AdonicMeki: Where did this trope's name come from?

Osh: Just a made up word a friend thought of once to describe something vaguely misshape and ogrish.

AdonicMeki: I was just reading through this trope again, and I think it doesn't mean what I thought it meant... the first paragraph makes it sound like the trope is the tendency in anime for all characters to be really good-looking. But I think I just realized it's actually referring specifically to the characters who are intentionally made to not be good-looking. It could use a bit of a rewrite to make it clear that that's what the trope is talking about. And perhaps someone with a better head for trope names than I could come up with a name for said tendency of all anime characters to be really good-looking, because that happens in every anime series, basically.

{{Gus}}: Well, if we're making up a term for an uglified character, maybe something other than gonk could be supplied. The word means something already in hackinese [[http://computing-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/gonk (definition)]].

{{Janitor}} Pulled out "A {{Gonk}}, done deliberately bad, in the anime ''{{Pani Poni Dash}}''", until we can put together something that will allow a caption for an image to act like a caption.

KendraKirai: If you say so. You did the resizing too, I figure? I've been trying to size 'em, but it's tough to get 'em sized properly while keeping the aspect ratio, yet STILL being visible. My Milfy picture from TheDitz suffered *bad* from being microtized.

FastEddie: Pulled ...
* "D" in ''ProjectAKo'' looks basically like Arnold Schwarzennegger in a ''[[{{Joshikousei}} seifuku]]''.
** Actually, that was Mari. D was the one in a '''bikini'''.
.. looks like discussion to me. No idea about the issues.
