        @femfreq I hope your feminism exploitation leads to profit for you someday. Being the face of the bellyachers. How about you knock it off?

        @femfreq You realize the allegory of the damsel in distress is old as time. Proving to the woman the man is worthy of her vagina.

        @awesomonster @femfreq Yes. You have to play pinball to save a lady from the Devil, clearly.

        @femfreq Wouldn't it be nice if we also had a list of good games that do not use this trope?

        @femfreq Very good. I always hated the damsel in distress plot device. It makes woman look weak, which is stupid and not true.
