I love the fact that Capcom has imposed an unrealistic and nonexistent beauty standard even basing it on real women for the Resident Evil franchise!!
Overview
This image is a screenshot of a public post from X (formerly Twitter) user @canal_horaplay, translated from Portuguese. The post features sarcastic text commentary paired with 8 hyper-realistic AI generated bust portraits of popular female characters from the Capcom Resident Evil video game franchise, including Ashley Graham, Ada Wong, Jill Valentine, Rosemary Winters, and Claire Redfield. The post text sarcastically celebrates that Capcom has imposed an 'unrealistic and nonexistent beauty standard' for its female characters even when basing designs on real women, mocking common critical discourse that argues video game female character designs are unachievable and unrealistic. All characters are shown with conventionally attractive features, matching their in-game designs rendered to look like real women.
Origin notes
This content originated as a post on X (Twitter) by user @canal_horaplay, and was later reposted to the entertainment platform 9Gag via its RSS feed. The original 9Gag title for the post is 'SFM corn material, god bless Japan', which uses internet slang where 'corn' refers to pornography, and 'SFM' refers to Source Filmmaker, a tool commonly used to create fan-made adult content featuring video game characters. The title lightheartedly references that the highly attractive Resident Evil female character designs are frequently used for this type of explicit fan content, thanking Japanese developer Capcom for creating the characters.
