Remember when these characters were normal, beleaguered people fighting desperately for survival, instead of Matrix Agents?
And I remember when Resident Evil decided to go full ham B Movie straight out of some Grindhouse theatre. Resident Evil has always been focused on the B movie experience before being a zombie horror game
No one is denying that, but the series did start off sort of groundedish. Though as the series went on, the action became more and more apparent. Then with all the development trouble RE4 had, Shinji and his team pretty much took stuff from the crappy live action movies (when it was just the two), and made them good or different enough to not be an issue.
As long as it wasn't like the last animated CG movie that aired on Netflix (don't get it confused with the horrible live action Netflix 'adaption'!), and had a dumb reason for Leon and Claire separating, then I'm good.Please don't be a one-dimensional fan service movie

Resident Evil 4 walks the line between horror and comedy, but one of the original's most memorable campy lines almost didn't make it into this year's remake.

Voice actress Lily Gao hits back at critics of her Ada Wong in Resident Evil 4 Remake
Lily Gao, the voice actor behind Resident Evil 4 Remake's Ada Wong, has hit back at critics in a new Instagram post.

EDIT: I wouldn't exactly call Ada "kind" and "just", but I get where Gao is coming from. The racists and sexists doing the harassments can fuck off.

I'm sure not acknowledging it would have been the correct way to go. Especially if you are going to come out with statements that aren't accurate to the character about the character, because all it will do is re-enforce nerdy shitbags that she doesn't belong in a role she doesn't know anything about.
At the same time, talking about Asian stereotypes feels like playing the victim, when Ada is definitely a stereotype. Like it or not, she is. Being a stereotype doesn't make her a bad character though so I think you have to be aware of the difference between filling a archtype with a character, versus stereotyping for parody or satire. I don't think Ada's Stereotyping is there to make fun of anything, I think she just fills the stereotype in a cheesy cult story when that character stereotype absolutely 100% fits with the universe, considering the B-movie nature of the RE story in general.
Lastly I would like to add that if you get death threats, just report them to the social media moderators and don't cry to the public because a lot of time the reaction is what people want. It feels like everyone gets threats on social media these days, stop announcing it. Report it and keep your mouth shut and people will stop doing it like the dumbass attention seeking spergs they are.
Still doesn't change the fact the harassers needs to fuck off, need to be reported, and shouldn't be doing this shit in the first place.
EDIT: Even better solution, Capcom (and many other publishers, developers, and console makers as well), should get off of their lazy asses and tell those assholes within the fan-base(s) to stop messing around, leave their employees alone, or face the fucking music!
Ada really only became a stereotype in the OG RE4 (the semi-sultry Bond girl, DMC1 Trish attitude, and the sexy dragon lady dress). Ada in OG RE2 was just some spy who happened to be Asian. Hell, we still don't know her real name, who the fuck she actually works for, and not much of her past. The most we get from Capcom is a "she used to work for a Chinese syndicate one point in her life". That's it. RE6 dialed back her costume back by a lot and made her outfit way more practical. RE6 has its many problems, but Ada dresses better there, than she did in RE4. Too bad her attitude was still shit and not worth caring much for.
Gao ain't playing the fucking victim card. Even if it wasn't racism/sexism (and it's clearly there, so let's not be immediately dismissive about it), you still have people harassing her for "terrible" voice acting. The other reason was because she played Ada in the live-action Welcome To Raccoon City shitty movie. I don't care what a person's feelings are on the matter whoever's performance, you don't fucking do death or rape threats! No one should have to tell them this! Gao does need to report these assholes, but I am not going to tell her that she shouldn't speak out nor call them out. I don't fucking care, if they get a reaction. Because them reacting usually shows how pathetic the spineless cowards are, and they'll stupidly throw themselves further into everyone's radar. It doesn't always turn out like this, but when they get caught, or people find out, at least it brings some good.

The problem with this approach is that the worst case is they get banned and make a sock account or even do the threat on a sock in the first place.
The only punishment that sticks is to not give it attention. Report the fuckers and say nothing publicly, because that is what they ultimately want...a fucking news story. And now these trolls have made headlines across the internet. Stop giving them this! Reports and bans mean nothing if they get the attention anyway. Attention and the knowledge that they ruined someone's day.
You take away what they WANT, not what they dont care about. It is a really simple solution.
Then get rid of their back up/sock accounts again and again, until they get bored or get caught. Simple solution.
Doesn't always work, nor will stop them doing the same thing to again, or doing the same thing to someone else. Because they don't learn shit either way, until they lose something they give an actual shit about. Mainly themselves getting into actual trouble and having to face consequences. We both know that is true. Being quiet rarely ever works, and that only gives assholes exactly what they want. It validates their fucked up views, and thinks it gives them carte blanche to do whatever they want to whoever they want. I don't blame Gao for her decision, nor am I going to tell her to run and hide. Nor anyone else for that matter. These "civilized" fans need to get their heads out of their asses and realize, people of all different walks of life have lives like them, and choose to be better about it. People of different gender and color will not constantly take it lying down. Too much of that has happened so many times in this fucking country and different parts of the world. This discussion is over. All you're doing is (unintentionally) enabling those fuckwads to keep acting like assholes.

Technically there's a bit more.
I know there's some extra info, but it's still not enough, nor are we any closer to knowing who Ada is actually working for now, than we were all the way back in 1998.Technically there's a bit more.Ada Wong

We call that unreliable narrator there.
After that, the rest is just stuff we already know, or some new info RE6 brought to the table, but not meaning much in the long run. Ada was originally supposed to show up in RE8 at one point, but Capcom wisely decided to remove her early in the development proccess. One, because it would distract from the main story and sub-plots going on, and two, she would literally have no reason to be there. Making the RE universe feel that much smaller.
Gotta love what the human race uses its “advanced” intelligence for sometimes! The immediate solution would be more severe punishment for this bs, but the long term solution will need to involve more effective educational methods.Still doesn't change the fact the harassers needs to fuck off, need to be reported, and shouldn't be doing this shit in the first place.

But seriously, its a pretty bad situation.
Crazy think about Abe assassin, the guy did it to expose the link between the political party and this weird church cult and the outrage after it somehow brought it all to public conscious and now the party is actually cutting their link with the cult. Somehow the guy crazy plan actually worked.
