You see feminists argue that female characters who wear make-up are loveualized.

The vid brings up a point that can be argued.
Who in the world would not go after the princess, regardless of whether she can defend herself or not.
It's even proved in many movies and shows that no matter how strong the prisoner is in any given situation, he or she can't do it alone.

Radical feminists argue that, and they don't mean blush they mean blue eye shadow and red lipstick and stuff that make women look like strippers.
It's funny how people instantly assume all feminists are radical matriarchal feminists. Same thing with all republicans are gun toting nut jobs and all democrats are tree hugging gay men. We know these are not true and yet we perpetuate these stereotypes so we can easily dismiss their points as soon as they conflict our own.
Once thing I agree is that the damsel thing often could be said that yes, it's impossible to escape from the clutches if your captor, but it has to do more with the fact that these characters are nothing but faceless items for you to collect. Especially now, with the level of story we an accomplish in a game, it's not necessary.
