Thank you for making the video I was too afraid to make haha. I think Capcom intentionally keeps the romantic side of characters vague and open so people can form their own attachments but who really knows
@Manhunt811 in my humble opinion I think the only things Chris are attracted to are justice and the M4A1 he carries I was mostly just playing along lol
You know normally I don't like looking too much into this kinda stuff because at the end of the day they are video game characters and with Resident Evil, it's always been pretty campy and not really about deep story or anything like that. But honestly with Chris and this theory, I can't help but feel there is some validity to it. The series has been out for like 20 years and it's not like it ever shied away from characters flirting with each other. I mean it's pretty clear that Leon has a thing for Ada and she feels the same way though she's a lot more playful and mysterious with it. And in Code Veronica, Steve had a crush on Claire. And as "eh" as RE6 was, it was kinda implied that Jake liked Sherry. All this to say is that the series never really shied away from attraction. And if Chris really was interested in women, they would've at least had the character flirt with a female character at some point, Jessica was practically throwing herself at him and he still wasn't interested lol. And seeing how he interacted with Piers to borderline intimate levels that he didn't really share with the female characters. At most with Jill but it was established that they were more best friends. So yeah, I thin kthat Chris really is implied to be gay but because of the nature of Japanese culture, they don't want to outright say it and instead decided to add subtle hints to clue-in the player who may be curious lol. Overall, nice video and well played haha.
Hes gay for the mission, bro. FLAMING Tbf though Leon is the exception not the rule. No RE protags are open about their romantic proclivities. Except Ethan.
If it was handled right and done in a subtle and not so in your face way I wouldnt mind this being a thing , having a guy like Chris as a gay character would be something different and a good role model for more masc gay guys for once
I honestly don't disagree with this, if they made it something that's brought up in the early games he would be great representation! I just feel like we need more ORIGINAL gay characters rather than making an existing character gay for the sake of representation.
We definitely need more masc gay guys in the media. I'm so tired of the overdone flamboyant, stereotypical gay that everyone attributes to being a derogatory caricature. Most of the comments here refuse the possibility of Chris being gay because he doesn't fit that stereotype, but a lot of guys who workout at the gym and look like Chris are the biggest circuit queens you'll ever meet.
@@inplane9970 what's worse is gay men are the ones who push these stereotypes the most and they honestly treat other men pretty bad in general as a group. I find masc guys get hated on more than the feminine gays
@@JPG_3000 And that would be me lmao. I do use lingo from different parts of gay cultures, but people who don't get the reference would think I'm straight.

I know it’s most likely “taboo” but I just wish Capcom would confirm Chris already. There’s so many interesting things that could be said and done with his character if it were confirmed. -He could have been outed and kicked out of the airforce. -He could have had a secret crush on Wesker before Re1 and the reason he despises Wesker now is because he is disgusted he used to have a crush on him. And who knows maybe Wesker somewhat reciprocated those feelings and that’s why he has a soft spot/obsession with Chris even though he would rather die than admit it. - It would just make Chris and Piers relationship that much more meaningful. -And last but not least, I feel like it would be nice if by the time of Re Village he had a secret husband he would see off mission and the two of them would raise Rose Winters together. How wholesome would that be? It may take forever but I’ll never stop waiting for the day where we may finally get the answer to this question. I just hope it’s the one that we’re looking for.
Some additional clues - he appears to be a fan of the band ‘Queen’; the only special stylus interaction in the 3DS game are if you touch his hair (which he fusses with) or butt; and his early appearance and backstory as a rebellious Air Force pilot could be seen as loosely inspired by the Top Gun protagonist played by Tom Cruise, who is also widely speculated to be a closeted gay. (Perhaps when that’s your source material, art imitates life 😝) I also think his lack of onscreen heterosexual interest is more conspicuous than mentioned here. Virtually all other series protagonists have onscreen flirtation or romantic chemistry at some point; even Jill Valentine in RE5 takes all of five seconds after being freed for Josh Stone to hit on her, which she appreciates enough to seemingly immediately reciprocate some degree of interest-which erodes the argument that the reason she and Chris never flirt is because of professionalism between colleagues.
@@marquiswolf2766It really wouldn’t change much about his character, especially if his sexuality was never established and made clear at any point in the franchise. Chris is a sympathetic man who develops a deep care for the people he works with regardless of how much time he’s spent with them, you’re telling me that would change if it were to be that he has a sexual orientation aside from heterosexuality? Whatever sexuality he has wouldn’t change the root of his character no matter how you try to look at it because sexuality isn’t the core basis of any person just as I hope it wouldn’t be yours. Maybe your perception of him would change, but by then that would be a you problem.
Chris' letter in RE2R; "Me? I just got back from a date with a hot chick." Claire instantly knew that this was a coded letter. Yeah, he gay. And I'm pretty sure that Jill's bi, in RE3R she's the walking personification of BDE and has posters of scantily clad women in her apartment, plus her chemistry with Claire in Dead Island...
