        @DanLikesPizza It's when the female character, usually a love interest, is killed to make a male one more "interesting"

        @DanLikesPizza @MaxwellElvis there was a comic of the Flash where he finds his dead girlfriend in a refrigerator. For the pathos. Obviously.

        @femfreq Is there any context to this? Is this woman named? A PCs girlfriend? Why did those red splotches leave her and her clothes clean?

        @femfreq so should stories never involve a loved one dying? For motivation or emotional appeal?

        @femfreq "SADNESS, AND REVENGE" is a meme that needs to be created.

        @femfreq The bare boned snapshot storytelling of arcade games really makes them perfect examples for explaining tropes.
