Understanding how DEFFN works is not the same as disrobing a blushing, helpless woman. My objection is specifically about these three things in combination: 1) equating a code function to ‘damsel’, a gendered stereotype for a helpless women; 2) using phrasing that would most commonly be referencing disrobing and viewing someone; and, 3) having the characterization blush when doing so. These three components taken together are not fundamental to all characterizations. They are specific, gendered, and offensive.
