stressed and depressed

she's Jesus

It irks me so badly when people view the women characters in resident evil as potential wives for Leon(this is in any fandom culture if I'm going to be completely honest), as if that is their only purpose in the whole series. Whole character arcs and themes are flattened, just to be potential partners for the male characters. And the way people pit the women against each other too, and most of the time its based off of how loyal the woman is to the patriarchy. The more compliant and submissive the better. The one who displays her sexuality the most is condemned. It may not be obvious but it is clearly there. People treat them like rewards or potential love interests all the time, and act like its the most important thing for the female characters in RE. Has no one ever considered if Leon is a suitable partner? When men display these traits they are forgiven and considered complex.
