Bad image: Die Chair Die

Motion to pull

Not even an example, and it's all text.

An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.

No kidding. I second the pull.

"We are not a stuffy encyclopedic wiki. We're a buttload more informal".

Thirding. It's not anything.

Fourthing pull

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

Fifthed and pulled:

Does this really need a pic?

That is the question, yes? It's about the player's interactivity with environmental props being limited to attacking them.

An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.

By that summary, I'd say no.

Put it to an Image Links subpage, not wantonly pulling stuff.

Neither goony beard-men nor rainbow-haired she-twinks will stand in the way of my dreams!

Nope, not good enough even for Image Links. It's not even remotely an example.

Agreed.

I'm currently trying to find an appropriate image on Game FA Qs. Not having much luck

Okay guys , what about this do you not understand? In the scene depicted in the image, the main character talking about how he wants to kill a chair. This page is called "Die, Chair! Die!". Yeah, it's a little obscure to people who are unfamiliar with the source material, but if that was a problem, this site would never have "Trope Namers". Stop doing things to make yourselves look important, and put the image back.

It's completely unrelated - not even a Visual Pun. It's worse than having no image at all.

Yeah, unwritten rule number one: follow all the unwritten procedures. - Camacan

How is it unrelated? You clearly have never played Tsukihime, or at the very least never came across the scene that picture is referencing. Trust me, the picture may be an in-joke, but it IS related. Actually, don't trust me, just watch this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeiSVFrl_sI. The relevant scene starts at 3:50. Seriously though, why the hell do you think the page is called "Die! Chair! Die!"? It's because of that very scene!

Well, if it's an in-joke that people wouldn't understand unless they're familiar with one particular work, then that's a very good reason to change it.

I strongly suggest you read this page.

If anyone could find a video game screen capture where the character is destroying/kicking/shooting-at a chair, would that be good enough?

Otherwise, I think it'd be unpicturable.

Get a slant at this glossary of Pulp Detective terms. It rates. Pipe that?

Yes, that would be good. I think this is picturable, just not by this trope.

What might also work is the character from the Zelda game Oracle Of Seasons that tells you he gives a reward if you destroy a hundred signposts.

This site is filled to the brim with in-jokes that nobody but fans could possibly get, so that is not a valid justification. Although I still think the screencap does gets the point across: "Dissapear. This chair is an eyesore. This chair. This chair. ect." It's a guy talking crazy about how he hates a chair, he's basically saying "Die, Chair! Die!".

I thought the trope is about "the only way to interact with props is to damage them", not about a gentleman finding chairs offensive to his sensibilities. So what if It Makes Sense in Context? It doesn't show the trope.

The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.

Self-thumped.

There may be in jokes on the site, but official policy is that we don't do that in images. Read this and this for what constitutes a good image. In summary: we want images that help everyone understand the trope whether or not they're familiar with the work.

Also, this trope is about how the character's interaction with objects in the environment is limited to attacking them, not specifically about attacking chairs.

Self-thump. Japanese Teeth said everything for me already.
