I was on deviantart and looked at some meme's (it's kinda like a survey but you draw the answers) and they were all basically done by fangirls. Not only that but the first one I clicked on had frickin yaoi on it frist thing. (If you don't know what yaoi is it's when someone pairs up to male characters) I honestly didn't think that bs happened with RE, but apparently it does. In most of the questions that asked "What are you buying?" The answer was Leon. I probably would have found it funny if one person did it...but at least two or three did. Funny thing, this one person says she hates Ashely, yet she draws herself clinging to just about every main male character. Yeah not like Ashely at all. Hell I'd bet they'd give anything to have Leon or whoever come and rescue them. Well I wouldn't! I'd try and make effort to help the person helping me and try and defend myself. And every single one of them called Ada a slut, which she is not. Sure her dress slit in RE4 was a little high for me, but that doesn't make her a slut. Hell it had to be that big or else she couldn't move properly. They're only calling her a slut for three, no four reasons. 1) She's more attractive then they are, 2) She looks better in that dress, 3) She gets attention from Leon, 4) she's capable of handling herself. I do acknowlage that you are entitled to have your favorite and not so favorite characters, but there is a difference between giving good and dumb reasons. I may sound a bit harsh, but I'm rather fed up with this crap.
Side note: I actually found someone who said Alfred and that one annoying short guy from RE4 were their favorite characters...dear lord I was ready to grab a gun...
I wasn't so sure if this should go in general disscusion or RE chat...

Yes even perversion has entered our dear beloved Resident Evil. It's not surprising... there are so many weird and sick folks out there, and they can't seem to help themselves. I'd like for one of them to have the nads to actually call someone like Ada a slut... they'd get a can of whoop a*s on them... Anyone who has Alfred and that short little nimrod with a Napoleon complex as their favorite characters clearly is a bit unhinged, and should be politely ignored...

Alfred or Salazar may not be favorite characters to any of us, but saying someone is "unhinged" for liking either of them above others isn't right because they can say the same thing about me liking Carlos more than Chris and Jill more than Claire.
As far as Ada being a slut, there's nothing in RE to suggest she's that promiscuous. There's nothing in RE to suggest anything about her intimate life at all. But, while I'm not Doctor T., I do happen to know that something as insignificant as two girls wearing the same belt is enough to make them scream "slut" at each other.

I figured by my using the smiley one would be able to tell I was being sarcastic, and making a joke. The surprising thing is you would think I'd resort to name calling over something as inconsequential as this. As far as Ada being a slut, there's nothing in RE to suggest she's that promiscuous.

But, while I'm not Doctor T., I do happen to know that something as insignificant as two girls wearing the same belt is enough to make them scream "slut" at each other. I think it has more to do with people don't seem to like strong minded women, or women who can take care of themselves. It goes against what they are led to believe their whole lives, that we are the "weaker" or "helpless" sex. When in reality nothing could be further from the truth.

Well, what confuses me is that Tvirus is implying that it's women actually saying it.

I think it's mostly because they wish they could be more like them, but either can't are afraid to do so.

Yikes. Doesn't look like Resident Evil is safe from perversion. In my mind though as long as we don't get involved than it has nothing to do with us. There may be another way to that but I'm unsure what it is.

Perversion has always been present, at least others have always tried to make a perversion out of it, or any game for that matter. You see isn't so and so hot topics on almost every board. I for one do not see how some one could like a video character in that way... they are pixels, not real in any way. It's not like having the hots for an actor or actress, at least they are a physically real. You can touch them, feel them (if your lucky that is... ), and yes even smell them if that is your desire... But to each their own I guess...

Well, what confuses me is that Tvirus is implying that it's women actually saying it. Well all the ones I read that called Ada a slut were made by girls. And as Ashe said, it's probably because she's something they may never be. Hell I'd look up to Ada, she does what she wants but she still cares for people, not to mention she is smart. Like I said: it's probably because she gets attention from Leon, and he states that she is a part of him he can't forget. Basically, they're jelious. In most fantasy/RPG games or anime, fan girls hate a female character because she is the girl friend/crush of they're favorite male character. And Unfortunatly, some people have trouble noting the characters are fake. Or they just chose to obsess over them anyways. This is were I'd like to note the difference(in my opinion)between fans and fan girls/boys. Fans are what the word implies, they like the game, story and characters. Were fan girls/boys obsess over the game and characters to the point were its just annoying. And yaoi...especially Resident Evil yaoi just drives me up the wall. I can't believe this person has the guts to say "Oh he's my favorite character!" and then demean the character in such a way. Chris and Wesker are enemies, they do not secretly love each other and they certainly do not "make love" in their spare time. And getting slightly off topic, pairing Axel and Roxas together is terrible. Seeing as Roxas is obviously younger than Axel. Roxas being(or at least looking) 14-15, and Axel looks as if he's either in his later teens maybe 18 ish, or in his really early 20's. In a sense it's like promoting pedophilia, or at least the way I see it. Now don't get me wrong I have nothing wrong with gay people. I just don't like seeing my favorite characters doing crap they wouldn't do and being paired off for someone's sick pornographic fetish. And Spartan as I said before, I'm aware everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I was just in a really bad mood.

Ha. On a side note I read a fanfic not too long ago that had Wesker and Chris as lovers and that Chris was pregnant. That made me want to vomit.

How dare you imply my Jill isn't real!!! Well, we dare 'cause it be the truth.... Yes it is. Believe me, I'm sad that Billy, Leon, Rebecca and Claire aren't real. But did you not find your real life Jill? And yes, it is disgusting. Not to mention men can't get pregnant, so we all know that person lacks basic biology. You know, I do also find if funny that I used to be into that kind of stuff. But not anymore, thank goodness. I remember I would think how I hated girl on girl because it was porn, though what I was looking at was the same thing. It may have been a contributing factor but I think I just grew out of it.

In my experience, when girls start to claim the other females are sluts for no real reason other than a male is in the picture....well, there you go. Ada is considered a slut because Leon may or may not have romantic inclinations her way. It's silly because he hasn't really said one way or another (and, ya know, he's pixels...).
I'll tell ya who I'm tired of hearing about being a slut....Angela. Poor Angela. Everyone hates on her and I really had no issues with her whatsoever.
