Random question but, seeing your post about non-con with Wesker had me wondering
do you think Wesker sexually abused Jill prior to the events Resident Evil 5, when she was under his mind control?
I’ve seen this debate quite often in this fandom, and as someone who thinks Wesker wouldn’t stop at rape, I think he would’ve done so to Jill.
However, not because of attraction or out of sexual desire, but to prove how out of control and weak she is. To make a point that he is in control.
Just wondering your thoughts on it!
No, you absolutely nailed it. I think he did, yeah and for exactly the reason you gave.
He's all about control, he's obsessed with it. And while that can be a sex thing for him, it's also just the core of his personality and how he maneuvers in the world.
And the biggest thing is that Jill will not submit to him. He can be logical about it, try to persuade her with his vision of the future, that he saved her life after the Spencer Estate. None of that matters. She hates him, which is fine and understandable, but she has to remember that he owns her.
She was a strong, proud, exceptionally skilled woman and now she's nothing but a tool for him to use in any way he likes. Including sexually.
And, yeah, I don't think he's particularly attracted to her (honestly, and this might just be projecting, but I read him as a high sex drive asexual who mostly dates/fucks women because it's easier. and he's a boomer so he's got some hangups about being queer happy pride month) but if he's feeling it-- or if he just wants to enjoy the hate in her eyes-- he'll do it. It's less sex and more that he's using her to masturbate. She's nothing more than a fond, nostalgic object to him, after all.
Also fond of the idea that he touches her simply because he can. Almost like a distraction or fidget toy; he's managed to have Uroboros reach 100% infection, but he needs it to not be 100% lethal- else his new world will be very lonely. And he must survive, of course, so how can he splice genes to accomplish this? What would impact survivability slightly without degrading infection? And all the while he's fondling Jill's pussy just to keep his hands busy.
also... he put her in that fucking bodysuit. I know it's kinda presented as "tactical" and simply to the game's aesthetic choices (see also: Jessica's one-legged wet suit in Revelations), but other female characters fight just fine in normal clothes, so Wesker chose to dress her in his aesthetics... which just so happen to be skin-tight.
