rambling in the tags like a madman

Leon stans be like "Leon Kennedy would never🥰" "Leon Kennedy would treat me right🥰🥰" when this man's average lines are "women🙄" and "following a lady's lead just isn't my style" and "maybe you're not heartless after all" to a woman who's saved his life 27473 times

#the way he acts like ada betrayed him will never fail to piss me off #like at least he isnt just woman hating and blatantly making fun of women #but like he acts like ada owes him something like i understand his feelings being hurt because he trusted her #but ultimately thats on him for trusting someone so blindly and shes not the villain for lying to him she quite literally needed to #and she clearly cares a LOT about him and he acts like she doesnt like dawg is so blind and stupid and ungrateful #mf is subtly entitled and i think that actually would be an interesting layer to his character that breaks his stereotypical heroic nature #but i know it wouldnt be an intentional decision and capcom probably thinks they ACTUALLY wrote out his misogyny but they clearly didnt #misogyny is so engrained in these games its kinda wild i noticed it severely when i replayed re6 #the way ada is treated like an object by the entirety of the franchise is absurd and its crazier that THATS like the main killer in re6 #was people objectifying ada and treating her like she's not a real person and there is so much opportunity to write in themes about how-#disgusting and demoralizing ane destructive misogyny is and opens a lot to like messaging abt the fetishization of asian women especially #but NO capcom had their own point fly over their heads and objectified her in the game despite that being the whole spark to the conflict #and could it have been a cool unreliable narrative touch to do that INTENTIONALLY to then further the point and tell the narrative: yeah.#but NoooOOoOOOoo #they gotta treat her like an accessory #not to mention Leon being a total misogynist in that game i cannot get over that interaction with him and Jake before fighting Ustanak #the one thats like: “guys like an ex girlfriend. never knows when to quit.” and leon goes: “welcome to the club.”#i wanna smack him #both of them actually #i should rewrite re6 with all the same plot points but with a less nasty narrative #bc theres so much potential for commentary on misogyny and objectification of women #and generational trauma and honestly post traumatic experience in general #and the elements of body horror cloning etc #also especially with ada (who i think should be the protagonist of the game)-#and re6 being after starting her arc of personal change for her to be faced with the false idea of what ada wong is/was in the past is-#crazy compelling and with the bit in og re3 where she acknowledges that ada wong is just a false idea it could be even stronger as a story #and for this false idea and for her past to come back to haunt her and this false idea of her taking her entire identity and-#presenting itself to the world as her and who she is #not to mention that SHE ends up destroying the concept of Ada Wong and what people who objectify her percieve her as #FUCKING UUYGGGGGGWGEHHHHHHHSHBEB IM SO ILL ABOUT HER THIS IS ALWAYS ON MY MIND
