| Jan 22 at 18:01 | comment | added | Crazymoomin | @EngineerToast That's a fair point if the OP is planning on something with a more realistic social environment, though I think it could have been phrased a lot less like a rant about why the "damsel in distress" trope is sexist and bad and why you shouldn't use it. | |
| Jan 22 at 15:26 | comment | added | Engineer Toast | @Crazymoomin The last paragraph serves to further explain why the king and townsfolk have not formed their own band of dragonslayers. The dragon capturing a damsel may not have been viewed as something that required urgent - or possibly any - attention. I make no statement on the likelihood of that being their response to a damsel-snatching but I can see why the paragraph adds value to the answer. | |
| Jan 22 at 13:53 | comment | added | Crazymoomin | I think the last paragraph is a bit unnecessary, if OP wants to write a "traditional" fairy-tale esque fantasy story with a "damsel in distress" trope, that's up to them. It seems like you're just pushing your own opinion on the trope there for no good reason. | |
