A stereotype of portraying an unmarried female who needs to be saved. Urban Dictionary

A usually beautiful, virginal, virtuous, and hopelessly passive young woman constantly in need of rescue by the dashing hero. She is portrayed as rather asexual and usually a foil for the assertive but dangerously seductive femme fatale. While the damsel in distress makes appearances in many folk stories dating back to Antiquity and features in a few fairy tales, this passive heroine does not seem to make regular appearances until the Victorian era; the Middle Ages were idealized as a time of pre-industrial innocence and the Victorians projected their ideals of men and women onto their Medieval ancestors; the Industrial Revolution was in full swing and women, displaced from farms and entering the middle class, lost some autonomy over their lives and became more ornamental, more dependent on their husbands. Damsels in distress are often shown tied to railroad tracks, to sawmill conveyor belts, or offered as sacrifice to a dragon (or King Kong) until her knight in shining armor arrives to save her in the nick of time. Urban Dictionary

A internet celebrity whore who fails at reviewing trailers (basically commercials) for movies. Also can be used to describe someone who is excessively nitpicky about the most pointless and uneventful reasons in a jarring, loud and irritating voice and rants about said insignificance for multiple times longer than the duration of said act.
