Any historical depiction is automatically ahistorical and always reflects the ideologies of the time, this includes Ubisoft specifically choosing a black protagonist and this also includes the ahistorical Western white-man-dominated depictions of history these chuds were exposed to as teenagers and internalized as 'correct' and 'default'.

It's kinda frustrating to an extent that either side in this stupid gamer debate claims some closer simulacrum of history.

chuds are using historical accuracy as a cudgel again; pointing out Yasuke's historicity isn't claiming that ass creed is telling a true story.
