15 Most Offensive Gaming Characters Ever

The Character: The daughter of the President of the United States, who Leon S. Kennedy is tasked with rescuing after she is kidnapped and help captive by members of Los Iluminados.

Why They're Offensive: Because she's a classically annoying, retrograde damsel-in-distress without any agency of her own. Escort missions are annoying at the best of times, but when you're lumped with an inept shrew who can't do anything to defend herself, and you're stuck with her for a large chunk of the game's play-time, it's hard not to get a little upset. It's massively frustrating that Capcom didn't make her even slightly more capable.

Sure, she can be very occasionally handy for navigating parts of the level Leon can't reach, but how about putting a gun in her hand every now and then and actually letting her do something significant? And to top it all off, she offers herself up to Leon as a prize at the end of the game, because of course (though Leon, ever the gentleman, actually refuses).
