    Perhaps one day I’ll stop finding examples of the Damsel in Distress in gaming. The Battle of Olympus, NES circa 1989 http://tropesversuswomen.tumblr.com/post/77882363685/helene-the-battle-of-olympus-1989 …

        @femfreq It’s harder to find examples where these tropes are actually absent, and that depresses me.

        @femfreq is Helen the original damsel in distress? This find made me wonder if there's any literary antecedent for her.

        @RichStanton @femfreq just chilling in Egypt. So, even the Greeks were tired of this trope 2,500 years ago and tried to spice it up.

        @femfreq Perhaps you should start looking at some games that aren't from 1989

        @femfreq perhaps one day, you'll stop using near 30 year old games as a standard today.

        @femfreq Perhaps, you can look to start your own dev team to show the market a new idea, instead of playing the damsel in distress yourself?
