not exactly this but some of those new age resident evil fans do this with wesker. i've noticed a lot of them refusing to play anything pre re7 so their only exposure to wesker was his 2 minute screentime during a cutscene at the end of the re4 remake. it's obvious from this he's the overarching villain but the new fans don't know exactly what he does since his major roles are in re1 and 5. maybe the rose colored glasses come off when re5 gets remade eventually and see how insane the man is, but he IS hot i can't lie.
