I don't like the obsessive Leon fans that want him to be the protag of every single game or diminish his character into 'hot twink baby girl'. Like there are so many characters in this franchise that deserve the spotlight but they continuously refuse to acknowledge any other character. I've even seen many of them make fake leaks of Leon being in RE9, like the man had one game where he was cool and has been in every animated movie but they still want more.
I hate the people who are just blindly in love with the remakes, like when you criticize a remake, even if it's 100% valid they'll rush to defend it as if you insulted their deity or something and they never give actual counterarguments.
Or if you just simply prefer the original games over the remakes and they'll response with "blinded by nostalgia" even though I never grew up with the older games, I played them not too long ago.
Can’t lie, I love shipping characters. It’s just fun and puts a different perspective on things, but some people get way too defensive and take it way too seriously 💀
@@IzzyandShadow For real, I’m a Wesker x Chris shipper 💀 I know it’s ridiculous and I know it’ll never happen, but it’s just a bit of fun, especially since Wesker obsesses over Chris. But, others are something else, especially Leon simps. They’ll take most things seriously 😭
@@IzzyandShadow While it is kinda a shame for Jill and Chris shippers that there is more NSFW fanart/fanfiction of Jill with zombies & B.O.W.s than there are of Jill and Chris. Me personally, I'm kinda a huge Dante (Devil May Cry) shipper with ANY crossover ship weather its with Bayonetta or Tsunade from Naruto or Black Widow because he is like the perfect escape fantasy character and the fantasy equivalent to a high profile man. But I do NOT ship him with Lady when he can do WAY better since Lady is the fantasy equivalent to the Modern American woman, someone who is not marriage material so guys become passport bros and go to a different country to find a girl like Dante going to a different series to find a girl. But I don't go out of my way of finding Dante X Lady content and throw a tantrum in the comment section of seeing my man settling for the bazooka hoe
@@Kikzkino bc me and my friend have an inside joke of wesker being gay for Chris.. only because of the fact that during re5 he wasn’t really into excella and he used her just to get to chris.
@@LaraCrvft He always targets Chris in every game as well. Putting his mission at jeopardy just to toy with him 😭 it’s also funny how he never kills him
7:24 I love Leon, but I constantly also make fun of the way they wrote him. Or more recently, how his brow never moves in the remake, making him Neanderthal Leon. 🤣🤣
You forgot the new game haters. Basically they are older people who make you feel bad for not playing the og games and for playing the remakes or anything to do with Winters family. They hate 7 and 8 and "remakes are not as good as the og" because they were the ones who got to play the original games and they are so special people because of that.
@@stoneonthefloor5582 I’d consider myself more of an OG fan RE3 nemesis will always be my favourite but it’s because I grew up with them they were a massive part of my childhood me and my dad would sit there for hours trying to figure of the puzzles and what to do next, but I can appreciate the new ones I really enjoyed 7 yeah it’s not my favourite RE but it’s a damn good game and the RE2 and 4 remakes are amazing
I grew up in 90s but i love the remakes. Actually im old enough that re4 came out when i was an adult. So to me, re4 remake fixed the cartoony feel of og re4 for me lol. Love re4 remake xD. Goty for that year for me actually
@@IzzyandShadow I would love to play the og games so that I could feel even some of that I wasn't able to experience but honestly I can't play even og 4 through because of the controls. In Code Veronica I can hardly take even one step 😭
Shipping is definitely bad i know some who aren't crazy I'm friends with someone who ships Chris and Piers and he's a very cool dude who thankful isn't crazy and knows it's just for fun
It’s also very split by era you’ve got the OG raccoon city group who are ride or die for 1,2,3 and code Veronica, those who love the more action based ones like 4,5, and 6 and then those who were introduced during the winters era and prefer 7 and 8 having grown up in the 90s I love the original 1,2,3 and Veronica I think people prefer the era they were introduced to RE tbh
Yes. Same for music and other prefrences. Same for favorite starwars movies. Whatever was around when u were like 15 is the one where nostalgia will hit hardest lol
I think the "biggest issues" are how the OG or new kid on the block refuse to listen to the other, see "outside" their little low IQ brain and they both smack talk to each other. You "have to d ride them" and if you don't? They will attack you and jump into conclusion. We can go back to RE2 Remake in it was the topic of the year. We have one group who want "fixed camera tank control" and want the gameplay to be the same but with modern graphics added in. Some of us were like,"What's the point of that then? I wouldn't waste my money buying the same game over and over. You're paying x amount of dollars for..what? Graphic change? We have a lot of those RE2 classic graphics update already". Of course some of the fanatic were like,"Oh! I bet you're first RE game was RE4!".
I was a kid when the first one came out. We had all 3 of the classics. I wasn't introduced to CV until a couple of years ago on my PS3. I played 4 when it came out and loved it. I also nabbed the RE1 remake for the GC. I never minded the action half of the series. It turned it into a rescue series. The first 3 were all about survival, while CV is a direct assault with survival elements. 4 bridged the gap between action and horror. The story is just cheesy fun. So, I naturally love 5, 6, 7, and 8. I never met an RE game I don't like. Even Survivor was super fun for me with the dorky voice acting and the action oriented style of play. I just love mowing down monsters, to be honest.
@@gamervet4760 yeah it's definitely not an "age" divide, espeically for the first few games because those of us gaming back then were a small minority. Most of my friends didn't even hear of resident evil. Most people in my school didn't play it or know it existed. Gaming wasn't like it is now. It was big, but it was also mostly considered for "nerds" then. If you ask your average person who is 35+ what their favorite resident evil is - they will probably ask you wtf you're talking about lol.
@RahzZalinto Uh, I had friends who played Doom, Duke Nukem, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, Street Fighter, just to name a few. We had many discussions on the playground about our favorite things about the games. We would also play Mortal Kombat via shadow boxing. I don't know what kind of a place you grew up in, but I come from the country, and the kids got games to be shut up and happy.
@@magita1991 I mean yeah he does but it’s just the way that people like perceive him you know he is a great character. I won’t lie but the simps are just too much
I hate when older Resi fans call new comers "fake fans", I started the franchise on Ps1, but I don't think just because I had the opportunity to play RE games sooner, I am superior to other fans.
I remember when i used to browse GameFAQS, every RE topic i read would almost always devolve into a pre-RE4/post-RE4 argument, regardless of the topic. It was great, lmao
I agree w/ the last topic fully. Resident Evil is supposed to be horror-cored, so love& romance duzn't/shouldn't rly fit. Just like the movies, the best horror is where everyone dies, nobody wins, and there's heartbreak. So Leon&Ada never hooking up is the best thing becuz BOTH of them are rly more in love w/ their jobs/duties. Also, i'm the type of open RE fan: I started w/ the 1st 3, then got hooked on 4 (my favorite), and even play 5&6 for their unique qualities sometimes. I haven't even played to new-gen console games, but i feel like i have w/ all the footy & vids like this i've watched 😏 So i'm like an OG Semi-Casual RE fan. I love the stupid movies & everything, gimme all of it.
I agree with all of your points about this, and I see it, too. Even though I may be a huge Ethan Winters fan and dress like him at times, but I don't get too obsessed with the whole thing. I used to be obsessed with characters a lot, but outgrew that. Now, I'm more of an adult now dealing with responsibilities rather than be obsessed with characters to the point I become them. And with characters, I love the characters as they are aside from the ships. I don't go crazy over ships like these people do. I mean, I used to be like that as a teenager, and most of my 20s, but not anymore. And personally, I'm in the middle of old school and new school Resident Evil. I don't mind either thing. And like you, I just want to enjoy Resident Evil because it's something I love. Even make great music videos and trailer styles with them. I also enjoy playing the games and watching cinematic game movies of Resident Evil with the cgi movies and miniseries. That's all I do. And I apologize if I ever got on the wrong foot in your Ethan Winters video at the time. I hope we can still be great friends despite that.
