you heard of "hating female characters for traits people would find interesting and morally grey in male characters", now get ready for "calling female characters annoying for traits they would consider interesting or quirky in a male character" and its twin sibling "accusing a female character of 'holding grudges' and 'being selfish/unforgiving' over something that people would consider 'traumatised' and 'still feeling hurt' in a male character"

Everyone, let’s gaslight producers into making this canon for the BCU.
The rivalry between William Birkin and Alexia Ashford is one of the funniest things in RE. He’s 9 years older than she is. So when Alexia became the head researcher in the Antarctica base at the age of 10, Birkin was 19. An adult man is pissed because a kid is smarter than he is. Ultimately, his anger turns into hatred and an obsession to prove that he is the most intelligent child prodigy and that his research is better than hers.
It gets even better. In 1983 Alexia was officially declared dead . Birkin got what he wanted. He is the smartest of them all again. But Birkin is just like “I’ll ignore that”, then continues his obsessive rivalry, now without a rival! Sometime after discovering the G-virus, Birkin wrote: “I can’t wait to see the look on Alexia’s annoying face when I finally announce my research. But unfortunately, I’ll have to wait a few more years to completely verify my findings.” The G-virus was discovered in 1988, 5 years after Alexia’s alleged demise. Unless he knew that she faked her death, what wanted Birkin to do? Dig up her corpse and discuss with a skeleton how much better his virus is?
What’s even funnier is the fact that Alexia never mentioned him anywhere. She sees herself as the pinnacle of the human race and others as her slaves. This makes it very well possible that their rivalry is purely one-sided, and she couldn’t care less about Birkin. He isn’t even worth her attention.
