She ada on my wong until I super spy

[topwrite025]

I dont give a shit about how horrendously ada wong is written in the resident evil franchise she will forever be my favorite resident evil character. (That is not without saying that she is, in fact, HORRENDOUSLY written which i could write an essay about. Ada Wong isnt actually a love interest intended for Leon and his story, shes actually the personification of the destruction of Raccoon City and how the trauma constantly haunts Leon throughout his life, in this essay I will...)

Look at her.

My shayla.

I originally hated her (for reasons unbeknownst to even myself) until I found out that the entire fandom fucking HATES her just because she "manipulated" their sweet puppy baby Leon (a grown ass man btw). Now I have sworn to defend her valiantly against all the Leon dick riders because she is very special to me and I love her. If ada wong has zero fans I am DEAD

I also originally hated her 4 REmake version bc I didnt fw her voice actor but I was blind and ignorant I LOVE her in the 4 REmake. Her voice (as "bored" and "emotionless" as people say it is) is so pretty and fits her character so well especially in the context of her attitude toward Leon, Luis, and the situation at hand. You can tell it was her va's first role, but i actually think thats part of the charm bc she sounds so sweet and its such a different take on ada compared to her appearances in the originals. UGH I LUV HER

Aside from capcoms ability to nuke pretty much every female character they write, ada is a very compelling character. If you think about her OUTSIDE of the scope of tropes that capcom has sandwiched her into.

One of the main reasons im so attached to her is BECAUSE I want to separate her from the misogyny that surrounds her character bc I KNOW she's more than that. One of the reasons people dont LIKE her is bc to separate her from the misogynistic root of her character, they have to accept that she needs to be separated from Leon and the damaging implications of Aeon by proxy. (And aeon shippers are mean so god FORBID I say that out loud 😩)

NOBODY UNDERSTANDS HER LIKE I DO I COULD WRITE ESSAYS ABOUT HER I LOVE HER SO MUCH

ADA WONG YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME

I know it’s a throw away line but I like the idea that Leon actually plays Bingo weekly at some community center.

Like he will actively leave the hospital with his broken spine just to participate and maybe win whatever main prize they have this week. He has won a pastry every single Sunday for ten years straight and he will not miss a single game.

I come from a culture that has no nudity taboo - nudity is not considered inherently sexual, or somehow traumatising to witness. What that means in practice is that there is a clearly drawn line between sexual and non-sexual nudity. There is nothing wrong or inappropriate about nudity in a sexual context, and nothing wrong or inappropriate about nudity in a non-sexual context. However, it is 100% inappropriate to be nude in a situation where it is not obvious from context whether this is sexual or not.

I've seen random kids who briefly escaped from their parents bolt across a public park buck-ass naked after they were playing in the water fountain and their parents were in the middle of changing their kid from wet clothes to dry clothes when the small nudist escaped. Changing your small kid's clothes right there in public is ok because there is obviously nothing sexual about a child whose clothes got wet. But although people will have baby pictures of their kids in the bath or just running around the house like that because sometimes little apes hate clothes for some reason, it's considered common sense to not share those pictures on facebook mom groups and such, because you have no way of knowing who's seeing them, and that blurs the line of context.

It all boils down to the clearly defined context. Bathing nude in the same sauna with five of your co-workers at the office christmas party? Clearly nonsexual, therefore completely fine. Your friend-with-benefits inviting you to come over and opening the door in nothing but a doggy collar and the most porn-scented perfume? Clearly sexual, therefore completely fine. A woman checking her breasts for lumps in the gym lockers just before or after a shower? Clearly non-sexual, therefore completely fine.

But if you went to the bank today and there's some guy who walks in and immediately strips naked, doing his banking business wearing nothing but a deep smile and being clearly very content with this situation, you have no way of telling whether he's getting kicks out of this or not. There is no contextual reason for him to be nude. Therefore, that is inappropriate.

Then you go home and post on tumblr - as one does - going like "there was some dude completely fucking buck-ass naked in the bank today. That was fucking weird and I wish he had not done that." And someone immediately swoops into inform you that actually nudity is not inherently sexual or inappropriate, and there are cultures out there that have no nudity taboo. It's not fair to call somebody a freak for something like that, maybe that guy was just finnish.

Revelations Chris is very underrated

Male gamers will really just hate any male character who female fans tend to gravitate towards. Like I swear I’ve seen more Leon Kennedy and Astarion hate in the last few weeks than usual… and I can’t help but feel like it’s because RE is trending again.
