Foreigners posted a post to support "Assassin's Creed: Shadow": It's all double standards to say it's bad!
Assassins Creed Shadows Assassins Creed Shadows has been controversial for the black male lead, and has been accused of disrespecting Japanese history since its launch. Recently, foreign netizens posted on the Reddit forum to support this work and said that there are too many people with double standards now.
The netizen said: "I wonder if you have noticed that a large number of popular anime and games such as "Attack on Titan", "The Alchemist of Steel", "Aelden Far Ring", and "Resident Evil" all use European backgrounds and typical Western names such as Elvin Smith and Lyon Kennedy, and these creators are obviously Japanese?"
"No one seems to have objected to this. In fact, people love these works and fully accept the creators' free interpretation of different cultures. But when Western developers make games such as "Assassin's Creed" or "Soul of Tsushima", accusations of "cultural appropriation" and "disrespect" suddenly emerge."
Isn't this hypocritical? Isn’t artistic creation exactly what should cross national boundaries and promote cultural exchanges?
"But it just doesn't do well!" - If the problem lies in quality, then let's talk about the details, but this is a discussion of craftsmanship, not ideological criticism.
"Japan has never colonized Europe, and the West has a black colonial history in Asia" - but Japan itself also has a colonial history and has invaded North Korea and some parts of China. Every country's history has stains, but cultural fusion in the field of art should still be allowed to exist.
