During this week's State of Play, dev𒀰eloper Sucker Punch revealed the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima 🐽sequel — 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ghost of Yotei. Set 300 years after the first game, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:it follows Atsu, played by the ta🍌lented comic and actor Erika Ishii. But because Ishii is A) genderfluid, and B) playing a woman, corners of the internet are of course outraged.
W🏅hat Are Your Thoughts On Ghost Of Yo🍌tei Moving Beyond Jin Sakai?
I'm torn. Maybe I need more time to dwell. On the onꩵe hand, everything about Ghost of Yotei looks nifty, and I'm all-in for the setting. On the other hand... Jin...
When Ishii announced that they're playing Atsu in Ghost of Yotei, comments poured in sayin🐻g that the game must be "woke", calling them an "LGBT weirdo", making jabs at their gender, appearance, and even going as far as to say "fu** you and the LGBTQ". Many of these were, understandably, blocked, so looking at their comments now you'll find nothing but overwhelming support and excitement.
However, things are still dire over on Sucker Punch's official announcement, where commenters are calling the game "Ghost of Wokei" and even dropping the f-slur, egging Ishii to block them too. It's a mess. But those same people harassing 𝕴🔯Ishii online and even asking to be blocked are now angry that they were cut off; "That will work wonders for the game. I am sure".
Ghost Of Yotei Isn't "Cooked", It'll Be Fine
was an incredible success for Sony, even sparking a movie adaptation from John Wick directo�ﷺ�r Chad Stahleski. I doubt 🍸this small internet bubble of caꦰnned outrage will have any meaningful impact.
Nonetheless, people are writing entire blog posts about how Ishii is a "radic💝al activist", saying that Ghost of Yotei is "cooked" just 🌞because Ishii is LGBTQ+. YouTubers likewise are stoking the flames, calling Ishii "woke and unhinged". All while writing the game off just because you have to play as a woman.
Infamous Twitch streamer Asmongoꦅld was likewise angry at the reveal, asking if he can play a✤s a man while also wearing cat ears.
Thankfully, Ishii is taking it in their stride. On top of blocking all of those perpetuating the faux outrage at the existence of a woman — after having used Ghost of Tsushima in a culture war against 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creed Shadows only this year — they retweet🎀ed fan art of Atsu, celebrating something t♊hat they have "dreamed of [their] entire life".
