That's an interesting idea. . . Although maybe Ubisoft's idea of doing "historical research" was asking Kazuma Hashimoto. Hashimoto is an American who named himself after one of the characters in "Cheer Boys"; and he's the so-called "expert on Japanese culture" who was interviewed by the New York Times, when the NYT posted an article about Assassin's Creed Shadows. Hashimoto claimed that it's only Americans who are angry about "Assassin's Creed Shadows, he said the people in Japan were happy and excited about the game.🤨
As an American I have to say this I am so sick and tired of people disrespecting Japanese people and their culture they gave us anime they gave us Japanese video games and then return you modern-day assholes decided to disrespect them what is wrong with you
As a fellow American, I am absolutely livid at these social justice weirdos making the rest of us look bad to our one of our closest allies, Japan. People forget that _Ghost of Tsushima_ is an American-made game but are so eager to blame the Canadian-made _AC: Shadows_ on us.
You hit the nail on the head. For a while we had little choice but to watch content full of identity politics especially from US entertainment as activists completely infiltrated. The pesky Sth Koreans, Indians, Japanese and Chinese produce various alternative entertainment which we're turning to in droves. They hate them for giving us what we want, that they can't force them to stop and we've largely stopped consuming theirs. If I were them I'd be more worried about my own job since there's no denying who and what's at fault for financial losses.
First they “borrow” a flag from a historical group, they put a painting on wall from the wrong era, put Chinese architecture in the game that’s supposed to be inspired by Japanese culture and other things. They also used Chinese lettering in the game. Yeah they sure did their research
“Research” 😂 Hashimoto, their “expert,” turned out to be a white dude who believes he is a woman, using a moniker possibly from anime, stated recently that most stuff just got “Googled” by interns and mistakes happen. 😂😂😂😂
@@Bos_Meong So far, Japanese opinion is favorable. Well, I am concerned about the fact that the Matsumae clan, which will be the enemy, is a small feudal lord of about 10,000 koku, which is much smaller in scale than the Mongolian Empire in the previous film. I think it will probably be a film that is inspired by old Japanese period dramas like “Seven Samurai,” but since such films are common in Japan, I don't think it will sell as well as the previous film.
Exactly. I love Ghost of Tsushima, but the Woke cult hated it, they accused it of "cultural appropriation" because Cornelius Boots is White, but he's one of the very few people in the whole world who has mastered that flute, and he plays beautifully and respectfully.
As their "expert" should have known the Japanese treat their dead differently to us Westerners , bet thats another thing their "expert" should have known ???
Its mainly the left. Everytime a right wing politician dies they celebrate it and say how evil he or she was. I can't recall a left wing politician that died and the right celebrated.
They're this arrogant to think they can do whatever they want. And remember that "cultural appropriation" label they put on GOS from Sucker Punch. Disgusting hypocrisy
Didn't the actual place, Tsushima, make it the official game or something? Leave it to wokies to attack something the JP see as respectful and prop up what they see as an insult.
1. Torii gates are usually placed at the entrances to of a shrine. The god will enter from the center of the gate. 2. Not only is Yasuke is writing in the incorrect direction but he also writes brave on undried ink. He is being very wasteful of the scroll with the way he has chosen to use it.
Oh my gosh. They picked the handful of torii that represents what was possibly the worst time in their country’s history 👀👀👀 This game HAS to be cursed. Let UbiSlop fail.
How can you get the scroll writing wrong? If you start to study Japanese today, you'll learn that you read/write from top to bottom and from the right to the left.
Ubisoft sense or should I say lack of sense for sensibility is through the roof! Bravo Ubisoft you are speed running bankruptcy faster than EA and Activision.
I cannot understand the effort and passion that goes into making Japan so unpleasant in every way. The one-legged torii gate damaged by the atomic bomb is famous, but even if it wasn't, I cannot understand breaking a religious symbol at all. They may want to anger the Japanese, but my first feeling is pity for their souls. The atomic bomb is not a toy. They had Marie Antoinette's severed head at the Olympics, but I wonder if that was also a French sensibility. I'm not going to analyze their thought process anymore. It's a waste of time. And let's pray for them. If they have a God, may he forgive them.
Japan is one of those countries that take their culture very seriously. They have the right to be angry at Ubisoft who like the woke culture which is NOT actually a culture at all over a REAL culture.
