    Still finding more Damsel in Distress examples. We have now posted 390 video games that use the trope on our Tumblr: http://tropesversuswomen.tumblr.com/

        @femfreq would a tumblr page featuring "men being shot" - something in thousands of video games - be evidence of misandry? why or why not?

        @femfreq Instead of focusing on the negative treatment of women in games you'll never play, focus on games with positive female characters.

        @Stoneth @femfreq critique is a valid way of helping more awesome, positive games be made, so there are more games to play, I think.

        @femfreq Just out of curiosity since the trope is not video game exclusive: How many modern novels are on the list?

        @femfreq Have you seen Götzendiener? Has flaws in representation (mostly due to male gaze) but nice attempt at subverting the damsel trope.

        @femfreq In fact, I feel Damsel in Distress can easily backfire if the damsel in question isn't well defined or made important to the player

        @femfreq Natalya from Goldeneye64 was also horrible from a design perspective, broke the game flow and ended up hating rather than caring...
