@frizen9328 There was never any "harassment." Ashley being the protected rich girl that she is falls for the first incredibly manly dude that saves her life. It's perfectly reasonable. They wanted Leon to behave more "professionally" however, or perhaps the writers wanted to portray more clearly that Leon cares more about Ada. It's just plain sleazy to hit on your ward if you're supposed to be a bodyguard. Contrary to what most people would think, it isn't typical for action heroes from "pre-woke" Hollywood to make lewd remarks towards the women they're trying to protect. The only one who did that that I can think of is Duke Nukem, and he is a parody of action heroes, not the real thing. It can be funny, sure, but it can also be off-putting depending on the character and tone of the game in general. Duke Nukem never developed any hint of a serious love interest throughout his entire franchise. Leon does. Is it more woke to be a promiscuous boytoy or to be a traditional monogamist?

@czproductions "let's add a 9 foot tall fetish fuel character to the game, but NO NO NO NAUGHTY LITTLE BOYS, you aren't allowed to lewd her"

@frizen9328 You don't have to do that though. You are the sexual harasser, not Leon. Do you think it's also intended that Leon dies because there are Leon death scenes in the game? No, it's a result of you, the player. The idea that someone like Leon would sexually harrass a woman 7 years his junior while he's also on the job is absurd. Nothing else in any of the games suggests that he would do that. It's a joke because the devs knew what some of their players would do.

@frizen9328 There's thousands of "fun things that didn't really happen" in any narratively driven video game franchise. That's just how interactive player choice is reconciled with the vision of the writers/developers. Fallout is perhaps the ultimate example. Player choice in that franchise is nearly endless but each time a new game comes out, the writers have to come up with a canon scenario for the main character of the last game, otherwise nothing will make sense. The only difference between "Actually the Vault Dweller didn't allow every single town in California to be overrun by super mutants" and "Actually Leon didn't look up Ashley's skirt" is the scale of the consequences.

@frizen9328 The fact that it's an RPG has very little to do with what I mentioned. I just used Fallout because it's the most obvious example and RPGs have the most player choice. RE4 still has a lot of player choice. You never see Leon holding an infinite rocket launcher in any of the cutscenes, for example. Canonically, it's pretty reasonable to assume that Leon didn't have access to an infinite rocket launcher, but it's still there in the game. Every game has some level of player choice otherwise it would not be a game, and every franchise that cares about its narrative will "converge" player choices into a single "canon" choice for the sake of narrative integrity

@enzotoro791 You're damn straight. I'd give anything to play video games with Leon for 30 minutes.

@blackjacka.5097 Well, it's a double-edged sword. I personally am not really invested into being able to look up Ashley's skirt. But that does not mean I particularly care whether or not it is in the game. If something is inconsequential, that means it shouldn't be changed. However, the game is being remade from scratch, so it is the developers' choice whether they want to spend the effort on reconstructing such a minor easter egg. In a way, they did, because there is still an animation for it. I don't personally understand the choice for including both the physics-defying skorts and the animation where Ashley covers herself. It's as if they wanted to nod to players that wanted to look up Ashley's skirt and admonish them at the same time. Makes no sense.

@inscription8099 It's basically a political mafia designed to force corporations into behaving in a certain way.
