Peasants bowed to Samurai because they (the samurai) were often lunatics who would cut their heads off otherwise. This is established historical fact but now it’s considered some kind of racial power fantasy.
Kinda a given that people would recognize the right hand man of Nobunaga immediately and react accordingly. He wears his identity on his skin, so to say.
Of course Crackeroids can not think that far.
The kind of person who uses “historical realism” to justify their why they play Skyrim with mods that make everyone white and let you marry children is the kind of person who can’t imagine it being used as anything but a fig leaf over a fantasy. Like a con man listening to a revolutionary speak and trying to figure out what angle he’s working: pathologically incapable of realizing that other people often actually mean what they say.
This is like Steven Seagull commenting on the martial arts realism of Jackie Chan movies.
I just bought a VR game set in medieval Europe, why is there nobody you can pay to cover you with their clothes while you shit in a bucket in the middle of the town square? I demand to relieve myself in the comfort of a human outhouse, it is crucial to my enjoyment of the immersion
I too want historical realism in my game about the influence of ancient alien artifacts guiding the entire direction of human civilization since prehistoric eras. If the magical pope that flies through the air shooting energy bolts at me isn’t white, my immersion will be absolutely ruined.
Outside of the right-wing nationalists that spend most of their day driving around in unmarked vans, and who the hell cares what they think, nobody here really cares about Yasuke in the game. Yes you can find people throwing fits on Japanese youtube, but our youtube is no better than anywhere else. Talk to anybody in the games industry and nobody cares. If anything, people think it is a cool historical inclusion.
Forget Yasuke, it’s Ubisoft so the game will be hot garbage regardless
