Okay, so this is an image of an angry woman, with the context that "she used to be in a biker gang". I think the woman in the upper panel and the lower panel are the same, but given the art style it's hard to be sure, and then her dialogue doesn't really make sense.

So anyway. The trope Woman Scorned is not "angry woman", but "woman angry for being cheated on or dumped". In order to illustrate the trope, the image should also show that. So yeah, motion to pull.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

And it was chosen in an Image Pickin' thread too! What happened? Anyway, Fast Eddie zapped it:

EDIT: Okay, now that I actually see the image, it kind of slightly almost makes a little sense a bit, but… no wait, no, it doesn't. I had to look it over for minutes just to see what was going on. It's worse than nothing.

I tell you, I positively despise these unflipped manga pictures. Very difficult to parse at a glance.

Anyway, doesn't look like an example at all. I don't fault Eddie on this one. Suggestions for a replacement?

That image doesn't illustrate it well enough to be the image page, I agree, but in full context, its at least applicable to Woman Scorned.
