  • I’m surprised that Yasuke was the source of the problem. They had a Netflix show about him a few years ago, and before that there was Afro-Samurai which I believe was also somewhat based off of him. I can’t imagine using the only black man in Japan at the time would lend itself to being stealthy (any race but Asian, specifically of Japanese decent, would have stood out back then), but I also haven’t played the game so I don’t know if stealth is even a mechanic in this franchise anymore.

    I figured people would be mad about Ubisoft’s business practices and watering down of the AC franchise in general. That’s been a talking point for years.

    That being said, this is the perfect response: take away the anonymity of keyboard warriors and get them to own their words. It’s a lot harder to be mean when it’s two people, face to face. The problem is, most people don’t have time to confront everyone online.


  • It’s amazing this was never fixed. In Korematsu v United States, a Japanese-American citizen didn’t report to Manzanar concentration camp and was imprisoned. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that it was legal to imprison citizens for national security reasons. That case still stands. And a similar executive order could be issued to do the same at any time, and Congress would be the only thing stopping it.

    The order was based on the Alien Enemies and Sedition act of 1798, which was also already involved by Trump on this term.

    I would love to be wrong, but I feel like more camps are in our future. CECOT is just the beginning.
