After watching the
damsel in distress part:1 tropes versus women in video games, The video speaks,
for the most part on the way women are portrayed in video games, of course. She
starts on speaking about a woman character by the name of Crystal who was a
hero but unfortunately, we were never able to play the game because it wasn't
the final draft we could say. The game is at its final draft and has been
played but they have been some major changes. One being that Crystal, the
female character is now no longer the main hero, but she is now the damsel in
distress stuck in an ice crystal who needs to be saved by the new hero whom
which is a man.
Crystal is in a
different outfit which is much skimpier than when she was the main hero.
This video has
influenced my thinking on the particular area she was discussing in many
different ways. One being that, woman and cultures I seem to be as weak
physically, weak emotionally, although not so much weak mentally. These traits
can Portray woman to be helpless, which plays a big part in the damsel in
distress. And it is now known in my eyes, that women are in fact being
'robbed' at the chance to be heroes.
