http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/10/resident_evil_creator_shinji_mikami_is_a_fan_of_strong_female_characters

Mikami:

I dont know if Ive put more emphasis on women characters, but when I do introduce them, it is never as objects. In some games, they will be peripheral characters with ridiculous breast physics. I avoid that sort of obvious eroticism. I also dont like female characters who are submissive to male characters, or to the situation theyre in. I wont portray women in that way. I write women characters who discover their interdependence as the game progresses, or who already know they are independent but have that tested against a series of challenges.

If I had to name the woman character I most disliked in my games it would be Rebecca Chambers. Shes submissive, shes not independent. I didnt want to include her but the staff wanted that kind of character in the game, for whatever reason. Im sure it made sense to them. And in Japan, that character is pretty popular.


I have to agree with him. Submissive women are fine but the hell did Jill and Rebecca make it into Delta Force?

If she was some chick you had to rescue along the way it'd make sense but can you imagine Rebecca dealing with anti-terrorist crime?

Japan loves their submissive women. Even some of the most powerful female characters still have to defer to men.

Almost all the world leaders, law makers and billionaires are male.

There's no one on Earth right now who doesn't defer to men no matter how powerful they are.

Capcom picked the backstories for Rebecca and Jill because it sounded cool. Just like how Nintendo picked bounty hunter as a profession for Samus Aran because it sounds cool.

Resident Evil does a good job of having strong and resourceful women while still presenting an overall intimidating environment for them to try and navigate their way through. I can see how the studio imposing a submissive girl who looks like a 14 year old Audrey Hepburn would be annoying.

When the creators of Lara Croft say that her figure came about because of a slip of the wrist, they're lying through their teeth. When the guy who consistently has kick-ass women in his games complains about the weakest link being forced on him, I take him at his word.

That's the thing about fiction: You can mold it into whatever you want, even if it doesn't align with real life.

But despite that, Japan still expects women strong enough to bench-press the planet to still be at a man's beck-and-call.

This isnt virtue signaling, this is actually a guy carefully thinking out characters in relation to their environments and designing them with care.

Woke creators today just do the bare minimum and have their token characters. Smh.

You don't toy with a character's breasts seconds before a live exhibition. Even if they were floating off of her chest, it would be inappropriate to be seen messing with them.

It's just a story to allow the "blame" to fall to a fictitious boardroom. Nobody has to say, "It was my idea."

it awakens their masculine instincts to love and protect them

Eh speak for yourself

Submissive women tend to be needy and clingy and I hate that.

Any relationship where you can't tell each other to fuck off is doomed.

Way off topic at this point, but they do actually explain this. STARS wasn't meant to be just a SWAT team equivalent, they were meant to balance police/military-trained personnel with specialists in various fields. Rebecca was a child prodigy with a degree in chemistry, Brad Vickers was a pilot and computer expert, Kenneth was a chemist, Jill was a master of unlocking.

You gotta keep in mind that they were meant to just be investigating in the mountains. If they knew some real shit would be going down, Rebecca would probably have stayed off-site.
