Yeah, if I had to bet my life he was probably a circus freak carried around with the court, being an African and all. Jester at best.WhiteShark wrote: ↑ May 22nd, 2024, 21:26He wasn't a 小姓 . Koshō had to be well educated, cultured, and skilled in martial arts; Yasuke, who never mastered Japanese and served Nobunaga for a grand total of fourteen months, could not have been. Furthermore, koshō were expected to fight to the death to protect their lord; Yasuke, who surrendered upon polite request, did not. Koshō belonged to the warrior class, and therefore had surnames; there is no record of Yasuke being granted a Japanese surname.
There is no evidence either way concerning whether Yasuke was an object of Nobunaga's sodomic advances. It is possible that Nobunaga buckbroke him. That still wouldn't have made him a koshō.

From reading history books the whole honor talk was lip service, they double crossed and betrayed each other all the time. More Shredder than Splinter.

How crazy that we learned everyone in history is gay right as we were forced to accept gay marriage
I'm actually grateful to Ubisoft for giving me a reason to learn about this stuff. Japanese history has so many different military and governmental ranks, social classes, and hard-to-read names that I often don't know where to begin. Inquiry into Yasuke as a(n almost totally irrelevant) historical figure gives me a nice starting point.

I can't find it on any 'top baby name' lists and the like, but there are a few Yasukes on Wikipedia, of which the most recent I could find died in 2005, so it seems it's still in use.Oyster Sauce wrote: ↑ May 22nd, 2024, 22:04Are people still named Yasuke or did that kind of fall out of fashion?
What about an isekai game where a 70s black guy, an 80s black guy, and a 90s black guy are all transported to feudal Japan and have to learn to work together to survive?

Each day I hope more and more for a video game crash. All AAA studios must go bankrupt. They are too infected with neo marxism virus to be saved.

So wait, who is going to be Yasuke's lover in this game? Someone from the ship he came on? You mean a fucking white Portuguese dude or something? That would be grand to see hahahaha.
It's time for a White Male Protagonist tag on Steam.
They will try to shut it down. Even if it were started by a progressive faggot as a way to shame game devs, people would just use it to see which games are actually worth playing.

Such a wasted opportunity. I would have loved to have played an AC game with a genuine samurai/ninja story.
Of course, but they aren't exactly known for their wits or critical thinking. Could probably lead them towards including trigger warnings for games. WARNING!

Where do all of these fucking "medieval Japan" experts on social media come from? Oh wow, what great timing. Let the whole world know this one weird fact about some negroi fucking "samurai" (aka ball-washer/fluffer most likely) who did this and this. Take that racist white people!Segata wrote: ↑ May 22nd, 2024, 20:13Ackchyually, Yasuke being a feudal gay samurai is historically accurate
Like, do these people stay on the fucking internet waiting to inform the world of their random-ass edumacation in order to look like a virtuous person for once in their life or something?

They really didn't think this through did they? This is literally a; "How do you do fellow black people?" I am shocked that they didn't have him dribbling a basketball while fighting. I mean they might as well go all in with the stereotype. What's next? The healing items in this game going to be fried chicken? I mean seriously.

A misogynist is just a man who hates women almost as much as women hate other women.

putting niggers in a setting where they don't belong for a meme has some entertainment value, but unironically? real crungo hours