Chris is most likely gay and that’s okay lol, it doesn’t really change anything about the story and if he was confirmed to be straight that’s okay too because he rlly isn’t a character who involves himself in love The only canon thing here is that capcom knows he appeals to gay men so his costumes are pretty sexy like that
Honestly Chris being gay would be an amazing addition, to the Line Up of Resident Evil Main Characters 👏🏽🩷 Jill- The Final Girl Leon- The Final Boy Ada- Asian and a Double Agent/Spy Chris- Came out as Gay and lived happy ever after with Piers Nivans
Gay or not. He definitely is more married to his work than his love life. I remember Annette Birkin saying how she and William were also more married to their work than their love life. Seems to be the same with Chris.
Not watched yet. Yes. Absolutely. He and Jill are partners, platonic and eternal best friends. Sheva very quickly becomes his (insert UK slang for cigarette here) hag. Jessica tries to flirt relentlessly with him and he just flat out ignores her efforts (girl take a hint!). He has so much tension with Wesker (who acts like an obsessive ex with him). He has a whole lot of suggestive tension with Piers, as well as little oddities like it seems like Piers answers Chris' phone when Claire calls him at the end of Revelations 2 and she acts as if thats completely normal. Add to that all the little non canon tidbits like his muscle bear leather daddy outfit, his hotpants sailor outfit. And now, to watch and see how much of that is brought up!
I agree,Chris is definitely gay but the games doesn't want to tell you . His sexuality is not important to the lore,but i want to see any flirt partner for Chris in the future
I know it just a joke video but cant help to notice tht every time same sex characters have growth in their relationship or story for even a slightest people would scream "Oh my god they're gay peope they're gay ( bi )" , and yet when its two different sex "they just friends people not everything need to be couple or the need to fcking u know". If anything jill is the perfect candidate for him after everything they've been through with chris hell bent in effort to find jill in re5 and jill sacrificing herself by tackling chad wesker to the cliff.
Okay but Piers literally blows himself up to save Chris. They also had a lot more tension in one game than Jill and Chris ever have had. Also not really valid in the RE series where you have SO MANY confirmed straight interests. You have Steve at least having a thing for Claire in Code Veronica (may not be returned, hard to say), Ada and Leon having a cat and mouse flirtation relationship, Leon flirts with Hunnigan a lot too, may even flirt with screaming dumbo? Can't recall honestly. You have Barry who's married with a couple of crotch goblins. You got Billy and Rebecca who I'm pretty sure have clear tensions or interest (Not played it through so I may be wrong there). Jake and Sherry clearly have a thing. Thats only the main characters too. Have numerous other characters who are in hetero relationships in the background. If you prefer to imagine Jill and Chris are a couple or have a thing, sure go ahead your ship's as valid as any other, but to me their relationship seems incredibly close friendship with no romantic interest. They'd absolutely die for eachother, no doubt about that. Just like Chris and Claire would die for eachother but there seems to be just as much romantic interest between them as there does with Jill and Chris.
@@SanguinaryBladefirst of all jill also sacrifice her self by tackling Wesker into a cliff knowing full well it will kill her in re5 but the god of tht universe aka writer decide both Wesker and Jill is alive. Also re5 is all about Chris finding Jill simply because the Intel he got lead him there even though it wasn't 100 percent certain, and the moment it is he ask Sheva to go back while he will find her alone, sure we can interpret it in many ways but let just say we put Leon and ada there the fandom would scream "FINALLY". Lore wise both Chris and Jill know each other far longer than pierce back when they're STARS member all the way until re6. They even joke about it in revelation showed in the video. Second ur first and last paragraph is why I make my first comment , can't have a slightest tension without everyone screaming they'll fuck although it goes both way straight or not.
@@uthopia27to add on to that Chris was willing to let the whole world die just to be with Jill (scene where Jill is freed from the mind control in RE5 and Jill tells Chris to leave and go after Wesker stating that if Chris doesn’t stop him then millions will die to which Chris says ‘Well yeah but.” the fact that Chris cracked and had a window where was genuinely not thinking of the mission since he was concerned for Jill, when he’s usually someone who puts his job first.) And in the original 1996 Resident Evil, Chris and Jill are heavily hinted at, (They share a warm embrace in Chris’s scenario if you save her without checking up on her, in the endings she lays her head on Chris’s shoulder, specifically in the 1996 version, in the Chris and Jill only ending, she rests on his shoulder, and then moves her hand towards Chris’s which was on his thigh and locks her hands with his, and then smiles looking up at Chris. Another hint also being in the ending where Jill and Barry only survive, Jill asks to Barry “your wife?” And then Barry begins to say his wife and daughters always wait for him to return, he then immediately stops and his face twists and then apologises to Jill, to which Jill responds ‘Don’t worry about that, I know he must still be alive.” Jill is talking about Chris and Barry apologises because he knew Chris and Jill cared for each other, the conversation was about family.)
I doubt it, Chris pretty much has been fighting bioterriosm for most of his life. Pretty much dedicating it to one sole purpose, to end bioterriosm. This is probably the main reason nothing has been explored for him outside of his close bond with Jill since he is pretty much the face of the entire Resident Evil Franchise. Hell even when he's literally 64 years old in "Shadows of Rose" he's still in the background watching over Rose because it's his mission. Chris' life is truly dedicated to it, but hope we get to see him settle down whenever his final game is.
I never thought of Chris as being gay. I think he has been fighting against bioterrorism for so long, he never gets a break to explore his feelings for the women around him.
