That's just awful: Ptitle5nn0czid

I'm not sure where the picture on Honest John comes from, but I find it excruciatingly awful; with the ridiculous facial structure, it would be more suitable on one of the Uncanny Valley tropes.

Can we please find a replacement image?

Fixed thread article tag.

I love the current image. The broken car, and the guy's face, all says "Shady salesman". Honestly, if personal art style choices were a reason to pull an image, I'd be making SO MANY threads (XKCD and Order Of The Stick alone would generate so many threads).

Stupid art style or not, that's a pretty good representation of the trope. Vote to keep.

I like the pic too. Also, exaggerated physique in cartoons is a totally different thing from Uncanny Valley. I've noticed that many people have started to misuse the term "uncanny valley" as if it means any representation of a human being that doesn't look right, when the whole point of Uncanny Valley is that the representation looks almost right, and the creepiness comes from how close it is to a real human.

The issue has been raised in a now 288 post long TRS thread, let's not derail this topic into another such discussion, please.

Exactly.
