User blog comment:Alexander C. Miles/Numerous Controversies/@comment-733050-20140617225702

I'm sorry, but how was Ubisoft's response over gender in Unity insulting? It clarified for the first time that in co-op you will always play as Arno, so the gender of the skin they put on other players on your screen is irrelevant.

I don't really care about 'controversies' myself, ACI and II should have been more controversial, it depicts all religious beliefs and scientific theories as false and even depicts a Pope, even one as corrupt as Alexander VI, as pure evil. Clearly the series' increase in popularity means even criticisms as petty as Peta's attack on AC4 are big news now, which is a good thing for Ubisoft, it's gotten to a point that any publicity is good publicity.

Fortunately the writers of the series are very mature and avoid real controversies, imagine if they had depicted the Freemasons as Templars, or AC3 didn't mention any of the Founding Fathers' flaws and not depicted them as real people with ambitions and oversights?