For me, I always saw Nivanfield as canon. And Chris becoming a guy who isn't into dating after losing Piers. But he remained platonic with others. Idk that's how I see it
I approve. We need more masculine gay representation . Clearly Leon is a flaming hetero. Obviously gay for Ada but who the hell isn’t gay for Ada ladies and gents and the rest of yall?
He has had girlfriends in the past, as referenced by characters in revelations. I think he struggles keeping a relationship though possibly due to trauma or just being so dedicated to the war on bio terror
@@undeadzilla3394 Jessica mentions his past flings when they’re in the snow area and I think Parker says it at some point but it’s been a while, I might be mixing it up
As someone who halfway leans on that side of the spectrum No, he’s not I point to the multiple instances he’s been sweet on Jill and disinterested in everyone else As for the piers moment that i know is gonna be mentioned that scene was more a moment of “hey look at me you’re not thinking straight, we’re both gonna get out of this” And before that scene Chris was struggling mentally with the fact he might be a bad leader I think Chris and Jill have issues just being properly open about their status or maybe havent fully tied the knot yet but its clear who his interests are Or maybe on the job we’re not supposed to see just what they get up to, they’re both pretty dedicated to their jobs
@@neosdoll7954 oh look, it's another modern RE fan who make things up because of the poorly written remakes, because they were written by west writers, not the Japanese ones.
As someone who also leans half way yeah no Chris is gay as the day is long. Him and Jill seem entirely platonic. They'd die for eachother, but they're professional partners and best friends, of course they would.
I hope chris is gay. I am hetero but having a super masculine ultra profession.macho gay protagonist is a great representation. Im glad we are moving away from stereotyped characteristics indicating sexuality. 100% power top, though I'm getting a little love for this, I'll share a little story.. I am a senior psychiatric nurse (nursing, even psych, is predominately female). I worked with a secure (prison) mental health hospital with some very dangerous, unwell and violent offenders. The toughest, bravest and strongest beast of a man (6,6 built like a fucking tank, professional as anything (until you became friends and he trusted you, then he was a hilarious flirt (never overly), any nurses or any background? know you get to know colleagues and forge friendships on nighst!) was gay. This man cared about staff and patients, was African, so there were cultural taboos he had to overcome, an amateur champion boxer who cared deeply for patients and staff. If you pulled your staff assistance alarm because you were in danger, he was the vanguard.
I don't want such an old , beloved series to become woke and just for the sake of representation make THE first protagonist homo , keep that crap away from this series This series goes beyond this bs and matters more than some small group of people
Every single game since 5 Chris has stated the line "these were good men" as if he really cared. In fact, it's one of the rare instances where Chris displays some form of emotion. It's literally said in multiple games. Like this dude just cries all the time about good men dying after seeing it for the billionth time.
I think he is gay and he is my husband. lol but I do resonate the gayness with him he’s got a lot of heart and ignores Jessica’s advances. the note talking about getting girls left on the stars desk and Jill says “that doesn’t sound like Chris”
Something interesting about Chris is that even in the original RE1, his interactions with Rebecca and Jill are completely devoid of any romantic tones. Chris was worried about Becca but the tone is clearly different than she had with Billy. And even when saving Jill from imprisonment, the hug and the music choice gave it more of a platonic feeling rather than romantic. In the remake the hug lasts even less and there's no special music about it, with Jill getting straight to the point of getting out of there. Take into account the original RE3 where Carlos and Jill CLEARLY were set up to have this chemistry but Jill was not interested, yet she softened a lot after Carlos saved her (alternate cutscene, touching of the cheek). I don't even need to say that in the remake, as bad as it is, they really went all in with the romantic intentions. This is in PAST games, where comments like the "foxy ladies" from Carlos were accepted. Yet with Chris, AGAIN, in Code Veronica, mission focused, of course in that case it makes sense, her sister was on the line, but they went out of their way every time to avoid romantic settings with Chris. I could see that being intentionally part of Chris' personality, not Capcom not wanting to reveal it. Chris had to protect Claire and raised her since they were kids, orphaned. When you have to take up on the parenting role since very young it leaves no room for thinking about relationships, as time goes on and on and you get older, you realize that you're so out of the dating game that you don't even know how to act about it, you get clumsy or straight up avoid situations like that, and you realize you don't even know what you like. Some people in this role eventually do find love via sentimental and deep bonds. The one that got the closest to that is Piers, Chris definitely felt comfortable enough to not hide his emotions but Piers made him remember things he wanted to forget. I saw Chris open up way more to Piers due to their whole ordeal. I can see him being absolutely confused about relationships and being too embarrassed to ask Claire for any advice, and asking Jill, and Jill being one of her closest partners helping him figure things out little by little (it isn't like she's an expert either). They share an amazing platonic relationship. Short answer: I do believe he's not completely straight, but I also don't think he's exclusively gay. Man had it rough since childhood and we know that he got into S.T.A.R.S. thanks to Barry's recommendation because Chris had quite the temper. All attitudes matching with a man that had to step up way too young. If they do reveal their orientation eventually, I'll be fine with whatever it is. Chris is honestly super awesome that detail shouldn't matter at all.
To be honest the entire main cast gives off massive ace vibes. Like no one seems to be interested in romance lol. And that's good because this is a survival horror franchise, not a dating sim lol.
