Assassin’s Creed Shadows streamer goes viral after confronting whining commenters: ‘Normal people don’t get upset about this sh***’

The leadup to the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows was dogged by a relentless campaign of outrage driven by aggrieved gamers angered over the presence of a Black samurai in Japan. The potential impact of that campaign ahead of the game’s launch was a big question—but then the launch actually happened and by all indications,…
