Well, this particular bit of bait worked excellently last week.
There was a thread on GAF about how Anita Sarkeesian liked some aspects of Syndicate.
So yeah.
Also all the above, female playable character, trans male character, minority characters, Karl Marx is in the game ... GG must be having a field day.
Marxism is about class struggle, so yeah.

I heard there was disdain for the way the game paints Marx.
But the series has always seemed to indulge in juvenile left wing biases, I don't know why anyone would be surprised that a series about edgy revolutionaries in super cool hoods would take a "muh oppression" narrative and use it to portray Marx as a working class hero.

lol
That sounds like the boycott is because of the fact that the game is making fun of communism.

that's a shop, isn't it? I hope it's real, though.
This. You can probably find almost anything on twitter, certain viewpoints, certain posts and say it's a thing because you found 100 other people saying the same thing.
Stolen from another thread, but yeah this is clearly all up in Marx's asshole with it's liberal agenda.
(Hint: Read the last paragraph)
I wanna high-five whoever wrote that.
God I hope not. I'll have to look later on tonight.

You play as Karl Marx, he wasn't a communist.

Don't know you guys, but I've been boycotting Assassin Creed since the first one
It's supposed to be written "in character", right? I seem to remember that the smart-ass dude with the glasses writes all the animus entries.

People are now using the hashtag to teach about the history of communism. I can't tell who's being serious and who's not.

Boycotting assumes you want the thing in the first place and are willing to not get it (even though you want it) for other reasons.
Therefore, I am unable to boycott, simply because I don't care about the games.
Though, to those of you who do want to play the game.....Ubisoft always sells their games for dirt cheap less than a year after it is released. You can wait and if everyone waits, then they will be forced to make better games because they cannot afford to sell the bulk of these games at $20 less than a year after release.

IIRC Lenin is also in one of the releases and is an ally to the Assassins.

Not a mod, just a bot.
This hashtag is populated almost entirely by white supremacists, neo-reactionaries, or 4chan trolls. You fell for it by giving them a voice here. You know how people complain about "outrage culture", where every little outrage is amplified and given a megaphone? This is a far-right attempt to use outrage culture to serve their politics, and it works because people fall for it.
Don't believe me? Here are the top 25 authors on the hashtag who have twitter names and/or descriptions:
The rest of the top 100 look roughly the same. Removed two people who seemed to have their real names and did not seem to be associated with this stuff.
