This meme was a lot funnier before the whole Assassin's Creed debacle. Although it is funny seeing people get mad about it while trying not to sound racist lol.

[-] Baphomet_The_Blasphemer@lemmy.world 59 points 10 months ago

Or maybe the character is historically accurate, and yall are just being racist...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuke

[-] TommySoda@lemmy.world 62 points 10 months ago

This meme was created way before Assassin's Creed added Yasuke to their game. Which sucks because this meme was pretty funny before people got racist.

[-] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Wait, you think that racism is new? Where were you during pretty much every history class ever?

And also Ubisoft isn't American, they're a French company. So instead of Guile we should have Manon.

[-] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

Her Color 2 for that outfit is trans flag colors. Idk if it was confirmed that she's trans, but if she is, she's not the first trans character in Street Fighter.

[-] PotatoKat@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Poison is only trans in America lmao. She's def not the greatest representation since the designer of Final Fight made her trans in NA because he thought americans would have a problem with men beating up a woman which is yikes for many reasons

[-] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

Oh yeah, I did hear about Poison being trans a long time ago. Completely forgot until now!

[-] ShaggytheRodgers@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Oh that scene is referencing Yasuke, that's really sick

[-] OozingPositron@feddit.cl 1 points 10 months ago

So was he a samurai or not?

[-] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Yasuke was a retainer. And Retainers were loyal and trusted individuals who served a lord, such as a daimyo or the shogun, in various capacities, especially in military matters.

In other words, a warrior. And Samurai are the warrior caste.

Ah yes, because Japanese people are totally over represented in media! Gotta find the one black guy!

[-] toastal@lemmy.ml 25 points 10 months ago

Still waiting for Guile’s theme to replace the US National Anthem

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 22 points 10 months ago

Or the fat guy in the stars and stripes shirt in Katamari Damacy. Or Bobson Dugnutt.

My favorite baseball player is Mike Truck.

Sleve McDicheal for MVP.

[-] ThePac@lemmy.ml 18 points 10 months ago

Only losers have a problem with the AC character.

[-] fin@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months ago

I didn’t see this meme itself as racist. It’s a very common and somewhat funny misconception.

[-] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

The Alt right victim complex never ceases to amaze me.

[-] neo@lemy.lol 7 points 10 months ago

"You don't look quite right. Wait, are Japanese people white?"
"No."
"My bad. You're in!"

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

So many damn Europeans in Japanese anime. Like seriously.
