there's a fierce SJW edit war happening right now on Wikipedia, they want to erase any mentions of yasuke being a meme and not a samurai, and/or trying to actually invent evidence about him being a samurai.

**** like this is why i never use wikipedia as a source.

When I used to read a bit about the whole climate change garbage years ago, there was a activist researcher who got caught editing the pages then citing his edits when he argued on various sites. It isn't a source, its a propaganda site. Only thing it is useful for is non-political topics that are not contested and just provide basic information on a topic. Even then, there are better sites to use though.

Everything is political and contested, so you're right, and there are better sites.

of course they'll consult an anti-intellectual revisionist degenerate from some Western college whose entire bibliography resembles an erotica as opposed to genuine academic work.

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut came out on PC today and torrents are out already. Pretty good if you like open world busywork games.

► Show Spoiler
She's not that bad of a character, and makes sense in context. It helps that she never upstages the protagonist, she's not a combat powerhouse and is there to make the protagonist come to terms with the need to step away from rigid samurai honor and adapt more underhanded means of dealing with the Mongols.

She's a thief, and it's the protagonist that ultimately teaches her to start giving a **** about people besides herself and her brother.

There is another, far more egregious example, old Samurai lady seeking vengeance for the slaughter of her family, but again, the game manages not to make it too cringey.

Also, both examples are well-established tropes with a lot of examples in Japanese period storytelling.

It's kinda surprising how many obvious pitfalls Ghost of Tsushima manages to avoid, especially considering who the developers are.

Might be related to the HUGE hip hop homosexual and pedophiliac link that ties P. Diddy to all major actors in the industry.

Lots of women think that black men are manlier and have bigger dicks than white men because of jewish **** porn.
Wouldn't this do the opposite?
Is antisemitism rising in blacks?
or maybe this really is a feminist's power fantasy.

He definitely existed as a footnote of history, where you can read literally everything ever written about him in 1 minute. Like the two main characters in HBO's Rome.

I think it's fun like 10-15 years ago the developers said they didn't have any interest in doing a game set in Japan and if they made one it was a sign things were in trouble with the franchise and they were breaking out the emergency easy money game. Glad to see they managed to find a way to make that unprofitable and unappealing! :D
I'm just stating the facts.

It absolutely is. Basically he was given as a gift by the Portuguese to Nobunaga. He was kept around the court as a novelty because obviously there aren't any blacks in Japan. When Nobunaga fell he surrendered himself over to the enemy force who then immediately gave his black *** back to the Portuguese. And no, the Japanese were not in awe of the strength and power of his genetically superior african jungle prowess
A black man whom the visitor [Valignano] sent to Nobunaga went to the house of Nobunaga's son after his death and was fighting for quite a long time, when a vassal of Akechi approached him and said, 'Do not be afraid, give me that sword', so he gave him the sword. The vassal asked Akechi what should be done with the black man, and he said, 'A black slave is an animal (bestial) and knows nothing, nor is he Japanese, so do not kill him, and place him in the custody at the cathedral of Padre in India.
I'm just stating the facts.
