SYABM comic 40 “Nothing is true, everything is straw”

It’s been two years and change since AC Unity came out, and many feminists are still salty over something Ubisoft never said.

Ubi said it wasn’t practical to do mo-cap, rig, model, and animate female characters for co-op (a secondary mode most players would probably never touch) in an entirely new engine, even though they wanted to. What actually got into the co-op was basically just palette swaps of Arno, the main character.

The strawman version was “Ubisoft said it’s too hard to put women in their game”. And that meme refuses to die.

And when the game came out and it was a buggy, incomplete mess, the Party just ignored it.

I have never seen a single person admit they were wrong about the game.



Of course, when Syndicate actually included a female player character, the complainers didn’t care. Because victory gets less angry tweets than outrage.
