releasing the game here.

Nothing to see here.

Another "win" for the obsessed ideologues

Garak, Odo, & Worf are my holy trinity for Trek characters

Garak and Quark broing down talking crap on Starfleet at the bar is up there for me.

Also Garak messing with the "young doctor Bashir" and the development and slowly meted-out history of the Odo/Quark relationship too

Are you forgetting about Scotty or is it just me who remembers,
"Mr. Scot, we appear to be locked into a circular course"
"Aye, and at warp 10 she's goin' nowhere mighty fast"

What is this?

i’ve only seen a few choice cuts from tos & likely even less of the tos movies, so i have no dog in this one

**Kazuma Hashimoto, a Japanese consultant and translator in the video game industry, said the reception of Assassin’s Creed Shadows was mostly positive in Japan. “It was people in the West who were upset with seeing Yasuke as a samurai,” he said, explaining that many of the negative online comments written in Japanese appeared to have been roughly translated from English.

Kazuma Hashimoto is a trans activist and has worked for Sweet Baby Inc - the DEI company that forces game studios to be "woke" through blackmail.

I recommend that you take corrective action

I'm not really sure how one could get the most out of watching any of the later series without the background that originates in the original series. Tropes, running gags... like the "It's green" comment in relation to a bottle of booze, used again in Next Gen and DS 9, likely other ones I haven't seen/don't remember.

Watched a TV show recently

The Peripheral. A female lead. Lots of main female characters.

it was great.

 

[SuperAlly]

I know deviante is William's biggest fan and so probably saw this already, however I'll share it for the rest of you as it's very good

 

[Goatenstein]

Going anti-woke is even more cringey and less successful, who knew the big bad republicans were such snowflakes?

Long, short or medium term?

 

[SuperAlly]

Long, short or medium term?

His post is a nonsensical word salad from someone who is upset that the attempt to use popular media like movies and TV as a vehicle for people's political agendas is ultimately dying on its arse with the general public sick of their crap

Don't watch it. I watched it last year and it's cancelled now.

Let's be fair, these woke activists are conceited, narcissistic cunts

Could be why deviante relates to them so much?

Some studios wanted to escape Cali for Vegas and now the Governor stepped in. Stuff is escalating.

That's a shame

I mean this woman does seem to be the worst kind of cunt

Her entire being is her race and her sexuality apparently. Nothing else to her

How fucking sad

 

[SuperAlly]

Go woke, go broke in 10 days.

Yeh, if you piggy back on an existing IP with an existing enormous fandom it may take you a lot longer to completely erode that fanbase to the point that you can't milk enough money out of it to survive. But it will still happen

The thing that's so annoying about the Ubisoft black Samurai thing is that it's so condescending. It's very reminiscent of white, super liberal hipsters that are originally from like the whitest parts of America, but are transplants to Brooklyn or San Francisco - and don't even have actual real black or minority friends. And then they annoyingly lecture everyone about race while ironically being low key racists themselves.

In the Assassin's Creed game, the African guy Yasuke has hip hop music in the background when he's fighting. Why TF is hip hop music there when this is feudal Japan in the 1500's and the guy is African African - not African-American. It's tonally deaf and low key, condescendingly racist. "Yea the guy's skin color is black, so let's put rap music on!" How retarded is that.

Then they emphatically state the Yasuke character was 100% a real Samurai when that is not remotely true. The only historical records show he was a retainer for Oda Nobunaga for 1 year and left with the Jesuits after he was killed. If he was actually in the Samurai class, he would have been forced to kill himself.

Then they literally put a symbol of the nuclear bomb that dropped on Nagasaki as well as moronic Chinese architecture in the game because "All Asians same."

Even the NY Times is getting in on this and there are several inaccuracies in the article.

It quotes a supposed Japanese "expert" and consultant Kazuma Hashimoto - this person is "surprise surprise" a trans activist and worked for Sweet Baby Inc.

Sweet Baby Inc is a DEI company that literally blackmails video game companies for their consultation services where they make changes to a game to make it more "inclusive." The fee is in the millions. If a game company says no, they get their contacts in video game journalism to do a hit job.

But this time, they angered people they can't shame with BS accusations of being bigoted and right wing. Actual Japanese people.

The Fight Over a Black Samurai in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

The video game franchise long emphasized its historical accuracy in settings such as Athens, Florence and London. Then details of its first foray to Japan were attacked online.

So, it’s true that we can’t say with 100% certainty that he was a Samurai. That is because no written record of his title exists today. So if the “expert” they consulted said that he was unquestionably a samurai, they’re wrong and probably lying for simplicities sake.

What we do know about him is he was Oda’s retainer, he was granted swords, and he was granted a stipend. All things that are exclusive to samurai’s of the era. So we can say that he almost certainly was named a samurai. The fact that an exact record showing it is not so surprising. These events were over 400 years ago today and would have belonged to one of the clans that did not end up winning the civil war.

Culturally it is also true that modern Japan today considers him to have been a samurai. He’s appeared in many, many games movies and anime’s as a samurai. I say all of this as a lifelong samurai fanboy. I knew who Yasuke was long before this silly controversy
