Assassin's Creed Subreddit Mass-Bans All Yasuke Critics?!

Reddit's r/assassinscreed moderators are now banning users for questioning or commenting about Yasuke's historical status. According to a recent announcement, the moderators have declared that Yasuke was a samurai, and any dissenting opinions will result in an immediate ban. This means that even Ubisoft, which recently admitted that Yasuke's status is up for debate, would be banned if they posted their apology in the subreddit.

With the reveal of Assassin's Creed Shadows, discussions about historical accuracy have surged, but the subreddit is shutting them down. The moderators have stated there is no debate – Yasuke was a samurai, and those who disagree must go elsewhere. They emphasize that Assassin's Creed is historical fiction, meant to inspire external research rather than serve as a historical sourcebook.

This heavy-handed approach to moderating the subreddit has drawn criticism from fans who feel silenced for discussing the game's portrayal of Yasuke and other historical elements. The subreddit, which was once a hub for lively debate and discussion, is now banning users for raising questions about the historical accuracy of Ubisoft's depictions.

What are your thoughts on this situation? Is this an attempt to maintain community harmony, or is it an overreach that stifles valid discussion and criticism? Let us know in the comments below and share your experiences with the r/assassinscreed subreddit.
