"It happened" and "it is good writing" are different imo. I just want diverse characters in typically mono-ethnic settings to have a story as to how they got there. I feel like that's just good writing.
Assassin's creed is purely fictional and has very little basis in reality, so no, people do not make the exact same argument about Assassin's creed, because my argument necessarily excludes it as I have said already lol. Besides, Yaskue was a real person. It's not even historically inaccurate and his origin is explained.
Good example, in Castlevania Nocturne they introduce a bunch of multi-ethnic characters and give them all backstories as to how they ended up in 19th century France. I think that's awesome, and I love to see the thought and effort being put in there. I don't want these characters to be white, I want them to have a story.
Historical or alternate history fiction falls under pure fiction imo. That's fine as long as it makes sense. If it's meant to be some super grounded realistic historical slice-of-life then it would just make me think "when are they going to bring up the fact that there's X type of person walking around here" for the whole story.
Not exclusive to black people. If there were a story that took place in 12th century Mongolia and there was some Nordic guy walking around I would be like "huh, what's his story" and then be confused when it was never mentioned. That's how I feel about a lot of these creative choices.
Really shows you that their worldview leaves no room for multiculturalism lol. As soon as brown people are let into their country's borders, bam, suddenly their whole identity and culture ceases to exist somehow, despite still being the majority.
Getting mad sure, but it is definitely a dumb creative decision to have characters be random races that don't make sense in the historical context and it's fine to criticize it. If it's a purely fictional world with no basis in reality then no one should care.
It was only a partial meltdown, some cooling systems failed and it was successfully contained! Safety precautions designed to stop a full meltdown and release of radiation succeeded.
I know that's not really the point of your comment but I feel like this particular incident has a lot of misinfo and I wanted to help elucidate what happened.
I have never nicked myself with a cartridge razor whether I shave wet or dry, even with sloppy technique. I have 5 safety razors of varying design and thickness and about 100 brands of cream and blades, and I have to be careful with them or they leave gashes on my face. I have a very sharp chin with basically no body fat so that might contribute to it.
They've been making variations on the same game for over a decade, I totally believe them when they say that a tool used to regurgitate existing content is something important to their business.
This is true but it has a learning curve and you shouldn't shave your face with these unless you're willing to accept that you might accidentally get some small scars from nicks
Why would a diplomat have a direct line of communication with a powerful military force in the region? That seems like a pretty straightforward question with an obvious answer lol.
