This is pretty much what Capcom has hanging up in every office cubicle. *glares at Capcom’s refusal to deal with having given Jill Valentine a horrifically traumatic story in RE5 purely for the sake of showing Chris’ “manpain” at seeing her like that*

Well said! So damn tired of Capcom using the ladies of RE as a motivation for the guys lol It also pains and annoys me how both have been relegated to the less important “Revelations” subseries, while Chris and Leon have been given the numbered, and arguably, more important titles. I really hope they stop with this crap soon.

The problems with how Capcom treats Jill and Claire vs Chris and Leon are even more insidious than it may look like at a glance. It’s hard to even know where to begin explaining it all.

I guess first of all, Capcom seemed dead set on the idea of “replacing” Jill and Claire with “younger, newer models” of women to be their support. The attitude is that only the men matter and the women supplement the men. You saw it with Resident Evil 5 trying to “replace” Jill with Sheva (VERY heavy-handed, too, with all its talk about partners and Jill acting like she doesn’t “deserve” to be Chris’ partner anymore), and you saw it with Resident Evil Degeneration “replacing” Claire with Angela (and reducing Claire to damsel/controls operator).

That’s already bad. It gets worse.

Resident Evil 6 was being presented during release as the most important Resident Evil project for its 25th anniversary. For that game, Capcom decided it should star campaigns with Chris and Leon, alongside new characters of course, whereas Jill and Claire got… nothing. Claire got a fleeting mention and that’s it. It says a damn lot that the two most important women in the franchise’s history are nowhere to be found, especially since Sherry was so deeply tied to Claire in RE2.

And then there’s the Revelations titles, which open up a whole new can of worms. They’re TECHNICALLY representation, but and I still bought and played them, but even that is insulting in its own ways.

Both Revelations and Revelations 2 were spinoff side games which Capcom treated like pure experimental fare. Less promotion, smaller budget, “try new things and if it bombs it’s no biggie” kind of stuff. Already, Capcom is signaling that they see Jill and Claire as so “worthless” that they’re to be used as guinea pigs for ideas they think could bomb. Then there’s what Revelations is.

Revelations is a “return to formula,” emphasis on the horror part of survival horror. Now here’s the thing: they’ve established an attitude of where men and women “belong.” Men “belong” as the stars of the main, numbered entries because they’re action-oriented. Women “belong” as the stars of these spinoffs because they’re horror.

Or to put it another way: “women are emotional, they’re weaker, they get scared more easily, so you can identify with them more than men in a horror setting.” By contrast, “men are more stoic, stronger, they don’t scare as easy, you can identify with men more in an action setting.”

Everything about where Capcom has decided to put Chris and Leon vs Jill and Claire is built on the false premise that male characters are “better” than female characters.

And then there’s the simple layer of obsessive Chris fanboyism that people working for the RE team at Capcom very clearly have. If you limit to just the men, Leon is clearly more popular than Chris and has been for quite some time, but that doesn’t stop people working at Capcom from forcing him into literally every damn thing they can. With how far they’ve gone with it, I was honestly astounded they didn’t shove Chris into Revelations 2 like they did Revelations, RE6 and Marvel vs Capcom 3. And, more recently but after Rev 2, Vendetta and DLC for RE7.

Flat out, RE7 should’ve been a game like prior entries only starring Jill and Claire. Whatever happens next, that should still be the case, and it should happen before any kind of reboot is even remotely considered. They’ve spent long enough ignoring and screwing over the two of them, it’s long past time to make up for it.
