Lily Gao, who voiced Ada Wong in Resident Evil 4 Remake, has responded to the criticism the game has faced since its release.
We recently reported that Gao Zhisheng had deleted her Instagram following harassment by gamers, but now she’s hitting back at the same Instagram account.
“It is an honor to be the first Asian actor to play Ida in a Resident Evil video game, and I will always be grateful to our producers and directors for their decision to act realistically. Unfortunately, with The release of the game also brought a sense of familiarity with ‘I don’t belong,'” Gao continued, “while the criticism was to be expected, this isn’t the first time an actor of color has faced racism and sexism for their participation Harassment. Inauthentic casting perpetuates unhealthy images and further dehumanizes the communities they seek to reflect. It is time we stop exclusively sexualizing, pornifying and enigmatic Asian women and make room for respect Every kind of Asian woman. My Ada is a survivor. She is kind, fair, smart, and funny. She is unpredictable, resilient, and definitely not a stereotype.
Gao Zhisheng seemed to stand firm against wave after wave of harassment. It is worth noting that although there are still some loud people chasing Gao Zhisheng, after the harassment was exposed, many fans expressed their support for her.
