Yeah, I was actually thinking that myself. Femme fatale is a horribly abused category. I myself fell into this habit recently, because it almost seemed obligatory. I am so used to seeing it attached to just any female character, usually they have to be attractive, but that's not always the case. And it makes me feel a bit ashamed as well, because I know better. It also gets abused as a category on the heroes wiki. Not quite as badly, but if anyone could explain to me how Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony classifies as a femme fatale, I'll be impressed.
