The black samurai protagonist "Yasuke" in Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed: Shadows" has aroused widespread discussion among players at home and abroad. Meanwhile, a user on the Reddit forum was permanently banned by moderators for posting some friendly discussion about casting on the PS5 forum, an incident that caused an uproar in the online community.
reddit user u/golemisbest asked a question in the PS5 forum: "Are there any other Asians who regret that there are no Asian male protagonists in the game?" Unfortunately, his statement was regarded as inappropriate by the moderators of the PS5 forum. It violated community rules and was permanently banned for this reason, resulting in u/golemisbest being unable to post any comments in this forum.
This incident quickly became a hot topic, and many netizens expressed that the problem of censorship of speech on reddit has existed for a long time. One commenter even sarcastically said that if u/golemisbest’s original request had been for a black or trans protagonist to be the game’s protagonist, he might not have been banned. Obviously, the controversy caused by Yasuke's character in "Assassin's Creed: Shadows" will continue for some time.
