    they are saying what part out loud?

    I know the twitter guy is racist and hating the fact that Yasuke is the protagonist, but what does that sentence even mean

      If the Japanese game has a protagonist who is Japanese, then maybe it's that White Nationalist slogan of "Germany for the Germans", "Japan for the Japanese", and so on? That typical anti-internationalist, anti-miscegenation position.

        I mean that's what the twitter nazi is about, but it doesn't make sense in the tweet's context: he implies that ubisoft is saying something out loud and I just don't get it

          I think there's some nonsense going around that, I don't know, "Big Woke"? doesn't like Japan because Japanese developers are still based and boob-pilled. I mean it's confused and asinine and a game of loosely associating whatever shit is in front of you, but I think that's the underlying stuff. They won't let you play as a Japanese man because Japan isn't woke enough, which makes them racist and hypocrites. If I had to guess why they can rationalize being able to play as Norse, for instance, which probably isn't woke, it's probably because Japanese vs. Western devs is a sort of current issue for these gamergooners, so the choice to make the protagonist a Black man instead of Japanese can be contextualized into this ongoing struggle. Which is like, double fucking nonsense because the decision was probably made years ago.

          I honestly think the simplest answer if he’s doing what right wingers do sometimes which is appropriate a common left critique of the right but without any of its context that makes it make sense bc they’re baby brained dipshits that can’t understand they’re trying to force a square peg in a round hole. I see them do it all the time
