Exposing the Grift: Go Woke Go Broke

[Osculater]

I watched your video and I showed you a clip of that woman that was specifically translated to Japanese so that the Japanese gamers can understand when Ubisoft's producer said " I can't empathize with Japanese people so I was looking for a non-Japanese character."

For a game set in Japan.

I'm surprised you know that girl, which I don't. You must be a culture warrior.

Damn that frenchie

There's also video essays breaking down his bullshit in detail while citing his own videos and the movies he's talking about as sources. He's a race/sex/etc baiter and turns everything into identity politics. So like... what're you even talking about? He obsessed with this shit

He and others like him are not the ones making all the content with bullshit politics pushed into it, he's just the one pointing it out and laughing at the billions of dollars being repeatedly flushed down the drain by creepy leftist activists.

Shame they are finally getting sick of losing billions and shutting that shit down. It was a golden age for cheap lulz. Unfortunately, it's a publicly listed company and investors look at the Disney share price after End Game, right at the point they started pushing all this woke, leftist political bullshit into everything... then they look at the share price of Disney today at LESS than half the price.

That's capitalism, money trumps activism in the end.

If the producer actually said that, that sucks. Haven't found that quote yet. You've not touched anything I've said nor the sources shown like the fact that there's Japanese games that have him as a playable character so what Ubisoft is doing isn't even new. Also,

Gaming's latest culture war targets Yasuke, Japan's Black samurai

For a vocal minority of gamers, a Black protagonist of a game set in feudal Japan was a call to war.

Because Yasuke was a historical freak show figure and they built a game around him. No one is denying he existed but he wasn't a samurai in the sense of what you think it is.

What makes him a freak show? You keep just saying things

Also, ain't no one defending shit like The Acolyte or Disney's other dog shit here.

As to your last statement, there's a litany of "woke" movies that made shit loads of money, many examples are given in the video

I love the fact you keep talking about Ubisoft, a gaming company that went all in on woke bullshit over the last 6 or 7 years. From a peak of over $100 a share, they are now at just over $12.

The very definition of get woke, go broke. Yet another massive, successful company that was ruined by activist assholes.

He was a freakshow, a playting that his lord showed off to impress others, as he was the only known black man in the country and over a foot taller than everyone around him. You would know that if your knew the first thing about this LOL "samurai".

You'd also know the "research" and book describing him as a samurai was completely discredited and considered to be a joke right?

Yasuke first crossed paths with Nobunaga in 1581, when Valignano requested permission from the warlord to leave the country—a customary practice in an era before passports, according to Lockley. Nobunaga was fascinated by the color of Yasuke’s skin, which he initially believed to be covered in black paint. As Lockley explains, the daimyo ordered Yasuke to be washed, but his skin color remained unchanged. Nobunaga threw a welcome party for his visitor, who officially entered his service soon after.

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"

www.smithsonianmag.com

Everything else in the lore are either embellishment or hearsay(like Nobunaga dying in his arms or they were lovers)

Yasuke as a Samurai?

Sadly, for either commercial purpose, or some social equity rationale, some people attempt to equate Yasuke as a non Japanese Samurai in the same way the English sailor William Adams (Pilot) was later viewed.

However Adams was actually presented Samurai status, and there is no record of Yasuke being bestowed similar Samurai status. The FACTs are that Oda Nobunaga made him a servant for a few months.

Another fact that is clear; Yasuke was kept around as talking piece, an oddity for Nobunaga to show off, much in the same way he enjoyed irking other Daimyo by showing them Azai Nagamasa's gold plated skull.

Fate of Yasuke

They say that Yasuke was present at Honnoji and took part in the fighting that lead to Nobunagas death.

However it is recorded that perhaps only a single individual from the Oda survived the Honnoji incident and it wasn't Yaskuke.

Yasuke was alleged to have been taken by Mitsuhide troops soon after the Honnoji incident, but Akechi had his men return him to the Christian missionaries stating that you don't kill the beast, for the fault of his master.

What wokeness have they went "all in" on? Here I thought they sucked because they put out overpriced, mediocre bullshit and engage in shitty business practices. Guess I was wrong.

So like, they're putting out good games but like there's a gay person or something so no one is buying the games because of activism?

So, are these wrong?

East Asians now will put any textbook racists to shame. Imagine what an actual warlord in 16th century from a people who look down on their east Asian neighbors think of Yasuke?

Sources? I've provided multiple sources at this point including one from the japantimes

Yasuke is not important. He should be an NPC or a dlc character at best.

What we need is a media product on this guy, truly the main character.

Okay, so your source is reddit and an interesting article that contradicts nothing (other than YOU lol) and actually makes Yasuke sound like a badass lol.

No, HE does not politicise everything, he just points it out which makes the left seriously butthurt as they don't like their overt propoganda being pointed out for what it is.

What's even more hilarious to watch than the billions of dollars going down the sink... are the leftist, activist game journalists, every time their woke slop fails miserably... and even more so when games developers that flatly refuse to push their bullshit are massive financial successes like Black Myth, Stellar Blade and Space Marine 2.

If there are all these successful businesses making so much money from their woke projects, why are they losing massive amounts of money and having their stock prices tumble into the gutter?

He does, he is a race baiter and a culture war jockey, I'm quite familiar with him.

See you keep saying all the money lost while ignoring all the wins. As the narrator in the video I posted says, it's "Go Woke, Go Broke, not Go Woke [sometimes] Go Broke."

As far as your last question, IT'S ADDRESSED IN THE VIDEO I POSTED lmao, you're being selective.

 

[deviake]

You guys are legitimately hilarious

Oh yeah, and yes, I know there's "activist" journalists that are race/everything baiters who also outrage grift but on the opposite side. They're fucking annoying too, no one here has said otherwise. Black Myth is on my Steam wishlist lmao

That he was treated more like an oddity for his black skin? Ok, you got me.

The mental gymnastics it takes to reduce his history down to that is wild lol. You must've read your own source and been like, "oh... this guy sounds cool but shit, I already posted so much bullshit about him and my ego can't take admitting I was wrong"