To be fair Ethan dresses quite casually I feel like nothing about his outfits really stand out to say oh yeah that’s Ethan unlike with Leon with the jacket from 4, Jill’s outfit from 3 or Claire from 2 they’re very distinctive outfits
@IzzyandShadow Ethan's outfits are my favourite aside from the main cast's outfits. I appreciate all outfits. And I enjoy Ethan Winters as a character and I appreciate him being a part of the franchise.
At least you don't have to worry about the type of Resident Evil fans who try to dunk on other series when they talk about crossover fights like saying Leon would kick John Wick's ass or Jill would kill Lara Croft and Chun Li in one punch. It is one of the reasons why certain fandoms like Dragon Ball, One Punch Man & God of War have become toxic because of how the contexts within the narratives are set up to making freakin Goku, Saitama & Kratos fans think they would beat ANY character in a fight, Superman, Thanos, Thor, Doctor Strange, Darkseid. It just tells you how little they know about other series.
One bad type of resident evil fans are definitely the kinds of fans who just hate on remakes for no reason just to prop up the originals, I enjoyed both the original RE4 and the RE4 remake but you got people like crowbcat who slandered the RE4 remake just to make the OG look better in comparison and then you got other people who make unjustified claims towards RE4 remake for the way it wrote the characters for example with how everyone praises the original RE4 Leon to death but accuse the remake RE4 Leon of basically disrespecting the original by being edgy when they made it very clear that he is that way because of his raccoon city trauma which people agree understandably makes him feel more like a real person with everyday struggles that the fans can relate to The way Ashley, Luis and Ada are written as people understandably agree made them way better and more compelling and important to the story when looking back at the OG they felt off, especially Ashley of all people and Luis who had way less screentime compared to the remake, The way the characters are written feel more like real human beings which im stories naturally allow people to get attached to them and create memorable emotional stories that are able to be more than just comedy like the original RE4 is People can have their preferences but Its basically the types of people who praise the originals too much and trash on any remake or adaptation that comes out for no justifiable reason because no matter what an adaptation or remake does in their eyes it wil never live up to the original
Yeah...the only REAL problem I have with the 4 Remake that i think the original did better is the ambiance, other than that the remake is on par and even better in most aspects!
And another thing I noticed in the fandom which bothers me as well as much as what you mentioned which are people who sexualize and oversexualize the characters to the point it's repulsive and disgusting.
I never got shipping. What joy does one get from shipping fictional characters? And RE characters at that? Hands down some of the least interesting people in video games.
It’s sad Resident Evil Fandom used to be apart of what I consider “The Big 4 of Fandoms” it was just 4 collective fan bases that were all pretty non-toxic, stuck together, and they seemed like a little council then it became 3 over the years since I think the RE one became more toxic the fandoms I’m referring to is Metal Gear Solid, Devil May Cry, and Yakuza/Like a Dragon
Yeah, that makes sense. I’m actually learning the lore thing already and I’m at re4 and if I play any re Survivors in dead by daylight then I have to play their game I can’t just played the remake I also have to play the PS one version too which I don’t have so yeah….
random but 8:43 is straight up murder lol. Every time I see this, I'm like... do we know for sure...at this point in the game...that this lady is even hostile? Maybe a servant, or prisoner, who knows lol.
I mean they got a dude burning in the center of town and she's there tending a chicken or whatever not doing anything to stop that she definitely isn't a good person
I’ve always said it, unless you do a copy and paste movie/ tv show you will never make these “hardcore” RE fans happy. I really like RE because of how far and different this franchise can be taken. The only time I have ever freaked out in relation to this subject was the tv shows weaker, only because I saw Blade. lol
The worst group in my opinion, are the nostalgia blinders who literally shame you for liking newer games It's ok if you prefer the older games but insulting people for having a different opinion is never ok
1. Claire Redfield fans 2. Claire Redfield and Leon shippers 3. Chris Redfield fans 4. Chris and Jill shippers 5. People who play without deadly headshots mod
@@sora-gy5rp it's like you can't escape that stupid line. It gets really annoying when people keep bringing up the Redfield bloodline thing. It makes me think these people are stupid.
There’s one type of fan you forgot to mention that was birthed in the past 2 years. “the RE fans that get upset when RE announcements don’t happen and acting disrespectful to all Capcom fans”. What I mean by that is when the 2022 Capcom countdown turned out to be the announcement of Street Fighter 6 which I was so happy as I’m a fighting fan game, 50% of the comments where RE fans complaining that it wasn’t RE4 Remake at the time which by then RE fans have gotten so many new games that they didn’t realize or understood why SF games were happy given that it was several years after SF5 came out and the decade plus of Capcom fighting games struggling and not doing well in terms of decisions that result in those games not being received well. And now Capcom fighting game fans like me are in heaven now that almost every Capcom fighting game series is finally returning in many years with the recent collections like the MvC Collection and Capcom fighting collection 2 which for us fans is a dream come true but also a goal to have these series finally get new installments. But one of the things that got me angry is when RE fans were telling me and other Capcom fans that “we don’t deserve new games in those series because they don’t sell well”. And that Capcom showcase from June 2024 where RE9 was confirmed was the moment where every single Capcom fanbase finally realize how Capcom is relying too much on Resident evil and not enough on other series. I understand that RE is the most popular Capcom franchise but it’s frustrating how disrespectful the RE fans can be when they are getting too many RE fans and complaining when other Capcom games are getting the spotlight
I was so disappointed with the female fans of this community for not standing up against the hate and harassment towards Lily Gao but instead they were rewarding the bridal haters towards her the likes of Sphere hunter and Melonie mac especially both acted unprofessional. I was expecting this community to be better but I was disappointed no hate was warranted and justified I was disgraceful.
Idk about Sphere hunter or Meloni Mac but I did see some of the comments on Lily's IG and they were quite derogatory and mean....No one should be subjected to that for one bad performance (yes i think the performance as Ada by Lily was not up to the mark but thats it! Im not gonna talk about her race or looks because she was the voice of a VIDEO GAME CHARACTER!? what is up with people these days!)
Resident Evil doesn't have fans, it has consumers. RE9 could be about an alien invasion and you play as Ethan's daughter using her Mold powers to turn into Venom and go blow up the Death Star and it will still sell 15 million copies. Resident Evil is now a brand.
My list of things I don't like about this community might be long but here goes 1. Fans who only played the og trilogy and shit all new games 2. People who refuse to play spin offs because they don't have a number even though majority are canon 3. Wesker fanboys and fans boys who can't accept he's dead 4. Aeon Ada x Leon shippers 5. Valenfield Jill x Chris shippers most toxic people I've ever ran into 6. Chris and piers shippers 7. Shippers who random talk shit to you or message you because they don't agree with your ship with nothing constructive to add. Lol why is what I do for fun only your concern . Some hypocrite in this comment did this to me just goes to show how bad it is with shippers. 8. People who can't separate shipping from canon of games I play to fight zombies and monsters with favorite characters . I don't care about shipping when I'm playing. 9. Claire and Leon shippers 10. People who only played the remakes and call people who played the og games or games til current boomers. Because they only got into series with remakes or were never intrested til remakes. 11. People who can't understand that remakes aren't better than og and visa versa no game is perfect they both do things better than others 12. People who are unwilling to learn the series lore and play the games for various reasons but expect to you know lore and played games of their favorite series. People who get mad at you for knowing lore that goes against their head canon (yes they exist) at most I prefer people to learn lore so we can play together better because most people don't like lore dumps and reading files 13. I hate using this term but bandwagon fans .People who hate on you or others for the games you like because others do so. Majority is from word of mouth from other players and fans or they've never played games before and have negative opinions and think every should think the same. 14. Leon fanboys and people who call him twink are cringe 15.Chris fanboys and people who say they love Chris but only devolves him to boulder punch and roids.. 16. Ada fanboys and fangirls toxic people who thinks she perfect and think their headcanon about her is always right to the point of arguments. They think she can beat everyone in the series like the legit strongests characters in series ( example Wesker,Chris Leon and Jill even Miranda...) 17. People who can't comprehend you can hate games in the series but still play and enjoy them. But still overall dislike them. But I digress I've played the series since the beginning and like the series as whole. I believe every game has something to offer even I don't like it . Every game is someone's favorite. Mine are 2,4,6. Though I played majority of the series ,most played games are 1, 2,4,5,6,8 & spinoffs . I enjoy talking about games and lore with people. Don't care if you hadn't played them all. Unrealistic to expect with tech limitations. I enjoy shipping on the side for fun,While talking about it with people as long as we're respectful. That's kind of fan I am and I ain't perfect just like RE shrugs.
