Your points about woke he addresses in the video with specific examples, I'm not gonna repeat myself again.
Yeah, and they weren't very good examples & points.
He cites and breaks down The Critical Drinker using his own videos. He has an entire other video dedicated to William. Another dude made a video about him too. Their source? The words that come out of his mouth.
Unfortunately he failed to provide a link & timestame to Drinker's videos to verify he posted the clips in full context.
And based off his embarassing opinion of Yasuke he has to prove he's portraying Drinker's full argument rather than just a cleverly edited segment.
If The Critical Drinker isn't racist, he needs to be more careful. The video explains that real well. The incessant complaining about "diversity" and "the message", after a point, is uhhhh... yeah.

Forced diversity.
*And if you don't know what he means by 'The Message' you really don't know much about Drinker.
And neither of these points are evidence of any kind of racism, sexism, or any specific 'ists or 'izms.
It's really not a big deal and after having looked into it I find it questionable, to put it charitably, that people are so vested in tearing the game down for having a person who actually existed in it, especially when it's a black dude. That it's being made a big deal is eyebrow raising, the level of protest is too high for me to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. It doesn't pass the sniff test.
Oh sure... they hate the game because you have to play as a black dude... and that's never been done before... ever.

Racism often is spoken in dog whistles and indirectly these days. If William ain't racist then maybe he should fucking chill with the constant culture war bullshit. If he's not an ist or ism or phobe then he's not he's not doing himself any favors nor are some of his bros. Dudes like him lend validity to the goofs like the people at Disney who blame their shows sucking on whatever ist or ism, using identity as a smokescreen for their shitty products.
"Shut up about 'The Message' or 'Diversity' or..
...or...
..or...
WE'LL CALL YOU RACIST!"
Sorry, but the 'YOU'RE RACIST' accusation has less credibility than at any point of the last 60 years because its a very common tactic to ignore any kind of criticism by just accusing said critics of racism.
Annnnd this baby is probably headed to the war room
Yeah, if you keep posting stupid shit unrelated to the topic.
As far as the painting, does it for some reason have to be painted in a specific time frame? But yeah, either way we don't know for sure, I think it's thought to be him because weren't a lotta black dudes in Japan.
Apparently you missed this part on my last post I quoted a Smithsonian article -
"Though Yasuke was the only Black samurai in Nobunaga’s army, he was by no means the only African present in Japan at the time. “Several hundred African people lived in Japan during the 16th century,” says Doan."
Well... actually... there were a shitload of black men in Japan.
Yeah I mean, we don't know for sure.
Pretty sure if he was competing in Sumo for 22 years after his final public record of existence, then 1582 wouldn't have been his final record of existence.
So he was in hiding for 22 years?
What happened after he left?
The dude cites his sources really well in the video, I think he shows a source for everything he says, so I don't find it too questionable though one can certainly disagree with his conclusions.
Well I just looked up Wikipedia & a Smithsonian artical and immediately saw obvious contradictions in his arguments.
Not uncommon for someone to site sources and still be woefully incorrect about a subject, as he just proved.
But RE: Yasuke, I don't care. He was a real person, he's interesting, so they put him in a game and that's not even the first game he's been in. Ubisoft sucks for other reasons.
I don't care about Assassins Creed, Unisoft, or Yasuke... what I care about is truth and to shame bullshit merchants.
That YouTuber in the OP... obvious envious bullshit merchant. Zero question.
