        @femfreq If we genderswitch the trope, what's the male equivalent of damsel? (know the word in French but can't find an english trans)

        @femfreq Someone should make a game where the helpless princess has already freed herself and killed the bad guy when you get to her.

        @femfreq Pretty sure "helpless princess" was the first clue there.

        @femfreq I can agree with that, it's the same thing, still the same plotdevice, The only thing that differs is the point of view.

        @femfreq Though I'd say that the princess in that case is reduced to even more of an object for the trope.

        @femfreq i like how the question implies that in a trope about a DAMSEL all that matters is the intention of the man. By which I mean *punt*

        @AndrewRyan239 @femfreq Q: Possible that overuse of trope as characterization replacement gives insight into how men and women are regarded?