Honestly if we were living in that universe, I would feel so safe with Chris Redfield protecting us all simply BECAUSE he's not distracted by women. The man has dedicated the rest of his entire life to keep the world safe, and nothing will sway him from that.
Re is an asian franchise,so most likely not. If this was made from the west though, it's almost a default for any media or entertainment to put a gay character or couples to their franchises.
This has been theorized for years with no evidence to prove or disprove it. I feel like Capcom purposely makes it unclear I think that’s a good idea because it doesn’t matter either way.
That letter is actually heavily written in code to STARS members that he’s hot on the trail of Umbrella executives. Additionally Chris is telling Barry to stay home and keep his family safe, while he takes care of “the babes” aka “bio-weapons”
Wasn’t that the letter he left when he left for Europe on a mission? I thought that whole letter was a lie to cover his tracks since he was still investigating Umbrella.
Reads title; is Chris redfield gay? Asks myself, does it matter? Has it ever mattered, has it ever affected the game in any way what their sexuality is. No it hasn’t and no I don’t care
His main goal was to save the world from biohazards, but obviously he had chemistry with Jill and a few of the other female companions he’s had over the years, and when he thought she died prior to RE5 he might’ve tried to distance himself from anybody.. to save himself from making mistakes again, that’s why he’s so awkward with Sheva at first, and not as forthcoming with information.. plus if that wasn’t enough show of concern for Jill after the events of RE5, Death Island, and Revelations 1 - that he truly did care for his main companion since this series has started.. if anybody is to be put into question it has to be Leon, especially with how many women were going after him and being virtually a regular guy would just push away practical supermodels and super spies..
@@Commodore22345which games? im only going off from this video and the re games ive played. the video mentions that cut dialogue from lost in nightmares but it was cut who knows why. but im curious to know the games that talk about his one night stand with women
Wouldn’t exactly say it’s a straight thing, most people call the theory stupid because Jill exists, as someone who’s bisexual I can see Chris being bisexual or straight but not fully gay, plus if we’re calling every scene with Chris and Jill just the’ being platonic friends, than we have to say the same for Chris and Piers because their scenes could be seen as platonic.
Bruh, he went through that because of a mission, he didn’t even knew she survived. Also he goes through that for many years and care for all his partners, he had more chemistry with Piers than Jill, she seems like a sister to him
"when wesker kidnapped jill" That's not canon. The whole "the character you don't choose to play as is kidnapped" thing was just a gameplay mechanic. In the official timeline and lore though, it says both Chris and Jill were running around the mansion and doing their respective stories. That's why RE1 (and it's remake) is the only Resident Evil game where it is impossible to do a fully canon playthrough.
I mean if anything you can make the argument he’s bisexual but not that he’s gay. Chris is either straight or bisexual. He and Jill being together makes more sense if you look at games like RE5, Revelations, RE1R, as well as many more hints in the original RE1.
I'd like to think Chris is either asexual or he avoids getting into romantic relationships for fear of hurting his partner considering what his job entails. If it's the latter I'd say he could swing either way or even both since the game has been pretty ambiguous on that.
i can confirm chris is gay, he told me
Makes me love Chris even more ❤

There’s so many interesting things that could be said and done with his character if it were confirmed.
-He could have been outed and kicked out of the airforce.
-He could have had a secret crush on Wesker before Re1 and the reason he despises Wesker now is because he is disgusted he used to have a crush on him. And who knows maybe Wesker somewhat reciprocated those feelings and that’s why he has a soft spot/obsession with Chris even though he would rather die than admit it.
- It would just make Chris and Piers relationship that much more meaningful.

I've never known a video game character to give off closeted gay vibes as much as chris does. So yeah, he gay and I'm all for it
that thumbnail is one of the best re pictures ever
Some additional clues - he appears to be a fan of the band ‘Queen’; the only special stylus interaction in the 3DS game are if you touch his hair (which he fusses with) or butt; and his early appearance and backstory as a rebellious Air Force pilot could be seen as loosely inspired by the Top Gun protagonist played by Tom Cruise, who is also widely speculated to be a closeted gay. (Perhaps when that’s your source material, art imitates life 😝)
I also think his lack of onscreen heterosexual interest is more conspicuous than mentioned here. Virtually all other series protagonists have onscreen flirtation or romantic chemistry at some point; even Jill Valentine in RE5 takes all of five seconds after being freed for Josh Stone to hit on her, which she appreciates enough to seemingly immediately reciprocate some degree of interest-which erodes the argument that the reason she and Chris never flirt is because of professionalism between colleagues.

@@GR4YS0NN ok sweetie
Chris is most likely gay and that’s okay lol, it doesn’t really change anything about the story and if he was confirmed to be straight that’s okay too because he rlly isn’t a character who involves himself in love
The only canon thing here is that capcom knows he appeals to gay men so his costumes are pretty sexy like that
Honestly Chris being gay would be an amazing addition, to the Line Up of Resident Evil Main Characters 👏🏽🩷
Jill- The Final Girl
Leon- The Final Boy
Ada- Asian and a Double Agent/Spy
Chris- Came out as Gay and lived happy ever after with Piers Nivans
Sht yo woke ahhh up. Capcom isn't going woke anytime soon.
Chris will never be gay nor does he need to be gay the games are doing just fine without the gay agenda 😂
@@bolg892 what does woke mean?
