Capcom released its Resident Evil 4 remake last month, and while the developer managed to get many things right in its re-imagining of the 2005 survival horror classic, some of the more outspoken fans out there seem to believe that it failed at finding the right voice actress for one of the franchise's most popular characters. Lily Gao, the actress who cameoed as Ada Wong in Welcome to Racoon City, 2021's critically panned Resident Evil movie, was chosen by Capcom to reprise her role as the Asian spy and Leon's rival/love interest for the RE4 remake, but a lot of players are saying that she did an awful job, claiming that she didn't do much more than read off a page based on her performance, which has been described as boring and soulless. One player even claimed that Capcom "found some last minute hooker off the street and had her record the lines through a Walmart mic," prompting Gao to wipe her Instagram feed, leaving a single post titled "the role of privilege."

If the worst comment was "some last minute hooker", that's pretty mild. Everybody should wipe their social media, so congrats on that count. Whining about "privilege" is pathetic, though.
