Line 509:
* In ''[[Rage (video game)|Rage]]'', Elizabeth is the only known female Resistance member.
* Of the gang of playable characters in ''[[Borderlands]]'', three are male, with a fourth man driving the truck, and one is female - introduced as "The Siren," which is barely a gnat's whisker away from simply calling her "the token girl." The vast majority of enemies will be male, too. Or arguably, in the case of the skags, not sexually dimorphic.
* A pub in ''[[Dishonored]]''. ''[[Cracked.com]]'''s [http://www.cracked.com/article_20657_the-6-most-bizarre-ways-to-lose-popular-video-games.html The 6 Most Bizarre Ways to Lose Popular Video Games] describes it as containing "Havelock the leader, Piero the geeky inventor, and Callista the woman."
Line 542 ⟶ 543:
* In ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'', Tex is very much aware that she's the only girl, until another is introduced in the fifth season. She also gets notably huffy when Donut is mistaken for a girl because of his [[The European Carry All|new pink armor]], and her teammates imply that she's not a "real" girl. She's also, undoubtedly, the biggest [[Badass]] of the show.
* [[The Nostalgia Chick]] talks about this in a video titled "[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thedudette/nostalgia-chick/16616-the-smurfette-principle The Smurfette Principle]". At that point, she was also an example of it, though two other women joined the site at the same time, and [[That Guy With The Glasses]], as a site, has gone on to build a larger female cast.
* Most videos on ''[[Cracked.com]]'' have a single female.
