Here's to the new us.
The respectable face I've seen the chuds try to give to their argument is quibbling over whether or not Yasuke was actually a samurai as defined by the socio-legal roles of 16th-century Japan. But the second you actually scratch at this argument (or put it into the context of how the Assassin's Creed series has twisted history in the past), they start screaming about DEI and woke and whatever other buzzwords are bouncing around in their brains. So its a pretty thin cover.

idk, haven't seen it. he succeeded nobunaga, though, and invaded korea in the 1590s. i think he wasn't able to officially become shogun as he was born a peasant

i went to his castle in japan and they described his korean campaign as genocidal on the placards within the castle museum. and if the japanese are describing something japanese as genocidal that's bad news.
though it was funny in the hiroshima peace park there were monuments to korean people killed in the atomic bombing where the japanese text described them as guest workers while the korean text said they were conscripted prisoners, so there are probably a lot of audience-dependent translations

Hideyoshi was one of the main antagonists in onimusha, for one, but a guy with his fame obviously shows up in a lot of stuff. if it makes you feel any better he's not usually portrayed in a flattering light

I was gonna say the criticism probably isn't about historical inaccuracies but how a black samurai is woke revisionism

Every species can smell its own extinction.
You get to be his best bud as he's climbing the ranks in Nioh 2.

He also shows up a lot in the Samurai Warriors games.

Edit: Somehow Hideyoshi and Tokugawa haven't shown up in Fate stuff, despite Nobunaga being a character that shows up often.

you can play as him in Sengoku Basara
also Nioh 2 did a weird thing where Hideyoshi is split into two different characters, one of which is the custom character you play as and the other is the guy that goes crazy and starts murdering people.

i wonder how much of that general negativity towards him is due to his peasant background. because he was a central figure in making japan a country, and despite that seems to get no respect. hell, i could be all turned around on this guy. maybe I'm falling for propaganda. he could be a dracula type figure that had his name ruined by jealous haters over the centuries

That's right, Hideyoshi Ushiromiya. His wife killed some of them, though.

the peasant origin hurt obviously, and he has a historical portrayal (of dubious fairness) as having ratfucked nobunaga to take his throne, when he could have made more of an effort to save him. one of the things most often written about him was how ugly he was, looking akin to a monkey, which bleeds through to a lot of pop culture portrayals. obviously some of this could have been poo poo slinging by his opponents but it's known even nobunaga would troll him over his appearance

the long and short of it is that we have a lot of evidence strongly suggesting that Yasuke was likely a samurai but we don't have, like, a piece of paper signed by Oda Nobunaga himself that says "Yasuke is a samurai" so to white dudes pretending to be Japanese on burner accounts they created 3 days ago this means he absolutely was not a samurai, guaranteed, and to say he was is disrespectful to japanese culture

I played both Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima with the English dub. If I liked the Yakuza games, I would also probably play them with a dub.

i have not known or seen anyone who buys $1k+ graphics cards and actually games on them for their entire time in gpu service, the people who own those just tend to run 3dmark every month, play two hours of the latest popular game, and then go back to computer touching and twitter posting

The funny thing is that most people who get the powerful cards seemingly don't use them for the only legitimate use case where they give a significant benefit - gaming on a 120hz 4k display. I base this off of the fact that most "PC gamers" seem to do mouse + keyboard gaming on PC monitors (and even if those monitors are 4k, there's not a big difference between 4k and 1440 on a smaller display).
