    Not historically accurate at all… but might be fun.

    Edit: Apparently it’s based on Yasuke, a black samurai. Oh well…

        lol idc if it’s black or not. I was actually expecting Asian, how can you not when it’s a samurai game set in Japan? Didn’t know Yasuke was an actual samurai, so I think it’s dope. That’s why I edited it in the first place. But you do you - and jump to conclusions.

        Well, I think “white male” in video games is kind of a “default persona”. So, when we see white male do something, we just consider it a generic game character, but any change from “while male”, and we pick it right away and start thinking if it’s correct representation or not.

        Just my spur-of-the-moment thoughts on your post. 😀