@@bolg892so hostile lmao
Ehhhh... Isn't Piers dead?
Gay or not. He definitely is more married to his work than his love life. I remember Annette Birkin saying how she and William were also more married to their work than their love life. Seems to be the same with Chris.
If Chris is gay my headcannon is that Parker and Him would make a great couple.
Nah. Capcom doesn't f with none of that gay shi.
@@bolg892you say that but then he’s dressed very flamboyantly in the alt costumes??
Oh he absolutely is at *least* bi. By the way thank you for doing the important work of including the "Chris in UBCS briefs" mod in this video 😍😍😍
Hell no he ain’t bi,quit ruining his character
@@Manhunt811 thinking that saying someone is bi is "ruining their character" says more about you than anything else, doofus
he las zero interest in any man of the franchise lol!
@@elderleon1844 he's literally a fictional character, you chud
@@Manhunt811ong these people are so desperate to make someone gay or bi for no reason
Not watched yet. Yes. Absolutely. He and Jill are partners, platonic and eternal best friends. Sheva very quickly becomes his (insert UK slang for cigarette here) hag. Jessica tries to flirt relentlessly with him and he just flat out ignores her efforts (girl take a hint!). He has so much tension with Wesker (who acts like an obsessive ex with him). He has a whole lot of suggestive tension with Piers, as well as little oddities like it seems like Piers answers Chris' phone when Claire calls him at the end of Revelations 2 and she acts as if thats completely normal.
Add to that all the little non canon tidbits like his muscle bear leather daddy outfit, his hotpants sailor outfit.
And now, to watch and see how much of that is brought up!
That sailor outfit is all the proof i need and puppy Piers line is just icing on the cake. Honestly good for chris.
I agree,Chris is definitely gay but the games doesn't want to tell you .
His sexuality is not important to the lore,but i want to see any flirt partner for Chris in the future
meanwhile, claire/steve, leon/ada, Leon/angela were important for the role
I know it just a joke video but cant help to notice tht every time same sex characters have growth in their relationship or story for even a slightest people would scream "Oh my god they're gay peope they're gay ( bi )" , and yet when its two different sex "they just friends people not everything need to be couple or the need to fcking u know".
If anything jill is the perfect candidate for him after everything they've been through with chris hell bent in effort to find jill in re5 and jill sacrificing herself by tackling chad wesker to the cliff.
Okay but Piers literally blows himself up to save Chris. They also had a lot more tension in one game than Jill and Chris ever have had.
Also not really valid in the RE series where you have SO MANY confirmed straight interests. You have Steve at least having a thing for Claire in Code Veronica (may not be returned, hard to say), Ada and Leon having a cat and mouse flirtation relationship, Leon flirts with Hunnigan a lot too, may even flirt with screaming dumbo? Can't recall honestly. You have Barry who's married with a couple of crotch goblins. You got Billy and Rebecca who I'm pretty sure have clear tensions or interest (Not played it through so I may be wrong there). Jake and Sherry clearly have a thing.
Thats only the main characters too. Have numerous other characters who are in hetero relationships in the background.
If you prefer to imagine Jill and Chris are a couple or have a thing, sure go ahead your ship's as valid as any other, but to me their relationship seems incredibly close friendship with no romantic interest. They'd absolutely die for eachother, no doubt about that. Just like Chris and Claire would die for eachother but there seems to be just as much romantic interest between them as there does with Jill and Chris.
@@SanguinaryBladefirst of all jill also sacrifice her self by tackling Wesker into a cliff knowing full well it will kill her in re5 but the god of tht universe aka writer decide both Wesker and Jill is alive. Also re5 is all about Chris finding Jill simply because the Intel he got lead him there even though it wasn't 100 percent certain, and the moment it is he ask Sheva to go back while he will find her alone, sure we can interpret it in many ways but let just say we put Leon and ada there the fandom would scream "FINALLY".
Lore wise both Chris and Jill know each other far longer than pierce back when they're STARS member all the way until re6. They even joke about it in revelation showed in the video.
Second ur first and last paragraph is why I make my first comment , can't have a slightest tension without everyone screaming they'll fuck although it goes both way straight or not.
@@uthopia27to add on to that Chris was willing to let the whole world die just to be with Jill (scene where Jill is freed from the mind control in RE5 and Jill tells Chris to leave and go after Wesker stating that if Chris doesn’t stop him then millions will die to which Chris says ‘Well yeah but.” the fact that Chris cracked and had a window where was genuinely not thinking of the mission since he was concerned for Jill, when he’s usually someone who puts his job first.) And in the original 1996 Resident Evil, Chris and Jill are heavily hinted at, (They share a warm embrace in Chris’s scenario if you save her without checking up on her, in the endings she lays her head on Chris’s shoulder, specifically in the 1996 version, in the Chris and Jill only ending, she rests on his shoulder, and then moves her hand towards Chris’s which was on his thigh and locks her hands with his, and then smiles looking up at Chris. Another hint also being in the ending where Jill and Barry only survive, Jill asks to Barry “your wife?” And then Barry begins to say his wife and daughters always wait for him to return, he then immediately stops and his face twists and then apologises to Jill, to which Jill responds ‘Don’t worry about that, I know he must still be alive.” Jill is talking about Chris and Barry apologises because he knew Chris and Jill cared for each other, the conversation was about family.)
