When was the last time this trope was sincerely used in western vidya? I don't even remember anymore. Also, what's wrong with this trope again? Other than being overused in the past, it gave enough incentive for the male hero to risk his life through trials and tribulations in a quest for sex, love, and family.
>>738054349Does this include European games?Because I remember a quest in KCD where you had to travel far to save a girlRDR2 also had an encounter where you would shoot a kidnapper
>>738054349in metaphor refantazio there are a few missions like that
>>738054349Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
It’s not just games. D-I-D scenes have largely disappeared from films and tv shows as well Sad

>>738054349Because monogamous faithful relationships are the outlier, cuckoldry and sexual immorality has been the norm throughout human history. That makes you the weird one for rejecting it
>>738055396>t. cuck
>sex, love, and family.Completey selfish incentives the hero should have higher goals than that.
>>738054349Spiderman 2 technically but that is more you helping mj help herself to get rid off the symbiote. >>738054613>metaphor>westernAnon I...
He should rescue her because he's a good person and wants nothing in return
>>738056001Wanting nothing in return is not goodness. It is foolishness as it: >A) lessens the value of the heroic act >B) lessens the value of the person who achieved the heroic act >C) creates incentives for people to become ungrateful for heroic actsThis does not mean that the woman should put out just because the hero saved her. However, the hero should be rewarded to the extent of understanding that the person who they helped feels gratitude towards them.
>>738054349The damsel in distress trope caused a pump in value for women since you have a guy going through life altering danger to save a woman, it's not the good thing you think it is cause it sends a bad message to the youth
>>738056331>lessens the valueThis shouldn't be transactional
>>738055017Salsa?
>>738056508Value doesn't mean transacrional. For example, Military awards have a different value from one another despite them not being something that people trade for resources/ money/goods.
>>738054349>sincerely usedThe trope has never been used sincerely. Ever.
>>738055396Not in white countries, Rajesh
