I could have sworn this was the picture on Father, I Want to Marry My Brother and that there was a Image Picking discussion on this, but forum search, plus the history and edit pages disagree with me. So seeing how the pic in question is not an example and Father, I Want to Marry My Brother is currently picture less I think it would be safe to swap them.

The picture in question.

Hidden text in edit page: Because we know you're all curious: It's from a 1950 children's book called A Girl and her Daddy, misspellings and all. The only photoshopping here was done to make the text more readable.

Please.

That picture has been on this page for years. I have no idea why you thought it was on the other one.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick

I think its fine where it is

'If the man was a real parent, this would be incest, but of course they're Not Blood Relatives.'

Not An Example.

This implies, quite correctly, that my mind is dark and damp and full of tiny translucent fish.

Well...my first instinct was "This is a glorious image, don't you touch it!" But it isn't honestly an example, and it is a bit misleading. It's an example of a little girl wanting to marry her father, which is more Father, I Want to Marry My Brother than Wife Husbandry, which is more about a child marrying her legal Not Blood Relatives guardian.

I don't think the images were ever swapped, but it's true that this one is better suited to the other.

But Father, I Want to Marry My Brother is about kids not understanding what all "marry" means and thus saying it when they don't mean anything of the sort, really.

"Children, particularly little girls, have a bit of a strange understanding as regards sexual relationships between adults. If you don't know about the intricacies of all that kind of stuff, it just seems like the husband-wife relationship is between two people who love each other a lot."

The text on that image — the line about "Yes and had little babies with them, too." — makes it quite likely that the little girl in question does have some idea of what "marriage" includes.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

Counter objection. Children that young tend not know where babies come from or the hows and whys.

Please.

Exactly, the image implies that she does.

The image implies that she has some (at least rudimentary) idea.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

She knows that it's something parents have together. Most kids do, even if they don't know exactly how babies are made.

Thats what I tought.

So I still don't believe it belongs on wife husbandry as thats an adult aiming for someone they raised. Also not biologically related.

Please.

this?◊ (A scan of the actual book would be better quality though.)

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!

Interesting example, but as is the problem with Negima scans, the quality's kinda crap...if/when you can get a scan of the released panel, let's see what that looks like.

That's really way too text heavy and the visuals on it don't really help show the trope. Never mind the horrible quality.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick

Its makes a hell of alot more sense than the current picture which is even worse... and its got a flash forward image spot in the background with ages. (working on seeing if anyone has a decent scanner to scan the image.)

I agree with Raso, it's about the same level as current of Talking Heads, but I still don't like it that much.

Fight smart, not fair.

Nevermind, got mixed up and misread.

Clock is set. Could the text from the Negima pic work as a quote?

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