Fans who believe that CV is actually RE 3. Fans may view RE 4 as the most successful game without fully recognizing the negatives and argue that it "rescued the series" from obscurity. Fans believe that RE 3 Remake removed content that was present in RE 2 Remake, such as a cemetery, raining scenes, and a clock tower. Fans believe that Resident Evil 5 and 6 are subpar due to their excessive action, even though Resident Evil 4 had a similar level of action. While RE 4 had a "spooky" horror aspect, it also lacked the survival horror elements present in earlier games as I said. Fans who dislike fixed camera and first-person shooter games but appreciate third-person shooter games exclusively.
@@White927 Overall I agree but differ on some points. CV and re3 is convoluted because even creators can't agree on what was what involving them going by interviews. CV started as spin off was going to be mainline but stayed spinoff and re3 was always mainline just changed. It did RE wasn't a household name til re4 it was super niche. It brought tps to current date. I agree did bring a lot negatives just like COD in mid 2000's. I don't know if I'd say obscurity.. but did save franchise. Devs were in fatigue of making same game over and over and leaving if they didn't make re4 RE would've been dead. That's from their own mouths. Completely agree as survival horror is a fan made term . Capcom never used it until years for marketing when they saw it was profitable. Most fans are hypocrites re1 til current you start off horror then guns a blazing half way. They all have vague fallacies on what survival horror is, even when has those elements like you said they'll deny it. Those are some of the worst people to deal camera nostalgia or can only be this way. I prefer tps but play fps and tps ,fixed camera constantly. Why not have more options. RE spinoffs and re7 ,8 prove fps works, 1-3 CV provef fixed camera works ,re4, 5,6 rev1-2 and remakes prove tps works. Nothing wrong with options RE has always experimented with gameplay.
I once stated that I wasn’t a fan of Ada or Aeon and I was stalked and harassed by multiple different people for MONTHS. One person said I was racist for not liking Ada and this other person would talk so much crap about me to random people saying I was bringing down other women??? Needless to say I distanced myself from the fandom after that
Alright so I had an ex friend that was obsessed with Leon Kennedy to the point he faked having an alter of Leon, It disgusted me to the point I stopped being his friend. He did the same thing with creepy pasta characters.
These conversations are the ones you intentionally say everything wrong. What game has the best camera perspective? Survivor. Who's the best character? Joseph simply because he died before I heard his opinion. Best weapon? Kickable doors. Well what's the best Resident Evil setting? The streets of 3 remake.
See I'm kinda the opposite, when 4, 5 and 6 came out. I just stopped playing them AND talking about them lol. I do own a hard copy disc of RE4 but i never played it for more than liek 20 minutes lol. If not for the remakes, I probably would still to this day have no idea what happens in Re4. I did play 5 and 6 but that was only for the multiplayer aspect with my signifciant other. I don't care what other people like - but I was a little disappointed that my survival horror genre just kinda disappeared for almost a decade...and did what every game at the time was doing, military simulation/action. To make matters worse, I'm a US Army Ranger IRL at the time and just rolling my eyes with cringe lol. Anyway, that tangent aside, RE4 remake managed to bring a level of seriousness and horror and meld it almost perfectly with the action IMHO. Masterpiece if you ask me lol. Hope they can do the same with 5 and 6.
Yeah, there are some fans and this can be any type of fandom. There are some fan that seem to forget that Resident Evil is just a video game. It's a fictional story, taking place in a fictional universe, with fictional characters. The keyword is here is, Fictional. There's a difference between being a die hard fan, and a nutcase.
I would probably lump the “character fanatics” and the extreme “shippers” into one group. Though I can see how you might prefer to give them each their own spot. With that extra spot open, I would probably have my fifth group be something like “Capcom’s Corporate Cultists”. By that term, I would refer to the subset of fans that will automatically side with any business decision Capcom makes, no matter how blatantly lazy, anti-customer, etc. it is. Also, they seem to judge how much of a "true fan" someone is, based on how much one is committed to mindlessly shelling out money for Capcom and acting like they are automatically owed customers' money. For example, they will try to paint pay-to-win micro-transactions as a good thing in RE4 Remake (when such options in singleplayer games used to be implemented as free cheat codes, etc.) and apparently even in the recent RE multiplayer spinoffs. Or they might try to use Ad Hominem attacks to shut down any criticisms, regarding how the RE2+RE3 Remakes are unfinished in certain areas and/or leave out major pieces of content/replay-value with no adequate replacements. If one still enjoys those remakes in spite of the cuts and/or did not mind those specific pieces of content being left out, that’s fine, but they shouldn’t act like others don’t have a legitimate reason to feel short-changed by Capcom.
I don't agree with the cosplay part in Number 3, it could be a fun hobby for some and as long as thats all there is to it I dont see anything wrong with wanting to cosplay their favourite RE character

And one thing I can't stand in the Resident Evil fandom is the teenagers and 20 year olds because they absolutely know nothing about the franchise and their brains haven't developed into adult brains yet. They think they live in a fantasy world. As for shippers, I don't have problems with it, as long as it's not their whole life blood or take it very seriously. I love how you mentioned that Ada is your favourite outside of the ship. People need to love characters outside of their ship. The ship doesn't define the characters, the characters define themselves. That's the same with people who love franchises, people shouldn't take it too seriously because it's all fictional and a bunch of pixels. These franchises aren't real and neither are the characters real. They should go touch grass. And some people who claim to be fans of characters don't really understand the characters well, which I hate. And people should realize that these characters and franchises are here for our entertainment and to enjoy, these things aren't meant to be taken seriously. And you are right, we should have normal and healthy conversations and discussions about these things. Like for example, one day, I would like to have a normal and healthy discussion about Resident Evil and the Ethan Winters character, especially the Ethan Winters character that you've might not have known about that I noticed and how he links to and are similar to a couple of franchises I know about, which make him interesting.
And another thing is I actually avoid most Resident Evil fans because of these reasons and just enjoy it by myself and enjoy it with the people I love. That's it. I don't get involved in fandoms.
Honestly, I hate most of the old games due to the limitations they brought. The only “old” RE game I think I can actually appreciate is RE5, due to it being a superior OG RE4 in terms of gameplay, RE6 and RE Rev 2 are some of my favorite games in the series, as well as every single remake. I’ve never had issues with anyone having a different view than I am about these games, shipping and knowing lore is something I like doing with people in my family who are also massive RE fans, it’s fun, hilarious & absolutely a blast lmao. Attacking anyone in any fandom should just stop, it’s beyond annoying, they should just grow up already.
Nice video. For me the perspective freaks are the worst, like people who think that if the game doesn't have fixed camera angles then it's not a resident evil game. Like, get a life and try to enjoy the game. Also old schoolers, if these guys were in charge they would push out the same game every time and re would get stale and we would not get re games right now, the series would have been dead long ago. One more type of fans you didn't mention and annoy me are the Stalker/No Stalker fans, the ones who like the Stalker enemy and the others that having a Stalker in the game that is not scripted(ie re3r) it ruins the whole game for them and think it's a gimmick.
