Doesn't illustrate the trope.: Swiper No Swiping

Trope: Swiper, No Swiping!

All the picture indicates is that there is a villain (you can tell by the sharp teeth and mask) approaching a child and a monkey hiding behind a tree. It doesn't seem like there is any plot being foiled at all.

I suspect this picture makes sense if you've actually watched the moment in question on Dora The Explorer, but to anyone else, myself included, it seems entirely irrelevant to the trope at hand.

Does not make sense to me.

Tag fixed. Also, agree.

Agree

Without dialogue in the pic, it's not going to work...definitely needs replacing.

I think it is bad enough to remove without replacement; it's not helping the article at all.

Obligatory deviant art comic on the subject

On a semi-related note, rule 34 applies to Swiper? Seriously, Internet? I'm disappointed in you.

Edit: This◊ would be so perfect if the text weren't so small.

Perhaps a screencap with them actually saying something to him? Then again, Dora (I think) has this thing with how the characters face the "camera" too much, with only their eyes moving to indicate the direction their looking at. So maybe it'd be hard to tell who they're talking to in a screencap.

The name is weird, I like idiosyncratic but that is just absurd, the trope name equivalent of JAFAAC. The image is just a picture of the Trope Namer of a bad name.

A slightly different name would make it easier... like Please Stop Murdering People or something but that's not us.

The deviant one is slightly better.

This is not a name-picking thread, though.

The picture doesn't show anything, and detracts from the trope. I say pull.

Hä? And that should be an example, or somehow illustrate the trope?

Pulled

There should be images somewhere of Dora actually holding up her hand when she says it.

Edit: Like this [1]◊

That's better. Maybe a little small.

Agreed on both.

I don't really like it. If you're not familiar with Dora this picture could just as easily be a little girl attacked by a fox, or even the girl saying "hands up" with her hand rather than a gun.

Are you seriously wondering why that little girl won't leave the poor little fox bandit alone?

Yes. It says nothing to me. ("Won't leave the poor little..." is already way more than it says, don't get that either.)

How about a frame from this clever parody of this trope from Femmegasm?

Clever, but a little too risque, especially since the site's trying to purge itself of anything that's overtly pedo-ish.

Clock is set.

Blank Until Good Image Suggested. Can we make an acronym for BUGIS now?

Just drop the I and make it BUGS.

*snerk* I like it.

But "Blank Until Good Suggested" doesn't make grammatical sense D:

Then again, "Blank Until Good Suggestion"...?
