00:00Silent Hill F writer Ryukishi07 says women are scary, and that's just a beautiful thing.
00:05While talking to GamesRadar, the creator began by saying these are my personal opinions,
00:08so allow me to apologise in advance if my answers seem off.
00:11My understanding is that the horror fanbase turns to skew towards men, and in the eyes
00:15of men, the opposite sets can be something that conjures in them a variety of contrasting
00:19emotions.
00:20From endearing to terrifying, says Ryukishi07.
00:22I feel that women are often featured in Japanese horror as characters or themes because the
00:26emotions that surface as a result of their existence becomes the source of intricate drama.
00:30This certainly tracks with Silent Hill F depictions of femininity.
00:33For me personally, the opposite sex is something that I respect, revere, befriend and fear.
00:38Something that I am enamoured with, forever scared of, yet fascinated by, Ryukishi07 explains.
00:43To this day, I have penned severed stories that fall under the horror umbrella, but not one
00:47I would have been able to complete without the existence of women.
00:49He concludes, working on themes based around women is, to me, the greatest act of respect
00:54that I can dedicate to them.