If I a game has a stalker cool if not cool. I don’t mind whatever perspective it is I will try it. Like 7 and 8. Not a big fan of first person but ended up liking it
One question, is Revelations 1 worth playing? I have Revelations 2 and im halfway through the game, is it worth buying the first Revelations? It looks scary af
I've been in a resident evil group on fb for like 2 years even the group I'm in is rather civil for a fb group but God damn there is alot of some of these categories 😂 I love the firearm aspect of resident evil its pretty much 90% of the reason I chose a beretta 92fs as my first carry pistol when I turned 21 and cus of my autism after years of being told I have a unique shooting stance I realized after 20 years of playing re1 I have 100% copied Jill's shooting stance and never noticed until 2 years ago when I was playing resident evil 1 remake 😂😆
I think a lot of this just boils down to ppl who take the franchise too seriously. You dont need to make a big deal about every little inaccuracy, these aren’t real people or organizations that would dish real consequences if you get something wrong. preferring one style/era of games is fine, but if you dont like it, then… don’t? (i personally am just used to the over the shoulder and when the third person option was available for re8 i was super excited, but i don’t hate first person (im a huge dbd fan so its ironic i prefer the third person aspect lol)) I have plenty of ships that i enjoy and repost content of, and there are plenty of ships i do not understand/enjoy. but honestly? (And this was my biggest gripe with revelations, and by ‘this’ i mean JESSICA) idk about yall but i cant just casually bring up my gf or talk about being in love when im trying to not have my fleshed ripped off. i dont care much for there being “canon” relationships when it’s not the main focus. as much as i enjoy ships, relationships make things muddy. i dont need leon to grab ada’s shoulder right before she grapples away and say “ada… i love you.” just so everyone knows theyre “canonically” together or for jill to kiss claire when they enter the same room- i gotta know what im about to kill and how tf ive gotta kill it
Oh my GODDDDD not you again girl (I hate you for hating on my fav Ethan Winters 😭😭😭) and why tf do you think Shippers is the worst kind of Fans in RE Community bsffr DON'T mess with me, my friends and everyone who are SHIPPERS
Nightcrawler 1234 He is pretty much the worst of the Is resident evil Fandom He's pretty much like young defiant and critical drinker Am I personal opinion I've encountered people like him and the resident evil fandom and they're the worst
They pretty much hate all the new stuff.They presented as fact and they're entitled to their opinions.But when they try to push them on everyone else and then if you do like something you get cramped on for it.That's where I have the biggest amount of problems The one Basically are so toxic They can never be wrong or respect.Anyone else's opinions they Make fun People just because they can and just to Get the rocks off. I've encountered people in the resident evil Community like that and it always pisses me off.How condescending narcissistic or Downright Toxic they are Cause if anything they just act like children and It shows I love this video It's truthful because there's a lot of people that do that specially in this community and It really sucks
He didn’t even say how the RE2 remake is lazy he made a comment about my opinion the RE2 remake compared to the RE3 remake. And he just said it’s it’s a disgrace from the original and it’s very lazy doesn’t even say how it is?
Yeah, I experienced that one person said that the RE2 remake is very lazy and I’m like are you sure about that? And he thinks that the original RE2 is better than the remake and I defended the remake because it’s not a lazy game like really? How the hell is the RE2 remake lazy? I told him the positives and a little bit of the negatives of the game and he had no arguments against it because he has no facts and logic.
I’ve played like maybe an hour and Shad of resident evil remake don’t have to time at the moment but I have the first four on steam. The steam community page is some of the most horrendous things I’ve ever seen
I grew up with the original re games 1,2,3 original, the side games as well. Plus re4, re5, re6 all great games, my personal favorite is re3 original and re6, my favorite re character is jill valentine, now when it comes to the re7 and 8 , for me its not a re game it doesn't fit, now the games are good but not for the re franchise, abd here comes the remakes re2 , re3 re4, well for me good games but when to compare the original to remake they miss the mark had so much potential but it is what it is. Thnak you for a great video, i agree with what you are saying 100% ,
3 is my favourite too I remember playing it in 99 when I was like 6 and getting my dad to get me past nemesis in the police station because I was scared 😂
I never got to play the OG games I do have RE1R RE0 and the Remaster of RE1R and RE0 but from what I've seen from playthroughs of the OG 1 2 and 3 the remakes are actually Reimaginings not remakes imo if you look how Loyal the RE1R is to the OG 1996 RE1R is it's a loyal remake but The newer Remakes aren't they are definitely good game sorry for the rambling
The Resident Evil fans I dislike are the ones who hate on remake Jill. She is literally the most human and realistic Jill Valentine the franchise has ever gotten, and her voice actress Nicole Tompkins did an amazing job. Jill is very well written in the remakes, not only do they explore on Jill’s trauma from Resident Evil 1, but they also show changes of her character through her personality. She’s more careful about trusting other people ever since she was betrayed by Barry Burton and Albert Wesker, she’s also more tough in the outside so she won’t show any weaknesses to her enemies, but she still has her compassion for others. To me, the fans that hate remake Jill are a bunch of sexists who see females as motherly side characters while male characters like Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield have to be badasses and get all the attention and hype from the fanboys. Let’s not forget Jill and Chris were the first main protagonists of this franchise, let’s not disrespect the first characters in Resident Evil please.
I actually made a video last year talking about how I believe Jill is the most over criticized character in Resident Evil. th-cam.com/video/81QuIsPWv0Y/w-d-xo.html
Ewwww not you shipping Leon & Ada 🤢🤮 this ship made me very uncomfortable so... Lethan is 100% better than Aeon (You should cry over me shipping Leon & Ethan If you want idgaf)
RE fans whom I encountered some issues with are mostly from Facebook (LOL) and it's about my critical thoughts with Ada's new VA for RE4R, my adoration for Milla's RE films, and my love for RE6 -- most of the people who seem to be closed minded are those who grew up with classic RE (not saying ALL of them are like this) but yeah, some of these fans are so toxic. I am however, so grateful for people like you for having an open mind and are very fun to engage with 🫶🏻❣️
I think I'm a lore whore. 😂 Naaa. There's nothing wrong with not knowing every little detail of the games. What does bother me though, are people who've played one or two RE games, claim to be hardcore RE fans and stuburnly try to sell me fiction as facts. 🫤
I don't like the obsessive Leon fans that want him to be the protag of every single game or diminish his character into 'hot twink baby girl'. Like there are so many characters in this franchise that deserve the spotlight but they continuously refuse to acknowledge any other character. I've even seen many of them make fake leaks of Leon being in RE9, like the man had one game where he was cool and has been in every animated movie but they still want more.
Fr, I love Leon more than anything but he had his time to shine
Cannot disagree
Half of these people have never played a previous re game and got into the franchise because of re4r leon tiktok edits
@@literalidiot4180 I not one of those people to hate new fans but when it's *these* fans, like, I can understand
@@raidenstark4964That's why I love Ethan's Character
I'm glad Biohazard had a whole new protagonist
I hate the people who are just blindly in love with the remakes, like when you criticize a remake, even if it's 100% valid they'll rush to defend it as if you insulted their deity or something and they never give actual counterarguments.
This argument but when you play the remakes over the original fixed camera games
Or if you just simply prefer the original games over the remakes and they'll response with "blinded by nostalgia" even though I never grew up with the older games, I played them not too long ago.
Can’t lie, I love shipping characters. It’s just fun and puts a different perspective on things, but some people get way too defensive and take it way too seriously 💀
Same I will forever ship Chris and Jill but if people don’t agree cool makes no difference to me
@@IzzyandShadow For real, I’m a Wesker x Chris shipper 💀 I know it’s ridiculous and I know it’ll never happen, but it’s just a bit of fun, especially since Wesker obsesses over Chris. But, others are something else, especially Leon simps. They’ll take most things seriously 😭
@@IzzyandShadow While it is kinda a shame for Jill and Chris shippers that there is more NSFW fanart/fanfiction of Jill with zombies & B.O.W.s than there are of Jill and Chris. Me personally, I'm kinda a huge Dante (Devil May Cry) shipper with ANY crossover ship weather its with Bayonetta or Tsunade from Naruto or Black Widow because he is like the perfect escape fantasy character and the fantasy equivalent to a high profile man. But I do NOT ship him with Lady when he can do WAY better since Lady is the fantasy equivalent to the Modern American woman, someone who is not marriage material so guys become passport bros and go to a different country to find a girl like Dante going to a different series to find a girl. But I don't go out of my way of finding Dante X Lady content and throw a tantrum in the comment section of seeing my man settling for the bazooka hoe
@@Kikzkino bc me and my friend have an inside joke of wesker being gay for Chris.. only because of the fact that during re5 he wasn’t really into excella and he used her just to get to chris.
