>1. Assassin's Creed video game: A guy changed Japanese history by introducing a black samurai. The whole dramas was so bad that Janapense officials got involved, and one of the reasons Ubisoft Studio which was already broke due to DEI, went even more bankrupt.

Honestly one of the best Wikipedia talk pages I had ever read, during the controversy. I read amazing arguments well put from both sides, but personally fell on the "Yes its fine to call him a samurai" side based on a very good argument about how the language was applied in that time period. But I felt I could strongly grasp the other sides argument too.

> A guy changed Japanese history by introducing a black samurai.

Playable character in Samurai Warriors 5.

Wait, did people really get worked up over a playable character in a video game? How is Ubisoft changing history or whatever with this? Its a silly assasin game where you murder a lot of people?

Yes they did. Not to mention its always been about a secret murder cult, and their enemy, people who use DNA to travel through time.

Any angle they can open a new front in the culture war with is enumerated immediately.
