woke garbage
- I hear you man I also only wanna play games with people that look like you but there are only so many zoo tycoon games out there
- What does woke mean?
  
  They don't know, but the orange man told them it's bad.
  
  They're upset that there's a black man in a game that takes place in feudal Japan.
  
  Tbh, I don't see why there should be a black character, but if there's a historical precedent or something then sure. For instance there were black vikings in Valhalla, but I know that there are historical reasons for that.

  Huh. Interesting.
  
  I don't think Ubi went "woke" but it does seem kinda disrespectful IMO.
  
  Imagine if in Assassins Creed Origins, the ~~main~~ playable character was white. There would be an uproar.
  
  For what Assassins Creed is worth (and it isn't a lot, and hasn't been for a long time), the stories are about the history of the country, as much as the people within it.
  
  To take the perspective away from a native citizen betrays that intent. If Ubi wanted a "fish out of water" character, they should have continued to elaborate on Desmond's story.
  
  There... were white characters in Origins? Did you not pay attention or even finish the story?
  
  I meant as a playable character.
  
  Also, no, I didn't play it lol. My last Assassins Creed game was Black Flag
- 🤡
  
  Even funnier is the guy's post history is all about game and media piracy. Ubisoft just lost themselves a lifetime non-customer by daring to go woke.
  
  I only purchase games from gog or steam. not epic nor ea or ubi$oft store