@@LaraCrvft He always targets Chris in every game as well. Putting his mission at jeopardy just to toy with him 😭 it’s also funny how he never kills him
7:24 I love Leon, but I constantly also make fun of the way they wrote him. Or more recently, how his brow never moves in the remake, making him Neanderthal Leon. 🤣🤣
I have no problem with people cosplaying the character but to dismiss others that don’t like that character is not cool
Oh I don't mean cosplaying. I mean literally turn into that character physically and mentally for the rest of their everyday life.
@@erzatitaniawins ohh ok I misunderstood that point then. I agree making it your whole personality isn’t healthy or a good idea .
You forgot the new game haters. Basically they are older people who make you feel bad for not playing the og games and for playing the remakes or anything to do with Winters family. They hate 7 and 8 and "remakes are not as good as the og" because they were the ones who got to play the original games and they are so special people because of that.
@@stoneonthefloor5582 I’d consider myself more of an OG fan RE3 nemesis will always be my favourite but it’s because I grew up with them they were a massive part of my childhood me and my dad would sit there for hours trying to figure of the puzzles and what to do next, but I can appreciate the new ones I really enjoyed 7 yeah it’s not my favourite RE but it’s a damn good game and the RE2 and 4 remakes are amazing
I grew up in 90s but i love the remakes. Actually im old enough that re4 came out when i was an adult. So to me, re4 remake fixed the cartoony feel of og re4 for me lol. Love re4 remake xD. Goty for that year for me actually
@@IzzyandShadow I would love to play the og games so that I could feel even some of that I wasn't able to experience but honestly I can't play even og 4 through because of the controls. In Code Veronica I can hardly take even one step 😭

Shipping is definitely bad i know some who aren't crazy I'm friends with someone who ships Chris and Piers and he's a very cool dude who thankful isn't crazy and knows it's just for fun
It’s also very split by era you’ve got the OG raccoon city group who are ride or die for 1,2,3 and code Veronica, those who love the more action based ones like 4,5, and 6 and then those who were introduced during the winters era and prefer 7 and 8 having grown up in the 90s I love the original 1,2,3 and Veronica I think people prefer the era they were introduced to RE tbh
Yes. Same for music and other prefrences. Same for favorite starwars movies. Whatever was around when u were like 15 is the one where nostalgia will hit hardest lol
I think the "biggest issues" are how the OG or new kid on the block refuse to listen to the other, see "outside" their little low IQ brain and they both smack talk to each other. You "have to d ride them" and if you don't? They will attack you and jump into conclusion.
We can go back to RE2 Remake in it was the topic of the year. We have one group who want "fixed camera tank control" and want the gameplay to be the same but with modern graphics added in. Some of us were like,"What's the point of that then? I wouldn't waste my money buying the same game over and over. You're paying x amount of dollars for..what? Graphic change? We have a lot of those RE2 classic graphics update already". Of course some of the fanatic were like,"Oh! I bet you're first RE game was RE4!".
I was a kid when the first one came out. We had all 3 of the classics. I wasn't introduced to CV until a couple of years ago on my PS3. I played 4 when it came out and loved it. I also nabbed the RE1 remake for the GC. I never minded the action half of the series. It turned it into a rescue series. The first 3 were all about survival, while CV is a direct assault with survival elements. 4 bridged the gap between action and horror. The story is just cheesy fun. So, I naturally love 5, 6, 7, and 8. I never met an RE game I don't like. Even Survivor was super fun for me with the dorky voice acting and the action oriented style of play. I just love mowing down monsters, to be honest.
@@gamervet4760 yeah it's definitely not an "age" divide, espeically for the first few games because those of us gaming back then were a small minority. Most of my friends didn't even hear of resident evil. Most people in my school didn't play it or know it existed. Gaming wasn't like it is now. It was big, but it was also mostly considered for "nerds" then. If you ask your average person who is 35+ what their favorite resident evil is - they will probably ask you wtf you're talking about lol.
@RahzZalinto Uh, I had friends who played Doom, Duke Nukem, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, Street Fighter, just to name a few. We had many discussions on the playground about our favorite things about the games. We would also play Mortal Kombat via shadow boxing. I don't know what kind of a place you grew up in, but I come from the country, and the kids got games to be shut up and happy.
Please tell I am the only healthy fan back who doesn’t simp for Leon or ship
I wouldn’t say i simp for Leon is a great character but other characters deserve to shine
@@magita1991 I mean yeah he does but it’s just the way that people like perceive him you know he is a great character. I won’t lie but the simps are just too much

I'm fully hetero but Leon is the template and he deserves the succ
I hate when older Resi fans call new comers "fake fans", I started the franchise on Ps1, but I don't think just because I had the opportunity to play RE games sooner, I am superior to other fans.
I love you 😮
i see a bit of me in all of them but not to the point i start a war
people like that need to seek therapy
Shipping is fun for me but getting so over dramatic because I'm shipping something you don't like it's just why? 💀
I remember when i used to browse GameFAQS, every RE topic i read would almost always devolve into a pre-RE4/post-RE4 argument, regardless of the topic. It was great, lmao
W uncle your nephew needed to experience the delago jump scare 😂.
I agree w/ the last topic fully. Resident Evil is supposed to be horror-cored, so love& romance duzn't/shouldn't rly fit. Just like the movies, the best horror is where everyone dies, nobody wins, and there's heartbreak. So Leon&Ada never hooking up is the best thing becuz BOTH of them are rly more in love w/ their jobs/duties.
Also, i'm the type of open RE fan: I started w/ the 1st 3, then got hooked on 4 (my favorite), and even play 5&6 for their unique qualities sometimes. I haven't even played to new-gen console games, but i feel like i have w/ all the footy & vids like this i've watched 😏 So i'm like an OG Semi-Casual RE fan. I love the stupid movies & everything, gimme all of it.
I agree with all of your points about this, and I see it, too. Even though I may be a huge Ethan Winters fan and dress like him at times, but I don't get too obsessed with the whole thing. I used to be obsessed with characters a lot, but outgrew that. Now, I'm more of an adult now dealing with responsibilities rather than be obsessed with characters to the point I become them. And with characters, I love the characters as they are aside from the ships. I don't go crazy over ships like these people do. I mean, I used to be like that as a teenager, and most of my 20s, but not anymore. And personally, I'm in the middle of old school and new school Resident Evil. I don't mind either thing. And like you, I just want to enjoy Resident Evil because it's something I love. Even make great music videos and trailer styles with them. I also enjoy playing the games and watching cinematic game movies of Resident Evil with the cgi movies and miniseries. That's all I do. And I apologize if I ever got on the wrong foot in your Ethan Winters video at the time. I hope we can still be great friends despite that.
To be fair Ethan dresses quite casually I feel like nothing about his outfits really stand out to say oh yeah that’s Ethan unlike with Leon with the jacket from 4, Jill’s outfit from 3 or Claire from 2 they’re very distinctive outfits
@IzzyandShadow Ethan's outfits are my favourite aside from the main cast's outfits. I appreciate all outfits. And I enjoy Ethan Winters as a character and I appreciate him being a part of the franchise.
I like your profile picture
@3dstv786 mine? Thank you so much. Tifa Lockhart is one of my favourite characters in Final Fantasy VII.
I like her too even though Aerith is my dream girl I do find Tifa pretty hot
I am apparently blissfully unaware of some really weird conversations happening around RE. 😅
i hate the fans who dont appreciate re6, its so good
At least you don't have to worry about the type of Resident Evil fans who try to dunk on other series when they talk about crossover fights like saying Leon would kick John Wick's ass or Jill would kill Lara Croft and Chun Li in one punch. It is one of the reasons why certain fandoms like Dragon Ball, One Punch Man & God of War have become toxic because of how the contexts within the narratives are set up to making freakin Goku, Saitama & Kratos fans think they would beat ANY character in a fight, Superman, Thanos, Thor, Doctor Strange, Darkseid. It just tells you how little they know about other series.
