This meme was a lot funnier before the whole Assassin's Creed debacle. Although it is funny seeing people get mad about it while trying not to sound racist lol.

Or maybe the character is historically accurate, and yall are just being racist...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuke

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 60 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This meme was created way before Assassin's Creed added Yasuke to their game. Which sucks because this meme was pretty funny before people got racist.

[–] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Wait, you think that racism is new? Where were you during pretty much every history class ever?

And also Ubisoft isn't American, they're a French company. So instead of Guile we should have Manon.

Her Color 2 for that outfit is trans flag colors. Idk if it was confirmed that she's trans, but if she is, she's not the first trans character in Street Fighter.

[–] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, I did hear about Poison being trans a long time ago. Completely forgot until now!

[–] PotatoKat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Poison is only trans in America lmao. She's def not the greatest representation since the designer of Final Fight made her trans in NA because he thought americans would have a problem with men beating up a woman which is yikes for many reasons

So was he a samurai or not?

Yasuke was a retainer. And Retainers were loyal and trusted individuals who served a lord, such as a daimyo or the shogun, in various capacities, especially in military matters.

In other words, a warrior. And Samurai are the warrior caste.

Still waiting for Guile’s theme to replace the US National Anthem

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or the fat guy in the stars and stripes shirt in Katamari Damacy. Or Bobson Dugnutt.

Sleve McDicheal for MVP.

I didn’t see this meme itself as racist. It’s a very common and somewhat funny misconception.

They say most of Japan is super racist, but it's racist in a flattering way!

Eh, if you watched the reveal of Kimberly in SF6 there was some pretty awful shit coming from the Japanese stream chat. People suck everywhere

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

What was awful about it? I am always looking for ways to feel bad about being American

Please share! I kinda love seeing this stuff because Japanese racism makes me laugh for some reason, like a child calling someone a doo doo head.

[–] suction@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (14 children)

What part of “foreigners can’t use our sex clubs” is supposed to be flattering?

[–] zarathustrad@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They don't want foreigners to stretch things out too much.

You know, because we are so tall and heavy like ripped Guile, and lean on stuff. Where did you think this was going?

[–] olutukko@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it really tells something about the tourists behaviour in sex clubs

[–] suction@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not everyone is a Russian sailor

[–] olutukko@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] suction@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Why do you care, are your mother and sister complaining?
