Fandom Problem #10,401:
(TW: SA mention and incest mention): As much as I want some obscure media to get the remake treatment, I don’t want it. Not because I’m pessimistic towards remakes, in fact, my favorite game is the Resident Evil 4 Remake.
It’s because of how sensitive people are nowadays and lack media literacy. Haunting Ground, for instance. I WISH that this game was not a PS2 exclusive and I wish Capcom did not decide to be stupid and release it at the same time as the original RE4, because the latter would get more attention than the other because Resident Evil is mainstream at this point. That aside, Haunting Ground should not get a remake because people will be unable to handle the themes of that game.
People will say that the game glorifies SA and incest when it does not. It portrays the antagonist and the enemies as creeps. It even depicts the only female enemy Daniella as a creep for undressing Fiona with her eyes and touching her without her consent. Fiona’s uncle is every single type of creepy and wants to get her pregnant because of the most depraved reasons.
The game is supposed to put you in the shoes of a vulnerable person and show you the perspective of how scary it is for young women to be preyed on. That is where the horror part of the survival horror comes into play.
I do not want this to be remade not because of the elements of this horror game, but because people will misinterpret this game as a “disgusting, rape and incest fetish game” when it is clearly not. It’s a SURVIVAL HORROR game.