And also piers was gonna die so they would much rather a dude die than a woman because we all know Jill was supposed to be his partner that game
@@marquiswolf2766 Source? I'd have loved to have had Jill in RE6 if that was ever the plan I'm sad they didn't go through with it.
I can't... I don't... No... I don't belive it -Lucas, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard quotes
I doubt it, Chris pretty much has been fighting bioterriosm for most of his life. Pretty much dedicating it to one sole purpose, to end bioterriosm. This is probably the main reason nothing has been explored for him outside of his close bond with Jill since he is pretty much the face of the entire Resident Evil Franchise. Hell even when he's literally 64 years old in "Shadows of Rose" he's still in the background watching over Rose because it's his mission. Chris' life is truly dedicated to it, but hope we get to see him settle down whenever his final game is.
0:27 ''shirtless weirdo'' imagine calling wesker weirdo
I don't think Chris is gay capcom is just not focused on showing romantic relationships on resident evil games
Leon x Any female character within a 10 mile radius says so otherwise.
Cap ... Leon ada. Sherry birkin Leon with Claire Ashley , Ethan his wife...
So real
Nah, he is definetely Gay he had more sexual tensión with Piers than with any other
They should, Chris and all characters are getting old we can see that in games, but we don't know anything about their personal life
I never thought of Chris as being gay. I think he has been fighting against bioterrorism for so long, he never gets a break to explore his feelings for the women around him.
For me, I always saw Nivanfield as canon. And Chris becoming a guy who isn't into dating after losing Piers. But he remained platonic with others. Idk that's how I see it
Chris gay super chad
I approve. We need more masculine gay representation . Clearly Leon is a flaming hetero. Obviously gay for Ada but who the hell isn’t gay for Ada ladies and gents and the rest of yall?
"We need more masculine gay representation"
Why?
@@Commodore22345 cuz gay people arent all a walking stereotype, my friend!
I think this is a very important question thanks for inciting the discussion
Makes sense, I mean, with all those men in the games lookin like that? Who wouldn’t
He has had girlfriends in the past, as referenced by characters in revelations. I think he struggles keeping a relationship though possibly due to trauma or just being so dedicated to the war on bio terror
Has he? I don't remember any reference from Revelations other than the "Maybe he's already taken, Jessica" line.
@@undeadzilla3394 Jessica mentions his past flings when they’re in the snow area and I think Parker says it at some point but it’s been a while, I might be mixing it up
Well Wentworth Miller said that Chris was gay in the movies.
i have the biggest crush on chris so thank you for this
Saaaame
As someone who halfway leans on that side of the spectrum
No, he’s not
I point to the multiple instances he’s been sweet on Jill and disinterested in everyone else
As for the piers moment that i know is gonna be mentioned that scene was more a moment of “hey look at me you’re not thinking straight, we’re both gonna get out of this”
And before that scene Chris was struggling mentally with the fact he might be a bad leader
I think Chris and Jill have issues just being properly open about their status or maybe havent fully tied the knot yet but its clear who his interests are
Or maybe on the job we’re not supposed to see just what they get up to, they’re both pretty dedicated to their jobs
This!
to bad jills lesbian
@@neosdoll7954 oh look, it's another modern RE fan who make things up because of the poorly written remakes, because they were written by west writers, not the Japanese ones.
@@neosdoll7954 prove it or you are lying
As someone who also leans half way yeah no Chris is gay as the day is long. Him and Jill seem entirely platonic. They'd die for eachother, but they're professional partners and best friends, of course they would.
What about the player of the game though? Is he gay? Now there is a good question.
I hope chris is gay. I am hetero but having a super masculine ultra profession.macho gay protagonist is a great representation.
Im glad we are moving away from stereotyped characteristics indicating sexuality.
100% power top, though
I'm getting a little love for this, I'll share a little story.. I am a senior psychiatric nurse (nursing, even psych, is predominately female). I worked with a secure (prison) mental health hospital with some very dangerous, unwell and violent offenders. The toughest, bravest and strongest beast of a man (6,6 built like a fucking tank, professional as anything (until you became friends and he trusted you, then he was a hilarious flirt (never overly), any nurses or any background? know you get to know colleagues and forge friendships on nighst!) was gay.
This man cared about staff and patients, was African, so there were cultural taboos he had to overcome, an amateur champion boxer who cared deeply for patients and staff. If you pulled your staff assistance alarm because you were in danger, he was the vanguard.
I don't want such an old , beloved series to become woke and just for the sake of representation make THE first protagonist homo , keep that crap away from this series
This series goes beyond this bs and matters more than some small group of people
Bro if Chris is gay I’m going to crash out
@@HoldenHeath mate...wesker is a jilted lover
@@HoldenHeath
I'm praying Chris redfield is gay, he's my top fantasy since then. He's husband material definitely
I gotta disagree.
Chris is clearly a power bottom.
He is not gay he Just want Leon to continúe the Redfields Bloodline with his syster Clarie, he cant do it with Jill because they are just friends.
Every single game since 5 Chris has stated the line "these were good men" as if he really cared. In fact, it's one of the rare instances where Chris displays some form of emotion. It's literally said in multiple games. Like this dude just cries all the time about good men dying after seeing it for the billionth time.
