I M A G E R Y Survival horror convention: innocence vs evil Typically coded and white vs black, light vs darkness, west vs rest, etc Early in RE5, the team sees a (extremely) White woman dragged screaming by an African into a second- story apartment. This scene evokes allusions of Black-on-White rape because of the womans Whiteness as well as historical connotations of Black desire for pure White women. There are no random choices in videogames; the developers chose that pairing to fit in with the horror aesthetic of the game Brock, 2011: p.433-434 12. RE5, however, utilizes a character set more frequently seen in action movies: a skilled, laconic White mercenary type teamed up with an exotic female partner. Shevas African origins lead one to believe that she will serve as a native guide, but her AI capabilities are not robust enough to allow her to survive autonomously plus she is apparently unfamiliar with the area. At all times, she requires Chris assistance to fend off enemies and provide direction In her role as support person, Sheva does little to challenge gendered and racialized stereotypes of women in media 13. B R O C K , 2 0 1 1 Sheva Alomars depiction evokes possibilities of changing industry perspectives on female videogame leads. Unfortunately, Shevas character conforms to Western hegemonic conceptions of femininity and race: she is brown, inarticulate, and supportive of the White hero. Shevas alternate costumes make it clear that she is window- dressing; a sexualized mule that lovingly carries tools of domination and death for her White partner to use against her people. 14.
