“Ed Tech” is a Cancer That Threatens the Entire Gaming Industry
For several years now, there’s been many calls for a reform of our public educational system. Articles pointing out the flaws of our public schools have appeared on plenty of blogs, like Huffington Post and The Daily Beast. Why, Donald Trump even talked about pushing for educational reform when he’s elected president.
Why I Like Damsels in Distress
The damsel in distress is one of the most criticized tropes in the modern era. It is considered the ultimate misogyny, and creators often apologize for using it by claiming that the damsel is “strong” and “not a helpless woman,” or by making the damsel match or outclass the male hero in some skill. Creators often avoid this trope to establish their modern, 21st-century street cred.
Well, I’m here to say that I’m a great fan of this supposedly evil trope, no matter how it is done. It pains me to watch creators squirm whenever they’re attacked for writing damsels; they should stand by their work.
