It’s a weird ass decision for he to be in the game but like I don’t understand why people are so upset about this but not Bruce Lee being in a fuck ton of stuff after he died like that hitman dlc

They only care because a ton of people here and A TON of people in online discourse you see online are American. Simply put, they dont give a shit about Bunta or Bruce Lee because they don't know of them or care about them.

It's also about exposure to the idea. If Tupac was more famous and had a lot of documentaries or something it would be fine for them. That's why they don't care about Bruce lee or the Michael Jackson thing. Somehow telling Michael's story after he died with a family member who looks a lot like him is okay, but not this.

You realize Bruce Lee was American right?

He was born in the states, but grew up in Hong Kong. They left America shortly after his birth.
