Additional quotes by Anita Sarkeesian
We can trace the "woman as reward" trope all the way back the beginning of the medium itself as […] upon successful completion of many arcade games, players were rewarded with a related "smooch of victory" trope, so named for the kiss the hero received as a reward for rescuing a kidnapped princess.
