Via Daniel Swensen, who got it from Lisa Cohen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pop culture seems to have got halfway away from the Damsel In Distress trope, making female characters competent – but not competent enough to save themselves. That’s still the man’s job, even though he’s less competent than they are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I (and Daniel and Lisa) deliberately set out to subvert this, by making competent women protagonists who save themselves – and, sometimes, the men – and defeat the villains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