Why did I imagine Jill OHKO Lara croft in street fighter style hyper movements 😭😭😭
One bad type of resident evil fans are definitely the kinds of fans who just hate on remakes for no reason just to prop up the originals, I enjoyed both the original RE4 and the RE4 remake but you got people like crowbcat who slandered the RE4 remake just to make the OG look better in comparison and then you got other people who make unjustified claims towards RE4 remake for the way it wrote the characters for example with how everyone praises the original RE4 Leon to death but accuse the remake RE4 Leon of basically disrespecting the original by being edgy when they made it very clear that he is that way because of his raccoon city trauma which people agree understandably makes him feel more like a real person with everyday struggles that the fans can relate to
The way Ashley, Luis and Ada are written as people understandably agree made them way better and more compelling and important to the story when looking back at the OG they felt off, especially Ashley of all people and Luis who had way less screentime compared to the remake, The way the characters are written feel more like real human beings which im stories naturally allow people to get attached to them and create memorable emotional stories that are able to be more than just comedy like the original RE4 is
People can have their preferences but Its basically the types of people who praise the originals too much and trash on any remake or adaptation that comes out for no justifiable reason because no matter what an adaptation or remake does in their eyes it wil never live up to the original
I like the darker tone, it makes all the new games feel like a consistent and connected world rather than an anthology series
I think only Re1 and Re4 remakes were actually better then the OG
Re2 remake and Re3 remake cut a LOT of content
Yeah...the only REAL problem I have with the 4 Remake that i think the original did better is the ambiance, other than that the remake is on par and even better in most aspects!
The amount of ammo you can carry is just ridiculous especially the street sweeper 😂😂😂😂😂
And another thing I noticed in the fandom which bothers me as well as much as what you mentioned which are people who sexualize and oversexualize the characters to the point it's repulsive and disgusting.
I never got shipping. What joy does one get from shipping fictional characters? And RE characters at that? Hands down some of the least interesting people in video games.
It’s sad Resident Evil Fandom used to be apart of what I consider “The Big 4 of Fandoms” it was just 4 collective fan bases that were all pretty non-toxic, stuck together, and they seemed like a little council then it became 3 over the years since I think the RE one became more toxic the fandoms I’m referring to is Metal Gear Solid, Devil May Cry, and Yakuza/Like a Dragon
Yeah, that makes sense. I’m actually learning the lore thing already and I’m at re4 and if I play any re Survivors in dead by daylight then I have to play their game I can’t just played the remake I also have to play the PS one version too which I don’t have so yeah….
random but 8:43 is straight up murder lol. Every time I see this, I'm like... do we know for sure...at this point in the game...that this lady is even hostile? Maybe a servant, or prisoner, who knows lol.
i've always felt that way about that enemy in OG 😅
I mean they got a dude burning in the center of town and she's there tending a chicken or whatever not doing anything to stop that she definitely isn't a good person
I like all the RE games and movies. Screw the haters. Boo Hoo.
The best person on the internet so far 😮
I’ve always said it, unless you do a copy and paste movie/ tv show you will never make these “hardcore” RE fans happy. I really like RE because of how far and different this franchise can be taken. The only time I have ever freaked out in relation to this subject was the tv shows weaker, only because I saw Blade. lol
The worst group in my opinion, are the nostalgia blinders who literally shame you for liking newer games
It's ok if you prefer the older games but insulting people for having a different opinion is never ok
Agreed
Shippers are either the craziest people you've ever met or the nicest- no in between. Sincerely, a shipper

It's funny he actually called it the "debate section", instead of comments section. 9:51
There’s one type of fan you forgot to mention that was birthed in the past 2 years. “the RE fans that get upset when RE announcements don’t happen and acting disrespectful to all Capcom fans”. What I mean by that is when the 2022 Capcom countdown turned out to be the announcement of Street Fighter 6 which I was so happy as I’m a fighting fan game, 50% of the comments where RE fans complaining that it wasn’t RE4 Remake at the time which by then RE fans have gotten so many new games that they didn’t realize or understood why SF games were happy given that it was several years after SF5 came out and the decade plus of Capcom fighting games struggling and not doing well in terms of decisions that result in those games not being received well. And now Capcom fighting game fans like me are in heaven now that almost every Capcom fighting game series is finally returning in many years with the recent collections like the MvC Collection and Capcom fighting collection 2 which for us fans is a dream come true but also a goal to have these series finally get new installments. But one of the things that got me angry is when RE fans were telling me and other Capcom fans that “we don’t deserve new games in those series because they don’t sell well”. And that Capcom showcase from June 2024 where RE9 was confirmed was the moment where every single Capcom fanbase finally realize how Capcom is relying too much on Resident evil and not enough on other series. I understand that RE is the most popular Capcom franchise but it’s frustrating how disrespectful the RE fans can be when they are getting too many RE fans and complaining when other Capcom games are getting the spotlight
I was so disappointed with the female fans of this community for not standing up against the hate and harassment towards Lily Gao but instead they were rewarding the bridal haters towards her the likes of Sphere hunter and Melonie mac especially both acted unprofessional.
I was expecting this community to be better but I was disappointed no hate was warranted and justified I was disgraceful.
Idk about Sphere hunter or Meloni Mac but I did see some of the comments on Lily's IG and they were quite derogatory and mean....No one should be subjected to that for one bad performance (yes i think the performance as Ada by Lily was not up to the mark but thats it! Im not gonna talk about her race or looks because she was the voice of a VIDEO GAME CHARACTER!? what is up with people these days!)
The fandom ruined Leon.
How? I am new to this fandom so can you please explain? I am actually quite curious
Resident Evil doesn't have fans, it has consumers. RE9 could be about an alien invasion and you play as Ethan's daughter using her Mold powers to turn into Venom and go blow up the Death Star and it will still sell 15 million copies. Resident Evil is now a brand.
Don't give them ideas.
They should make a game where sheva claire and ada (maybe more) work together. I think that could be cool
My list of things I don't like about this community might be long but here goes
1. Fans who only played the og trilogy and shit all new games
2. People who refuse to play spin offs because they don't have a number even though majority are canon
3. Wesker fanboys and fans boys who can't accept he's dead
4. Aeon Ada x Leon shippers
5. Valenfield Jill x Chris shippers most toxic people I've ever ran into
6. Chris and piers shippers
7. Shippers who random talk shit to you or message you because they don't agree with your ship with nothing constructive to add. Lol why is what I do for fun only your concern . Some hypocrite in this comment did this to me just goes to show how bad it is with shippers.
8. People who can't separate shipping from canon of games I play to fight zombies and monsters with favorite characters . I don't care about shipping when I'm playing.
9. Claire and Leon shippers
10. People who only played the remakes and call people who played the og games or games til current boomers. Because they only got into series with remakes or were never intrested til remakes.
11. People who can't understand that remakes aren't better than og and visa versa no game is perfect they both do things better than others
12. People who are unwilling to learn the series lore and play the games for various reasons but expect to you know lore and played games of their favorite series. People who get mad at you for knowing lore that goes against their head canon (yes they exist) at most I prefer people to learn lore so we can play together better because most people don't like lore dumps and reading files
13. I hate using this term but bandwagon fans .People who hate on you or others for the games you like because others do so. Majority is from word of mouth from other players and fans or they've never played games before and have negative opinions and think every should think the same.
14. Leon fanboys and people who call him twink are cringe
15.Chris fanboys and people who say they love Chris but only devolves him to boulder punch and roids..
16. Ada fanboys and fangirls toxic people who thinks she perfect and think their headcanon about her is always right to the point of arguments. They think she can beat everyone in the series like the legit strongests characters in series ( example Wesker,Chris Leon and Jill even Miranda...)
17. People who can't comprehend you can hate games in the series but still play and enjoy them. But still overall dislike them.
But I digress I've played the series since the beginning and like the series as whole. I believe every game has something to offer even I don't like it . Every game is someone's favorite. Mine are 2,4,6. Though I played majority of the series ,most played games are 1, 2,4,5,6,8 & spinoffs . I enjoy talking about games and lore with people. Don't care if you hadn't played them all. Unrealistic to expect with tech limitations. I enjoy shipping on the side for fun,While talking about it with people as long as we're respectful. That's kind of fan I am and I ain't perfect just like RE shrugs.
