I wrote this blog post about the "Damsel in Distress" trope and how I used it in my game, some spoilers, so be warned, but it's basically my "Take That" to everyone who has watched Anita Sarkeesian's still incomplete "Tropes vs. Women" series and swallowed that malarkey about how the Damsel In Distress trope is automatically bad because it disempowers women and and serves as a male empowerment fantasy.
I thought that logic was idiotically flawed from a troping and a feminist perspective, and since I'm both a troper and a feminist, I decided to show why that logic is flawed based on how I used it in my own game, but I don't mind if anyone disagrees:
