Me finding out that Reptile's face model in MK1 is not the same as Nero from DMC5:
Note: Before the official MK1 cast list came out it did say that Reptile was Karlo Baker.

You know, since getting into the Resident Evil fandom, there's one thing I've noticed that kind of makes the fandom a bit, if not very, disgusting. It's the fact that Eduard Badaluta, the face model for Leon S Kennedy in the remakes of RE2 and RE4 is getting over sexualised by the fandom.
Now, I'm not going to lie and say that I'm a saint, cause I'm not. I do find Eduard attractive. I do personally think he is an attractive guy. But I don't, nor ever, would want to make him feel uncomfortable by sexualising him (I am taking out the fact that I am on asexual spectrum here).
Eduard has made it clear that he doesn't like the fan edits or accounts of him, yet some people have gone against his wishes. Yes, I know this kind of is inevitable when you are in the public eye and when your face is out there. But still. How would you feel if your friend was getting over sexualised in the public eye and felt uncomfortable about, despite all attempts of trying to get the public to stop?
Now, once again, I am no saint. I have written ship fanfics of real life people and made them public for others to read. But, and I mean a BIG ASS BUT, I have made a disclaimer on those accounts that I don't actually ship them and it's me writing a fanfic.
And again, I do find Eduard Badaluta attractive and I feel bad for finding him attractive cause I know he hates the Resident Evil fandom. I don't even blame him for the hating the fandom because of the fact that he has experienced these things from the fandom. The over sexualisation, some fans blurring the lines between fiction and reality by calling him Leon, etc.
This sort of thing gives fandom a bad reputation and I am not just talking about the Resident Evil fandom. When there's real people involved, some fans blur lines. Yes, I know. "It's not all fans." But it's always hard to ignore those fans when they are the loud ones of the fandom.
This part goes out to the fans that keep calling Eduard 'Leon'. Yes, Eduard was the *face model* for Leon Kennedy, but that does not mean you can call him Leon. Especially since that's not his name. His name is Eduard Badaluta and remember next time. There's a difference between Eduard and Leon. Eduard is a real person with feelings and experiences what a large portion of humans experience. Leon, on the other hand, is a fictional character that you control in a game and can do whatever you want with within the games limits. Yes, Eduard provided his *likeness* for the use of Leon's facial features, but that's the extent of similarity. Eduard Badaluta is not Leon Kennedy irl. Remember that.
Again, I do find Eduard attractive, but my limit is that I find him attractive in a sense of a celebrity crush and that's all I will leave it at. Even then, I feel bad for even finding him attractive cause he'll have the assumption that I am like any other Resident Evil fan (not that he knows who I am anyway). I just feel bad for him since he's having this experience with the fandom.
I hope this doesn't stop him from potential future jobs as a face model for games or modelling in general. Remember, Eduard is NOT Leon irl and Eduard was a model first before he provided his likeness for Capcom.

Aaron Bernards confirmed as Smoke's face model in Mortal Kombat 1 !!
They have the same mole placement, jawline and lips 馃槶 I knew Yuri didn't fit in as his face model for me!! Maybe they mixed both VA's and face model's faces together??