There's no way they didn't know what a destroyed Torii gate would look like, even if they didn't know the connection to Nagasaki. At best, it was a blatant spit at Japanese culture. At worst, they really intended to hit deeper with their insult than you'd think.
Some they/them with green pink and white hair freak show at ubisoft probably did 3 minutes of Google searching for images and thought "hey that's cool!"
It kind of is starting to look like they're doing this intentionally. Even if it isn't, I still don't understand how they can be this incompetent. How do you become this way as a company with hundreds of employees' ideas, knowledge, experience etc combined? Just how?
To help give context: Torii gates are an important symbol to Shintoism, like the cross for Christianity & the Star of David for Judaism. Having a partial or destroy torii gate is basically desecrating a religious symbol like those. The one legged torii gate for the Sannō Shrine in Nagasaki was 800 meters/half a mile from where the bomb detonated, and that one leg was what survived. Additionally, the dropping of the bombs is a traumatic subject for the country, a big taboo. When the Japanese surrendered after the bombs were dropped, they wanted to voluntarily disband their military, something even the Americans didn’t want. That’s how hard it affected them. Ubisoft basically just reopened an old wound, whether intended or not.
Now imagine Funko Pop of French Bastille with circus decorations and asian Joanne D'arc standing in front of it, being sent to Ubisoft's HQ. I wonder how fast they would file a lawsuit for cultural inapropriation to whoever who sent it...
I can't believe they were even allowed to make this game after the rage over Ghost of Tsushima. When that game was a love letter, if not anything else to Japan and Japanese culture.

Wow! For people who say they are knowledgeable of other cultures and want everyone to be culturally sensitive, are themselves the ones ignorant and insensitive of other cultures. What's worse is they don't even apologize for it and continue on thinking they are the ones that are right.
I think some Japanese youtuber have pointed out , that they didn't even ask for permission to use Oda clan symbol . Lots of Japanese the clan that is exist during Sengoku period still exist today , in which they still use the same clan symbol . Torii gate represent the boundaries between human's realm and god's realm too . As in you step foot inside the temple through torii gate , mean you have step into the domain of the gods , you'll have to behave and be respectful .
Ubisoft is insulting the general public of Japan, the Tragedy’s history of WWII atomic bombs in Nagasaki, the Kata Torii was destroyed and memorial for death of civilians in atomic blast in Nagasaki
Ubisoft thought that they could bastardize Japanese culture like they do with ours, not realizing how their culture is full of details and meanings, and how every gesture, word, and the very attitude has been permeated by their unique culture and history. Torii gates are very important. They divide the human world to the world of the Gods, and Japanese people bow before traversing them. Japan doesn't deal with their sacred things like we do.
Imagine a funko pop with a character with a broken 2 skyscraper as background. or a funko pop with ss soldier and with background of Arc de Triomphe and Effiel tower.
Which is a reason why the Koreans hate the Japanese. The Japanese when they controlled it, put a Japanese stamp on everything. NY Times 1984: After Japan formally annexed Korea 74 years ago, it went on to ban the use of the Korean language, force Koreans to adopt Japanese names and compel school children to do obeisance at Shinto shrines.
As someone who owns every single assassin's creed, I have no interest in this game and am not buying it... I'm not waiting for reviews or waiting for a sale I'm just not interested

Yes Ubisoft is french company but "but" all assassin's creed were created by Ubisoft Montreal if i am correct. In france, wok people are not as present as in Canada (Don't have so much power I think & I hope)
So sad the video game industry today is tainted by people who don't understand what video game represent for gamers.
Being as racist as them is not the answer.
@@kainslegacy78618French isn't a race...
@@kainslegacy78618 There is nothing "racist" about what they are doing, they are human; last I checked, Ubislop isn't being run by anyone *but* humans. Drop the buzz words that people use to divide us. If anything, the closest word I'd use to describe what they are doing is bigotry. But racist? Not even. French isn't a race, and neither is Japan.
@@Suisfonia You're right. Shoulda used that term instead.
It would be similar to Ubisoft selling a figurine of a plane crashing into the World Trade Center.
It seems like they hired a bunch of people in key positions who never played Assassins creed before and only want to distribute their political agenda
Wonder if anyone on their consulting team were actually Asian/Japanese?
