Gamers are so fucking embarrassing man... These people will harass a voice actor, because they don't like that the character the person plays killed a beloved character.
It's like they cannot tell fiction from reality.
Edit:
Anik Talukder, a 28-year-old south Asian man living in the United Kingdom, said he apologized at least 10 times to Schmidt-Hori after accepting her Zoom invitation to discuss his Reddit post about her.
Look... It's great this person felt remorse, but Jesus Christ these people fold immediately. A bunch of racist paper tigers.
-
Honestly, that's most racist people. As soon as they actually meet the target of their vitriol, they'll usually fold. Just make sure they're alone and not with their racist buddies.
The same goes for most forms of bigotry.

Learning Yasuke was based on a real person did little to assuage critics. Asian men in particular argued Schmidt-Hori was trying to erase them, even though her role involved researching historical customs and reviewing scripts, not creating characters.
If you are this stupid, maybe you in particular should be erased?

Uneducated comment, removed.

My dude... Not only can Asians be racist, they are some of the most racist people around. Go to China and listen to them talk about other races. They make Alabama seem like a pinnacle of equality and tolerance.

If you actually read the article, you’d see your assumption is wrong.

I’m Asian-European and in my experience there are many Asians who are right wing racist shit heads. Not to mention all the self hating Asian women who hate every Asian man on the planet including their own family members.
-
Yeah, that's just racist in the other direction. You could read the article where it gives some examples and the part where Schmidt-Hori met some of them on video.

The article disagrees

Exactly. And empathy is not a weakness, it's a strength. Blindly hating things is weakness and ignorance.

Let me just open this article to see how billion dollar company Ubisoft helped defend and protect their consultant...
Told her to ignore it. Cool
Made a statement about how amazing she is after she turned the tide. Got it.

Kindness wins.

I don't understand people like that. If you don't like some piece of entertainment, don't consume it, leave a bad review, and move on
-
don't consume it, leave a bad review,
If you didn't consume it, why leave a review let alone a bad one?
-
I meant that as an "or". Don't consume or give feedback if you do

Good franchise fanbase strikes again
-
At this point I wouldn't call the Assassin's Creed franchise "good". "Painfully mediocre" is closer to what I'd call it, but that's just Ubisoft games in general nowadays
-
It's a meme ya dunce

I wish the biggest problem in my life was how good a video game is. If you don't like the game, leave a bad review, warn others in your circle... but don't go harassing people that worked on it.
A big part of the problem is that social media platforms encourage and amplify hateful content.
People are literally profiting from their hate and harassment of game developers (and have the hubris to complain about ‘woke grifters’) but platforms like YouTube just throw up their hands and pretend it’s nothing to do with them.
especially a series thats been like that for several titles lol. makes no sense
If you lack any self-worth and identity on your own, you will derive it from hating others.
