Hello lonely readers, I want to talk to you to day about a very
serious problem plaguing our favourite fictional universes: the damsel in
distress. You know the girl she’s beautiful and nice and small animals flock to
her when she sings. She’s generally a joy to be around. The problem is that
she’s constantly getting herself kidnapped and locked in a tower and/or tied to
a train track. This results in an extreme level of manpain and the
overpopulation of white male heroes. While manpain driven hero narratives are
okay in moderation, in abundance they can be really fricken annoying, not to
mention problematic but we’ll get to that first let’s talk about the damsel in
distress.