Perfectly summarized. I read it all
@@raidenstark4964 Thanks 🤝
I have to agree with all of these honesty and i'm glad that I haven't come across a whole lot of people like what you've listed. Also i love Re6 too.
Fans who believe that CV is actually RE 3.
Fans may view RE 4 as the most successful game without fully recognizing the negatives and argue that it "rescued the series" from obscurity.
Fans believe that RE 3 Remake removed content that was present in RE 2 Remake, such as a cemetery, raining scenes, and a clock tower.
Fans believe that Resident Evil 5 and 6 are subpar due to their excessive action, even though Resident Evil 4 had a similar level of action. While RE 4 had a "spooky" horror aspect, it also lacked the survival horror elements present in earlier games as I said.
Fans who dislike fixed camera and first-person shooter games but appreciate third-person shooter games exclusively.
@@White927 Overall I agree but differ on some points. CV and re3 is convoluted because even creators can't agree on what was what involving them going by interviews. CV started as spin off was going to be mainline but stayed spinoff and re3 was always mainline just changed.
It did RE wasn't a household name til re4 it was super niche. It brought tps to current date. I agree did bring a lot negatives just like COD in mid
2000's. I don't know if I'd say obscurity.. but did save franchise. Devs were in fatigue of making same game over and over and leaving if they didn't make re4 RE would've been dead. That's from their own mouths.
Completely agree as survival horror is a fan made term . Capcom never used it until years for marketing when they saw it was profitable. Most fans are hypocrites re1 til current you start off horror then guns a blazing half way. They all have vague fallacies on what survival horror is, even when has those elements like you said they'll deny it.
Those are some of the worst people to deal camera nostalgia or can only be this way. I prefer tps but play fps and tps ,fixed camera constantly. Why not have more options. RE spinoffs and re7 ,8 prove fps works, 1-3 CV provef fixed camera works ,re4, 5,6 rev1-2 and remakes prove tps works. Nothing wrong with options RE has always experimented with gameplay.
Love to meet people who i can have a proper conversation with 🖤
I once stated that I wasn’t a fan of Ada or Aeon and I was stalked and harassed by multiple different people for MONTHS. One person said I was racist for not liking Ada and this other person would talk so much crap about me to random people saying I was bringing down other women??? Needless to say I distanced myself from the fandom after that
Alright so I had an ex friend that was obsessed with Leon Kennedy to the point he faked having an alter of Leon, It disgusted me to the point I stopped being his friend. He did the same thing with creepy pasta characters.
These conversations are the ones you intentionally say everything wrong.
What game has the best camera perspective? Survivor.
Who's the best character?
Joseph simply because he died before I heard his opinion.
Best weapon? Kickable doors.
Well what's the best Resident Evil setting? The streets of 3 remake.
See I'm kinda the opposite, when 4, 5 and 6 came out. I just stopped playing them AND talking about them lol.
I do own a hard copy disc of RE4 but i never played it for more than liek 20 minutes lol. If not for the remakes, I probably would still to this day have no idea what happens in Re4. I did play 5 and 6 but that was only for the multiplayer aspect with my signifciant other.
I don't care what other people like - but I was a little disappointed that my survival horror genre just kinda disappeared for almost a decade...and did what every game at the time was doing, military simulation/action. To make matters worse, I'm a US Army Ranger IRL at the time and just rolling my eyes with cringe lol.
Anyway, that tangent aside, RE4 remake managed to bring a level of seriousness and horror and meld it almost perfectly with the action IMHO. Masterpiece if you ask me lol. Hope they can do the same with 5 and 6.
What about the fans that are mad about not being able to look up skirts lmao
All that stuff you said about the psychotic shippers sounds like the average yaoi fangirl, to me.
Yeah, there are some fans and this can be any type of fandom. There are some fan that seem to forget that Resident Evil is just a video game. It's a fictional story, taking place in a fictional universe, with fictional characters. The keyword is here is, Fictional. There's a difference between being a die hard fan, and a nutcase.
I would probably lump the “character fanatics” and the extreme “shippers” into one group. Though I can see how you might prefer to give them each their own spot. With that extra spot open, I would probably have my fifth group be something like “Capcom’s Corporate Cultists”.
By that term, I would refer to the subset of fans that will automatically side with any business decision Capcom makes, no matter how blatantly lazy, anti-customer, etc. it is. Also, they seem to judge how much of a "true fan" someone is, based on how much one is committed to mindlessly shelling out money for Capcom and acting like they are automatically owed customers' money.
For example, they will try to paint pay-to-win micro-transactions as a good thing in RE4 Remake (when such options in singleplayer games used to be implemented as free cheat codes, etc.) and apparently even in the recent RE multiplayer spinoffs. Or they might try to use Ad Hominem attacks to shut down any criticisms, regarding how the RE2+RE3 Remakes are unfinished in certain areas and/or leave out major pieces of content/replay-value with no adequate replacements. If one still enjoys those remakes in spite of the cuts and/or did not mind those specific pieces of content being left out, that’s fine, but they shouldn’t act like others don’t have a legitimate reason to feel short-changed by Capcom.
I don't agree with the cosplay part in Number 3, it could be a fun hobby for some and as long as thats all there is to it I dont see anything wrong with wanting to cosplay their favourite RE character
Oh I'm not talking about cosplaying. I'm talking about that turning into the character mentally and physically for the rest of their everyday life.
Fans who believe that CV is actually RE 3.
Fans may view RE 4 as the most successful game without fully recognizing the negatives and argue that it "rescued the series" from obscurity.
Fans believe that RE 3 Remake removed content that was present in RE 2 Remake, such as a cemetery, raining scenes, and a clock tower.
Fans believe that Resident Evil 5 and 6 are subpar due to their excessive action, even though Resident Evil 4 had a similar level of action. While RE 4 had a "spooky" horror aspect, it also lacked the survival horror elements present in earlier games as I said.
Fans who dislike fixed camera and first-person shooter games but appreciate third-person shooter games exclusively.
There you go.
Leon shippers are the cringiest part of the community
And one thing I can't stand in the Resident Evil fandom is the teenagers and 20 year olds because they absolutely know nothing about the franchise and their brains haven't developed into adult brains yet. They think they live in a fantasy world. As for shippers, I don't have problems with it, as long as it's not their whole life blood or take it very seriously. I love how you mentioned that Ada is your favourite outside of the ship. People need to love characters outside of their ship. The ship doesn't define the characters, the characters define themselves. That's the same with people who love franchises, people shouldn't take it too seriously because it's all fictional and a bunch of pixels. These franchises aren't real and neither are the characters real. They should go touch grass. And some people who claim to be fans of characters don't really understand the characters well, which I hate. And people should realize that these characters and franchises are here for our entertainment and to enjoy, these things aren't meant to be taken seriously. And you are right, we should have normal and healthy conversations and discussions about these things. Like for example, one day, I would like to have a normal and healthy discussion about Resident Evil and the Ethan Winters character, especially the Ethan Winters character that you've might not have known about that I noticed and how he links to and are similar to a couple of franchises I know about, which make him interesting.
And another thing is I actually avoid most Resident Evil fans because of these reasons and just enjoy it by myself and enjoy it with the people I love. That's it. I don't get involved in fandoms.
Honestly, I hate most of the old games due to the limitations they brought. The only “old” RE game I think I can actually appreciate is RE5, due to it being a superior OG RE4 in terms of gameplay, RE6 and RE Rev 2 are some of my favorite games in the series, as well as every single remake. I’ve never had issues with anyone having a different view than I am about these games, shipping and knowing lore is something I like doing with people in my family who are also massive RE fans, it’s fun, hilarious & absolutely a blast lmao. Attacking anyone in any fandom should just stop, it’s beyond annoying, they should just grow up already.
Nice video. For me the perspective freaks are the worst, like people who think that if the game doesn't have fixed camera angles then it's not a resident evil game. Like, get a life and try to enjoy the game. Also old schoolers, if these guys were in charge they would push out the same game every time and re would get stale and we would not get re games right now, the series would have been dead long ago. One more type of fans you didn't mention and annoy me are the Stalker/No Stalker fans, the ones who like the Stalker enemy and the others that having a Stalker in the game that is not scripted(ie re3r) it ruins the whole game for them and think it's a gimmick.