This isn't just AC bombing;
They are alienating Japan which is a pretty big chunk of the market.
So this is not just a one time deal; The games they launch from now on are going to feel it too.
This is why i deleted my Ubisoft account. I'm very happy that i did. F ubisoft and thier woke agenda.
Keep up the good work with all the videos. Peace from Sweden
Just can't wait until Ubisoft finally shuts down.
Wow! For people who say they are knowledgeable of other cultures and want everyone to be culturally sensitive, are themselves the ones ignorant and insensitive of other cultures. What's worse is they don't even apologize for it and continue on thinking they are the ones that are right.
I think some Japanese youtuber have pointed out , that they didn't even ask for permission to use Oda clan symbol .
Lots of Japanese the clan that is exist during Sengoku period still exist today , in which they still use the same clan symbol .
Torii gate represent the boundaries between human's realm and god's realm too .
As in you step foot inside the temple through torii gate , mean you have step into the domain of the gods , you'll have to behave and be respectful .
Ubisoft is insulting the general public of Japan, the Tragedy’s history of WWII atomic bombs in Nagasaki, the Kata Torii was destroyed and memorial for death of civilians in atomic blast in Nagasaki
Yellowflash 'I am not a Japanese cultural expert' neither is anyone else that works at Ubisoft😅 Japan should definitely ban this trash game.
I am never buying any game from Ubisoft. I love Japan and want to move there and these guys have the nerve to insult them because of their egos.
自分は日本人ですがUBIのせいでフランスが大嫌いになりました。最悪です
喧嘩が下手だなあ
多くのフランス人と違ってUBIはクソです、っていう喧嘩の仕方しないとただ日本の敵を増やすだけじゃん
Cultural experts is just a fancy way of saying 'useless DEI hires'.
No no, some woman from Alaska said Japan is fine with this
I am fully convined Ubislop is actively trying to piss off Japan at this point. Prove me wrong.
Is the job of an activist to change history and the perception of reality.
Always was,
Always will.
UbiSoft are treating Japanese culture the same way Rings of Power is treating Tolkien's lore.
Just remeber these's people hate any culture that's exceptional and elevates beauty.
ubiflop is actually becoming real in Japan lol.
Also they have withdrawn from this year's Tokyo Game Show as well the press conference.
Universal: We're releasing a King Kong action figure with dual-wield twin-tower club action.
Americans: Hey! F*c* you! ... how much, tho?
Nah fr cuz I would buy that
I am good with Universal...if it was Disney...that's another story.
@@Dryloch Disneys- King would be changed to queen and would be about fighting the patriarchy

Ubisoft thought that they could bastardize Japanese culture like they do with ours, not realizing how their culture is full of details and meanings, and how every gesture, word, and the very attitude has been permeated by their unique culture and history. Torii gates are very important. They divide the human world to the world of the Gods, and Japanese people bow before traversing them. Japan doesn't deal with their sacred things like we do.
Ubi stock sitting at 2.62USD as of 11.46EST.
Ooooff
Holy shit😮
Imagine a funko pop with a character with a broken 2 skyscraper as background.
or a funko pop with ss soldier and with background of Arc de Triomphe and Effiel tower.
johnny somali is marketing this game
Your profile picture lol
They didn’t think this through.
Go home Ubisoft you're drunk
Culture for Japan and Korea is power - that is why you need to respect it.
Which is a reason why the Koreans hate the Japanese. The Japanese when they controlled it, put a Japanese stamp on everything.
NY Times 1984: After Japan formally annexed Korea 74 years ago, it went on to ban the use of the Korean language, force Koreans to adopt Japanese names and compel school children to do obeisance at Shinto shrines.
All ppl that died in Hiroshima Nagasaki are being disrespected by Ubisoft. ALL of them.
Let that sink in...
They also cancelled their promotions in Tokyo Game Show.
As someone who owns every single assassin's creed, I have no interest in this game and am not buying it... I'm not waiting for reviews or waiting for a sale I'm just not interested
At this point it’s hard to think that this is anything other than an intentional insult.
Ubisoft Chinada is beating a dead horse to see what'll come out
Is THAT what it is? CCPuppets? That explains the unsolicited hate on Japan...
Funny how "cultural appropriation" doesnt apply to them
