daeva-agas: renwritesrandomthings: daeva-agas: renwritesrandomthings: daeva-agas: YIKES????? BIG FUCKING YIKES?????? NO WONDER THEY RENAMED THIS VAGUE FOREIGN COUNTRY TO SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE???? NOBODY AMONG TENKA STAFF REALIZES THAT THIS IS INAPPROPRIATE???? AT BEST KIND OF AWKWARD??? The rest of the post behind cut just in case. I’m not interested in drama, but this just rubs me wrong so much.  Keep reading Ugh. This. This. Seriously: Oda pounds, then Hashiba (Toyotomi) kneads the rice cake of the realm. Tokugawa sits and eats it. “Oda ga tsuki, Hashiba ga koneshi, tenkamochi. Suwarishimama ni kurau wa Tokugawa.” ^That alone explains history. I feel that these otome games are always unfair to Hideyoshi’s historical facts. Yes, the Korean invasion was a failed attempt. But, you can’t just revise history in this extent. And not just Hideyoshi, but to some extent this could be seen as offensive because WW2. Japan did invade and conquer then, and people are still upset about it today. Even if this is technically Lala land, it’s such an iffy subject to so casually treat it this way. Ugh, I’m not one to usually get offended by this, but Hideyoshi erasure has always been a big pet peeve of mine. Having THIS unfortunate implication on top is just one strike too many. Oh, btw I saw your tags. Might want to change them because this is Koiran, not Ikesen… @daeva-agas thanks! Fixed the tags. Ugh. Yeah, i am all for twisting history for fiction. But, revisionism is really just another thing. At first, I was all maybe ‘too sensitive’ on Hideyoshi erasure. But, it’s too obvious already. Like, the Yesu Ieyasu (as you said) is already pretty common. But, now they add Mitsuhide. Lol. I am not sure if it’s a history guilt that he’s always been the villain. But, it’s different when they totally put the spotlight on him to erase Hideyoshi again. Japan and WWII issue already exists, must they extend it to 16th century. ‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️ Yeaaah, I mentioned on my Twitter thread that I have strong suspicions that Akechi Kenzaburou was the source of the Bestest Amazingest Gentlemanest Sparkle Sparkly Akechi. I remember while looking up his books, a reader had reviewed something like “According to this book, the one Nobunaga trusted was really Akechi. Hideyoshi made up all the stories about him being the favourite later to make himself look good”. If the review is true, then this book is guilty of the exact same thing. The writer is Akechi’s descendant. How do you know he’s not writing propaganda to make his ancestor look good? I mean, the other suspicion I had was that it was for the sake of “emotional manipulation drama”. Like, if Akechi and Nobu were good friends previously, it would make Honnouji hurt like hell. They’re doing the same damn thing with Nobu’s rebellious brother Nobuyuki/Nobukatsu/Nobusada/whatever you choose his name is. They make them like THE BESTEST LOVINGEST BROTHERS EVER so that the betrayal would be a sucker punch. Either way, this trope is beginning to get overdone, and I’m fed up by it. Akechi is a great samurai, sure, but don’t go overboard. Also, yeah, “Hideyoshi attacked notJoseon because notMing is attacking first” is a very shitty way to make the Korea invasion look less bad. It just makes it look even more horrible. Really, if you must blame someone else, just make the Europeans the bad guys or something. IRL Hideyoshi wanted to kick them out because they’re trading Japanese people as slaves.  Yes! That last line on the Europeans and Slave trade could have been a better plot, tbh.I am really getting tired of painting Mitsuhide as almost like a mythical figure. (´ｰ｀) like, you can write his humanness beyond that betrayal factoid. He was for sure an amazing warlord in his own ways. Not, some lazy as writing for a tired dramatic scene and revisionism. Despite this is an otome game, players pay for stories and merch. Might as well put a little more effort in making it connected to facts. There are more creative ways in queering history, than revising it. -- source link
