Tropes Vs Women 2 - Damsels In Distress Part Two : Circular Arguments Strike Back

I think you're missing the point of a trope. It's a familiar and appealing story pattern that's easy to create variations on. As usual the only people getting outraged are the progressives that take everything too seriously.



It's kinda long but yes.

The problem is that you see the tropes of women being used as token storytelling tools, some of which involve brutalizing women, and say that that's appealing. Why the pineapple is that appealing?! What is god damn appealing about seeing a defenseless woman get tortured?

These tropes aren't going to make gamers of any intelligence level change their perception of women because this is already how society thinks of women. A lot of men going out to bars think that getting a woman in bed so they can get laid is the ultimate prize. A lot of people on the internet think that because they are nice to a girl, they deserve the girl. Video game tropes aren't building the subconscious idea that women are a prize, possession or a tool because that's already there.
