Please buy RE2Make, they got rid of the spiders and replaced them with something else which is arguably more creative and fitting, and you absolutely should support such business practices.

Toby shows up in that ending the same age he is in game and since he's a decade younger than the rest of the cast it does not take place in the gently caress ing past. The people trying to sell you that are dupshits desperate to explain away the Same kind of gross writing the author has put out over the last 15 years.

Yeah for real, Erica was handled incredibly poorly in the original and I do not believe for a single second that they've improved their handling of her at all. Nothing has gotten better.

She's not prevented from doing it. There's no magical spell that makes Erica incapable of the transition. It's frustrating and lovely that they felt the need to show it but don't write in plot points that aren't there.

Goin back in time and making it so that she doesn't transition literally is preventing her from transitioning via magic.

I'm being very literal in that they go back in time and Erica hasn't transitioned yet but she still can. There is no implications that anything can stop her from going through with it here too. It just hasn't happened yet (if it happens at all)

During the course of the entire game there's constant "jokes" about her "actually" being a man and the new ending ends with her living as a man and the director is a notorious bigot but don't worry, "she could still transition". Nothing about the ending implies that she's still trans or will transition in the future! Just because the possibility hasn't been explicitly eliminated doesn't mean that that's the intended reading.

gently caress off.

I literally said it was bad and I did not like it or agree with it. All I was trying to say is that people should have a clear idea of what actually happens in the ending as actual fake spoilers have been floating around trying to make it even worse than it actually is, or making it better.

Catherine at no point attacks Erica. Erica at no point thanks Catherine for preventing the change or says that her life is better now that it hasn't happened. These things do not happen and I saw it getting parroted around as if it was true. I think it's important to get mad at it.
That the writer should be shamed. But I think he should be shamed and fired for what's actually there.

I didn't say any of that poo poo. I said she was prevented from transitioning. She was. That is what happens in the new ending.
