Resident Evil 5 had a good amount of representation, shame they didn't like that either. It was racist apparantly. Notice Capcom haven't put a black person in Resident Evil since LOL.

Despite having multiple black characters with their own backstory in every single game it's still somehow a problem.
The studio that actually makes the games are 99.9% white (and the people that play them are vast majority white) yet they expect there to be black lead characters to satisfy their own racist needs.
The protagonist character is a straight white American man in all of them. Cole is a walking stereotype. The writing is basic schlock, not self aware enough to be exploitative. They have different ethnicities and genders....and that’s it. Is that representation?
.
Of course it is. I, personally, don't think it is necessary for a games narrative to include or be focused on ethnicity, gender, or sexuality to justify a characters in-game existence.
But it is necessary for a character to have more depth than just being a token (((diversity))) inclusion to justify anyone giving a shit.
