Forgive me if it's old news, but I hadn't seen this before.

Check out the segment starting at 19:22. Druckman just says it out loud. There was a "pitch" (by team members who were explicitly tasked with injecting diversity) to make a character trans. I don't recall seeing this so directly stated anywhere else. Really confirms what we've long suspected.
Imagine a bunch of tranny and queer devs doing a little power point presentation for their boss explaining why a character in their video game should be trans. Then imagine the boss actually doing it. The state of modern western writing.
They hate Grace because she cries all the time and bitch-wrists when shooting her gun. You know, like an actual woman.
Capcom gives me whiplash as sometimes it feels like they pander and then with their main franchise Resident Evil (numbered sequels NOT spin offs) they pull out all the stops to ensure it's good.
They made Grace feel like a woman that's dropped in the thick of it, trying to survive and trying to help Leon as best she can as he seems her only lifeline as a veteran of this shit.
