I'm gonna be honest, I don't think people ever really cared about the historical accuracy of assasin's creed game, like ever. I think they cared more about them being good/fun games, which they haven't been for probably the last decade from what I heard.

I agree that for many people this was the last straw. But many were also angry at how pathetic Ubisoft were in trying to justify this.

thank u
Something you all should realize is that feminists spend a lot of time criticizing things they actually like.
Back in the 70s/80s they were critiquing the Disney movies. despite watching all of them. Once you bring social analysis into your viewing experience, it's hard to stop, so enjoying it and then making a critique of the parts you thought were less good are a way to reconcile the two conflicting feelings, not to shut anything down or stop people from seeing it. Sometimes criticizing manga is like this- they actually like it a lot, but can't help question some aspects of it.
This is different than how a lot of people want to engage with media, but feminists having a book club or publishing a zine didn't really impact them. They would just ignore the zine if not interested or more likely not know what a zine is.
Since then, social media has gotten ridiculous and I have exiled myself from all social media, other than mangadex forum and comic comment section. There's much more wanting to denounce certain people as the bad ones, establish your camp as the good one, and often basically humiliate people until they leave public life. I don't think this is specific to a political view, but these communities thrive on anger and a sense of outrage. They are fundamentally toxic in that way, nurturing the traits that lead to its participants suffering and rejecting the diversity of human thought and experience.
I am saying this as someone part of publicly visible 'marginalized group'. I have been targeted by discriminatory laws, socially isolated or mocked by the mainstream population, been met with anger for refusing to be a prop to let mainstream liberals feel good about their progressiveness, shunned by a far left community filled with my particular marginalized group that decided I was someone manipulative and dangerous, etc.
Being targeted by any of these groups in that way is bad to experience, though which particular ones individual people are targeted by may be impacted by their traits and views. At the same time, people really do have more in common than they think and are ability to connect as humans can surpass our particular traits, views, and whatever groups we think we're a part of, if we can just maintain an open enough mind to not shut down when it happens.
PS: I wanted to write something so I picked this thread arbritrarily. Thanks for reading, if you actually read it.

we already had true feminism with the tomboy. it still is ultimately the end all be all of the original position of: we can do just as well as men. in a society that has equal laws for both sexes.

thats still a minority compared to the amount of porn with women just saying, anime is literally half sexualizing women and girls as weeb you should understand this im not saying men cant be sexualized its just not as bad as women have it im apart of the problem too im not speaking from a soapbox ive sexualized women before too lol
It would be kind of hard to criticize porn for be sexualized, I think, as that's the point of it. If you have a problem with that, you are probably not watching porn in the first place. The real question is when and how it's done, which some people might perceive appropriate or inappropriate on a case by case basis, in the same way the youtuber found overwatch diversity appropriate / natural but some other blizzard choices as over the top (and so-called-woke) pandering. This is not that different than the twitter user finding certain character designs of female characters as excessive pandering to straight men.
Where exactly the line gets drawn comes down individual interpretation, which is going to be impacted by your life experience, social network, etc. It shouldn't be especially notable or interesting that people have different reactions in and of itself. Considering that, it's not worth conferring one's mental space and limited lifespan to reading angry rants on twitter or watching angry rants about the angry rants on youtube, which will just predispose you to experiencing more anger and discord in the future.
In any case, I mention feminism because there is a big overlap with the modern "social justice" movement, which essentially incorporated fourth wave feminism. This is the left wing ideology about the intersection of different identity traits, the axises of privilege, how we should "listen to X voices", etc. This is usually more or less what people are referring to when they say "wokeists" (though often they mean the more strident subsets), but I guess I would also rather say wokeist than feminist while making a criticism if using the second would get me branded an incel.
