Sounds to me like you had too high expectations for this game. They did not live up to them, and naturally that makes you angry at the game. So i bet you´re not alone in this.
I like RE a lot too. But i have zero interest in this one. I know i would have a miserable time playing it from the things i have seen, read and heard.
It´s a dumb action game, and from what i can gather thats why quite a lot like it too.
I really don't get this desire to completely identify with the player character, which is probably one of the main reasons I hate silent protagonists. I never actually feel like I am the main character in a game, I always view it more like I am guiding the main character through the story.
The reason I often choose a female character when given the option is simply because the majority of games star men, and it's a nice change of pace. It has absolutely nothing to do some desire to dominate women or to myself become one, it's because I find stories with female protagonists much more interesting in this medium where it's a rarity.
This is pretty much my stance on this subject as well.
I will also add that it comes down to how the game presents the protagonist do they have stats or gear that is better for my play style. Or like let´s say in terms of Monster Hunter World i found the armor pieces where better designed for the male character then the female model. So in that case that was my one criteria for picking that option.
Or another example is AC Odyssey, the male characters voice was to terrible to me, that the female version was my only option for actually enjoying that game. Also turned out the voice actor in general was just way better at reading her lines.
Yeah was a nice little surprise when i saw his name in the title earlier today.