The man is not gay, he just has a laser focus on more important things like saving the world from crazy mad scientists and their insane creations😅😅
Exactly it's to hide what's inside.😗🤫🤣🤣🤣
Ik why does everybody have to make every video game characters now gay or lesbian it’s so annoying
@xtra_gaming7801 yeah it is annoying.like why would we want to know about their sexuality
@@ComplexJonez45234 ik like it’s so annoying bc most of the time it’s not even related to the plot
come on guys, use your brains here. its a joke
I think he is gay and he is my husband. lol but I do resonate the gayness with him he’s got a lot of heart and ignores Jessica’s advances. the note talking about getting girls left on the stars desk and Jill says “that doesn’t sound like Chris”
Something interesting about Chris is that even in the original RE1, his interactions with Rebecca and Jill are completely devoid of any romantic tones. Chris was worried about Becca but the tone is clearly different than she had with Billy. And even when saving Jill from imprisonment, the hug and the music choice gave it more of a platonic feeling rather than romantic. In the remake the hug lasts even less and there's no special music about it, with Jill getting straight to the point of getting out of there.
Take into account the original RE3 where Carlos and Jill CLEARLY were set up to have this chemistry but Jill was not interested, yet she softened a lot after Carlos saved her (alternate cutscene, touching of the cheek). I don't even need to say that in the remake, as bad as it is, they really went all in with the romantic intentions.
This is in PAST games, where comments like the "foxy ladies" from Carlos were accepted. Yet with Chris, AGAIN, in Code Veronica, mission focused, of course in that case it makes sense, her sister was on the line, but they went out of their way every time to avoid romantic settings with Chris.
I could see that being intentionally part of Chris' personality, not Capcom not wanting to reveal it. Chris had to protect Claire and raised her since they were kids, orphaned. When you have to take up on the parenting role since very young it leaves no room for thinking about relationships, as time goes on and on and you get older, you realize that you're so out of the dating game that you don't even know how to act about it, you get clumsy or straight up avoid situations like that, and you realize you don't even know what you like. Some people in this role eventually do find love via sentimental and deep bonds.
The one that got the closest to that is Piers, Chris definitely felt comfortable enough to not hide his emotions but Piers made him remember things he wanted to forget. I saw Chris open up way more to Piers due to their whole ordeal.
I can see him being absolutely confused about relationships and being too embarrassed to ask Claire for any advice, and asking Jill, and Jill being one of her closest partners helping him figure things out little by little (it isn't like she's an expert either). They share an amazing platonic relationship.
Short answer: I do believe he's not completely straight, but I also don't think he's exclusively gay. Man had it rough since childhood and we know that he got into S.T.A.R.S. thanks to Barry's recommendation because Chris had quite the temper. All attitudes matching with a man that had to step up way too young. If they do reveal their orientation eventually, I'll be fine with whatever it is. Chris is honestly super awesome that detail shouldn't matter at all.
I have it on good authority that all resident evil characters are gay, including the zombies
Capcom is a Japanese company.
They don't pull the "Quirky unique US culture" there.
.... do you think gay people only exist in the US?
To be honest the entire main cast gives off massive ace vibes. Like no one seems to be interested in romance lol. And that's good because this is a survival horror franchise, not a dating sim lol.
This is still the best video ever. Yes. Yes Chris is gay af (real)
Honestly if we were living in that universe, I would feel so safe with Chris Redfield protecting us all simply BECAUSE he's not distracted by women. The man has dedicated the rest of his entire life to keep the world safe, and nothing will sway him from that.
Him and piers were together. It's very obvious
Jun Takeuchi already confirmed Chris and Jill are romantically involved

Could be bi with a preference for guys.... BUT ultimately went for Jill?
Jill is a lesbian
@@CheatsythePimp2No Chris is not gay.

@@CheatsythePimp2 He's straight, get it through.
6:20 I also cry everytime, bro. I hated that you showed that scene. Brilliant video, though.
From fanarts I´ve seen of Chris with Piers or Leon in the internet, most of the fanbase seems to believe so
It's not "most of the fanbase". It's a few degenerate "artists" who live out their own degenerate fantasies by drawing porn.
the bloodline must continue
No wonder I was so obsessed with him as a teen
Ayo
Chris is saving himself for his true love
The re1 boulder
I mentioned this in my chris video recently to… mixed results 😂
Expected much worse reception tbh 😅
At the least might BE Bi, how greedy lol!!!
I think seriously, in his line of work, Chris would prefer not to be hurt/hurt others, so he doesn't even see love as a possibility
Mostly only one I see Chris getting with is jill Valentine. Just my opinion
I've never given a single thought about Chris' sexuality. Now if he's turns out to be straight in the future I'll riot
His alternative outfits on RE5 and RE Revelations tells me what I need to know.
Re is an asian franchise,so most likely not. If this was made from the west though, it's almost a default for any media or entertainment to put a gay character or couples to their franchises.
Yeah, it's a shame. I thought parades and Lady Gaga were enough
And that’s why I always go for Asian games.
Yup. Asian game companies are just better because they know what players want and don't feel the need to force a woke narrative.