If I a game has a stalker cool if not cool. I don’t mind whatever perspective it is I will try it. Like 7 and 8. Not a big fan of first person but ended up liking it
I ship Chris and Rebecca. I call it redchamber💓
😂
One question, is Revelations 1 worth playing? I have Revelations 2 and im halfway through the game, is it worth buying the first Revelations? It looks scary af
I enjoyed it. The dodge button is hit or miss. You have the raid mode as well.
The person that hates remakes and thinks capcom is soulless
I've been in a resident evil group on fb for like 2 years even the group I'm in is rather civil for a fb group but God damn there is alot of some of these categories 😂 I love the firearm aspect of resident evil its pretty much 90% of the reason I chose a beretta 92fs as my first carry pistol when I turned 21 and cus of my autism after years of being told I have a unique shooting stance I realized after 20 years of playing re1 I have 100% copied Jill's shooting stance and never noticed until 2 years ago when I was playing resident evil 1 remake 😂😆
I think a lot of this just boils down to ppl who take the franchise too seriously.
You dont need to make a big deal about every little inaccuracy, these aren’t real people or organizations that would dish real consequences if you get something wrong.
preferring one style/era of games is fine, but if you dont like it, then… don’t? (i personally am just used to the over the shoulder and when the third person option was available for re8 i was super excited, but i don’t hate first person (im a huge dbd fan so its ironic i prefer the third person aspect lol))
I have plenty of ships that i enjoy and repost content of, and there are plenty of ships i do not understand/enjoy. but honestly? (And this was my biggest gripe with revelations, and by ‘this’ i mean JESSICA) idk about yall but i cant just casually bring up my gf or talk about being in love when im trying to not have my fleshed ripped off.
i dont care much for there being “canon” relationships when it’s not the main focus. as much as i enjoy ships, relationships make things muddy. i dont need leon to grab ada’s shoulder right before she grapples away and say “ada… i love you.” just so everyone knows theyre “canonically” together or for jill to kiss claire when they enter the same room- i gotta know what im about to kill and how tf ive gotta kill it
Oh my GODDDDD not you again girl (I hate you for hating on my fav Ethan Winters 😭😭😭) and why tf do you think Shippers is the worst kind of Fans in RE Community bsffr
DON'T mess with me, my friends and everyone who are SHIPPERS
Oh no my arch nemesis!
@@erzatitaniawinssomeone certainly takes this way too seriously. I'm glad I never get to that kind of extent as a Ethan Winters fan myself.
Nightcrawler 1234 He is pretty much the worst of the Is resident evil Fandom He's pretty much like young defiant and critical drinker Am I personal opinion I've encountered people like him and the resident evil fandom and they're the worst
They pretty much hate all the new stuff.They presented as fact and they're entitled to their opinions.But when they try to push them on everyone else and then if you do like something you get cramped on for it.That's where I have the biggest amount of problems
The one Basically are so toxic They can never be wrong or respect.Anyone else's opinions they Make fun People just because they can and just to Get the rocks off. I've encountered people in the resident evil Community like that and it always pisses me off.How condescending narcissistic or Downright Toxic they are Cause if anything they just act like children and It shows
I love this video It's truthful because there's a lot of people that do that specially in this community and It really sucks
He didn’t even say how the RE2 remake is lazy he made a comment about my opinion the RE2 remake compared to the RE3 remake. And he just said it’s it’s a disgrace from the original and it’s very lazy doesn’t even say how it is?
Yeah, I experienced that one person said that the RE2 remake is very lazy and I’m like are you sure about that? And he thinks that the original RE2 is better than the remake and I defended the remake because it’s not a lazy game like really? How the hell is the RE2 remake lazy? I told him the positives and a little bit of the negatives of the game and he had no arguments against it because he has no facts and logic.
Had the same experience as you, this fanbase has to be the worst in terms of gatekeeping new audience.
not about RE but I never say how dare you sad that you didnt get it right
no I correct people when they want to be corrected
I’ve played like maybe an hour and Shad of resident evil remake don’t have to time at the moment but I have the first four on steam. The steam community page is some of the most horrendous things I’ve ever seen
There are five different kinds of fanboys?
Wtf
Unfortunately there are a lot more than that in this fandom.
how DARE YOU to be different😡😡😡
I grew up with the original re games 1,2,3 original, the side games as well. Plus re4, re5, re6 all great games, my personal favorite is re3 original and re6, my favorite re character is jill valentine, now when it comes to the re7 and 8 , for me its not a re game it doesn't fit, now the games are good but not for the re franchise, abd here comes the remakes re2 , re3 re4, well for me good games but when to compare the original to remake they miss the mark had so much potential but it is what it is. Thnak you for a great video, i agree with what you are saying 100% ,
3 is my favourite too I remember playing it in 99 when I was like 6 and getting my dad to get me past nemesis in the police station because I was scared 😂
@@IzzyandShadow I was about 6 or 7 when I played re3 original nemesis gave me nightmeres
@@rainsnowflake4664 I just wish they would have put more effort into the remake for 3
I never got to play the OG games I do have RE1R RE0 and the Remaster of RE1R and RE0 but from what I've seen from playthroughs of the OG 1 2 and 3 the remakes are actually Reimaginings not remakes imo if you look how Loyal the RE1R is to the OG 1996 RE1R is it's a loyal remake but The newer Remakes aren't they are definitely good game sorry for the rambling
@@phillipmorgan2017 the RE1 remake is honestly a masterpiece
Leon fanboys 🤢👎
The Resident Evil fans I dislike are the ones who hate on remake Jill. She is literally the most human and realistic Jill Valentine the franchise has ever gotten, and her voice actress Nicole Tompkins did an amazing job. Jill is very well written in the remakes, not only do they explore on Jill’s trauma from Resident Evil 1, but they also show changes of her character through her personality. She’s more careful about trusting other people ever since she was betrayed by Barry Burton and Albert Wesker, she’s also more tough in the outside so she won’t show any weaknesses to her enemies, but she still has her compassion for others. To me, the fans that hate remake Jill are a bunch of sexists who see females as motherly side characters while male characters like Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield have to be badasses and get all the attention and hype from the fanboys. Let’s not forget Jill and Chris were the first main protagonists of this franchise, let’s not disrespect the first characters in Resident Evil please.
I actually made a video last year talking about how I believe Jill is the most over criticized character in Resident Evil.
th-cam.com/video/81QuIsPWv0Y/w-d-xo.html
People who get pissed when a woman isn't sexualised 24/7, like, how dare a woman be an actual character for a second.
The only RE fans I hate is OG RE4 fanboys and by extension Leon fanboys. I promise og RE4 isnt that good and Leon isnt that cool
Time To Log Off Byeeeeeeee 💀
Ewwww not you shipping Leon & Ada 🤢🤮 this ship made me very uncomfortable so... Lethan is 100% better than Aeon (You should cry over me shipping Leon & Ethan If you want idgaf)
@@RULESOFBLOODSHED bitch What The Fuck 😂 You’re Probably Just A Teen LOL
@@RULESOFBLOODSHED ok Shut Up No One asked Eww
Woke gameplay, disliked. Took away my dislike because number 1 was actually funny.
13:48 peak sense of humor
RE fans whom I encountered some issues with are mostly from Facebook (LOL) and it's about my critical thoughts with Ada's new VA for RE4R, my adoration for Milla's RE films, and my love for RE6 -- most of the people who seem to be closed minded are those who grew up with classic RE (not saying ALL of them are like this) but yeah, some of these fans are so toxic. I am however, so grateful for people like you for having an open mind and are very fun to engage with 🫶🏻❣️
I think I'm a lore whore. 😂
Naaa. There's nothing wrong with not knowing every little detail of the games. What does bother me though, are people who've played one or two RE games, claim to be hardcore RE fans and stuburnly try to sell me fiction as facts. 🫤
