I am not Dracarys.

Note: Was response to Newsbot.

Your signature gave the wrong impression, then.

It's Dracarys' squeeze.

The similar attitude and erroneous nature threw me off.

I'm the writer of a story. I write a story and leave the ending up in the air and rather ambiguous as to what happened to the characters. All readers have their own vision of what may have happened.

Later on down the line, I then say in an interview, "Hey so, I've been asked many times and well, this is what actually happened".

Guess what that means? THAT is what happened. It doesn't matter if I never included it in the books. "I" am the writer. It is "my" story. Therefore what I say goes. It doesn't matter if I said it in an interview. I am the one who gets to decide anything regarding my story.

Look at Harry Potter. No where in the books does it say Dumbledore is gay. Yet, Rowlings said he is, therefore he is. It's canon fact regardless of whether it's in the book itself, he's gay.

So this whole "If it's not in the games and not in the english games, it doesn't matter" crap is moot. Sorry to say but if I'm native english and write my story in english and it gets translated into german and the german translation butchers the translation, that doesn't make what the german version says override what the english version says.

Capcom is a japanese company that makes these games in japanese first and english second regardless of where they are most popular. The original japanese source material will always override the english translation in full no matter what you say or think.

Again, as the writer, I dictate the story and have full control and say over what is and isn't about it, not you the reader/player. You do not get to pick and choose what is canon and what isn't, I do.

If I come out and tell you in an interview that the latest book in my series is not canon and is simply an Alternate Universe, then that's what it is. You trying to piece it into the canon and refusing to acknowledge what I said doesn't change the 'fact' that it is not canon and is AU.


So again for the last time. I am the writer, what I say goes. You are the reader/fan. What you say regarding canon means absolutely nothing.



ORC is not canon as stated so by it's owners. The japanese material regarding what is canon and not canon in RE1/2/3 etc. is what is canon and what goes. If they say barry/rebecca/chris/jill/brad all escaped together from the mansion despite that never happening in the original game, then that's what happened. Same with everything else in the series. That is all there is to it. No amount of "opinion' from you can change 'fact'.


And I just have to laugh at your comment about:



How ballsy of you to believe, let alone say that anything worth anything should be in english and that everything else is basically gutter trash since it's not english. This is probably one of the most disgraceful and ignorant comments I've read from anyone on this site in a long, long time.

^^ I really don't care.

I've seen how immature, arrogant, negative, offensive, obnoxious, full of double standards, selfish and the amazingly ability to blow minor things out of proportion for sake of complaint some members of the RE community can be, especially over canon. Apparently serious business the RE canon.

I'm above arguing this, especially with such people.

Of course it's serious business, this is the series we loved and we are here to discuss all of it's aspects, including the story, which is one of the most important aspects of the series (to me at least).

I really don't know what was the point in starting this argument if you don't care. immature, arrogant, negative, offensive, obnoxious? i think you are just describing yourself.

If you don't care, you simply stop replying. Cool down, it's just a discussion about a video game, people will have different opinions and prioritize different elements (story, gameplay, design, etc.)

So when presented with facts you can't dispute, rather than think for two seconds and realize you were wrong, you stubbornly run away and toss out petty insults and pretend not to care.

You're 'above' arguing solely because there's nothing you 'can' argue.

Everyones entitled to an opinion, but, opinions cannot override facts. You can believe sherry birkin is actually claires mother if you want. But it wont make it true and telling everyone on here as much isn't going to get you anything but people using 'facts' to prove your inaccurate statement wrong.

That's kinda how it works :P

Throwing out petty insults and running away pouting that you "don't care" is basically "I can't hear you. la la la la la" aka self delusion and stubborn denial.

So if you only wanna throw out your own opinion and have people agree with you and not challenge it, discussion boards are not for you. Stick to facebook where you can block comments so no one can disagree and you can live in your imaginary world of self delusion.