Thank goodness none of the main characters are gay or bi because that would be stupid to do that
Okay but I would have a 3sum with both Chris and Carlos( re3 remake with shaggy long hair and his hot beard)
Chris, carlos and Parker ❤
omg 😩
This has been theorized for years with no evidence to prove or disprove it. I feel like Capcom purposely makes it unclear I think that’s a good idea because it doesn’t matter either way.
It’s an inside joke to them. Theres a reason they always put him in skimpy outfits
@@Doyouandshutupskimpy??
@@Doyouandshutupwhat cannon skimpy outfit has Chris wore in any RE game?
@@marquiswolf2766 No one said they were canon but they do exist for a reason.
@@BoutikiDon’t pretend you don’t know about the leather BDSM daddy outfit in RE5 lol
Yes he is ❤
In Resident Evil 3 Remake he left a letter for STARS saying he just came back from a date with a girl and says to Barry “leave all the babes to me”
That does not sound like Chris - Claire Redfield
That letter is actually heavily written in code to STARS members that he’s hot on the trail of Umbrella executives. Additionally Chris is telling Barry to stay home and keep his family safe, while he takes care of “the babes” aka “bio-weapons”
Wasn’t that the letter he left when he left for Europe on a mission? I thought that whole letter was a lie to cover his tracks since he was still investigating Umbrella.
@@PilarMcfly Cope harder. He's married to Jill in the lore. Womp womp buddy.
These gay people wanna ruin RE
You really gotta do my man Leon like that Put some respect on his name 1:35
I think Chris and Carlos are in love with Jill, either that or her and Chris are just really good friends, he is not gay
I only know of one confirmed gay character in Resident Evil and that’s Crispin Jettingham aka Dee-Ay from Operation Raccoon City.
Nah man, he's just become sterile from the amount of steroids he used before RE5
Steroids turn men gay
Reads title; is Chris redfield gay? Asks myself, does it matter? Has it ever mattered, has it ever affected the game in any way what their sexuality is. No it hasn’t and no I don’t care
It matters to the gays who feel the need to project their sexual fetishes onto everything.
His main goal was to save the world from biohazards, but obviously he had chemistry with Jill and a few of the other female companions he’s had over the years, and when he thought she died prior to RE5 he might’ve tried to distance himself from anybody.. to save himself from making mistakes again, that’s why he’s so awkward with Sheva at first, and not as forthcoming with information.. plus if that wasn’t enough show of concern for Jill after the events of RE5, Death Island, and Revelations 1 - that he truly did care for his main companion since this series has started.. if anybody is to be put into question it has to be Leon, especially with how many women were going after him and being virtually a regular guy would just push away practical supermodels and super spies..
i really always got gay vibes from him especially his connection with piers. it just makes sense tbh
Except it doesn't make sense when there are several in game references to him having one night stands with women and never with men. He's not gay.
@@Commodore22345which games? im only going off from this video and the re games ive played. the video mentions that cut dialogue from lost in nightmares but it was cut who knows why. but im curious to know the games that talk about his one night stand with women
If he is it's none of my business. Chris is a gay icon and Leon is a great lesbian icon as well
Love reading the comments. The straights are so pressed with this theory 😂
Wouldn’t exactly say it’s a straight thing, most people call the theory stupid because Jill exists, as someone who’s bisexual I can see Chris being bisexual or straight but not fully gay, plus if we’re calling every scene with Chris and Jill just the’ being platonic friends, than we have to say the same for Chris and Piers because their scenes could be seen as platonic.
And the gays hoping for something that will never happen 😂
Chris is not gay. He’s in love with Jill Valentine because who will go through that much hell and resident evil five that Chris did to save Jill
Bruh, he went through that because of a mission, he didn’t even knew she survived. Also he goes through that for many years and care for all his partners, he had more chemistry with Piers than Jill, she seems like a sister to him
Chris is like the most popular 3d game model in 3d p0rn. So it even makes this more relevant.
Chris Redfield was also played by Wentworth Miller in that one live action movie he was in.
"Watching netflix without the subscription"
😂
I always thought that when wesker kidnapped jill in re1 that he did something with jill sexually.
"when wesker kidnapped jill"
That's not canon. The whole "the character you don't choose to play as is kidnapped" thing was just a gameplay mechanic. In the official timeline and lore though, it says both Chris and Jill were running around the mansion and doing their respective stories. That's why RE1 (and it's remake) is the only Resident Evil game where it is impossible to do a fully canon playthrough.
I FOUND MY COMMUNITY!!!
That RE5 DLC line about young girls was always there on the Ps3 version and it could be triggered.
finally, someone said it
This theory is far fetched theirs more evinced to suggests he's ASexual this man isn't interested in nothing but his job and saving the world.
Absolutely ridiculous. Everyone knows Chris has eyes for his boulder and no one else.
I mean if anything you can make the argument he’s bisexual but not that he’s gay. Chris is either straight or bisexual. He and Jill being together makes more sense if you look at games like RE5, Revelations, RE1R, as well as many more hints in the original RE1.
Just looks how Chris is with big, large, round rocks, that should be evidence enough imo
We need a vid about Wesker and Chris
I'd like to think Chris is either asexual or he avoids getting into romantic relationships for fear of hurting his partner considering what his job entails. If it's the latter I'd say he could swing either way or even both since the game has been pretty ambiguous on that.
