A lot of the hate was also from trailers showing off completely fucked bugs. Floating and/or frozen characters, unloaded assets, etc technical disasters

Sure, but that's not the hate being addressed here. Those were comments specifically about there being a black guy as a main character.

The fact that it's a buggy barely playable mess is par for the course for Ubisoft.

Yeah its an ubisoft copy-paste game. It is a bad game cause they don't make any good games.

But american conservatives are mad that some shitty ass sci fi slop game from a terrible developer is not 100% historically accurate since they want an samurai to be white texan instead of black.

Also I'm pretty sure that the black samurai in the game is an actual real, historical figure. Or at least based on one.

Which makes it all so much stupider. It's not even about race swapping, it's literally people upset that the main character of a video game is black.

Why hate a ubisoft game for having a historically accurate black dude when ubisoft games do plenty of other legitimate things to earn hate?
