Just a Face and a Caption: Brain Bleach

Not saying we pull it, but it's just a pun on the title. We could at least use a picture that shows someone clearly freaking out and trying to use brain bleach.

Like this video, from 1:42-1:46. We see three frames:

• Lady is doing research for the video, and it requires her to search eroge games.
• Her eyes bug out.
• She screams "AUGH WHYI?" as she tries to apply bleach to her mind.

The last frame alone could work, but we could pair it with one or both of the others.

I keep this image around just for this trope.◊

There is a page of Gunnerkrigg Court with Kat asking for brain bleach, but unfortunately the thing she cannot unsee was so harrowing that the audience only gets to wonder what it looked like. So I'm not sure it is a great picture, but her expression is great. [1]

Text makes it a macro, so wouldn't work.

Again, macro. Would get pulled for such.

Not all images with non-speech balloon text are Image Macros. I say either use that or the current image, because I am so sick of webcomic images.

The suggestion I presented wasn't one. And even if it was, personal feelings are not a counter to an image.

Too bad we don't have a work page for The Big Book Of Bunny Suicides.

Webcomic image, web series image, game that lampshades everything image, they're all the same. A rabbit shredding its head with a cheese grater is a lot more interesting than a textbook literal example that was absolutely tailor-made for this page. It's just too predictable.

It's just boring. That's all.

Pardon the all caps, but WHY SHOULD BEING PREDICTABLE MEAN AN IMAGE SHOULDN'T BE USED? Hey, that logically should work in favor of an image, since it makes more of what we want people to think of when they see a trope page.

Plus claiming "tailor-made" is a bad thing is just a fallacy. We have had custom images made for some pages, so any other picture doing that cannot be considered a demerit.

I support the Gunnerkrigg Court image.

That is not an image macro.

Yes. That's not an image macro.

Okay, text on the picture like that makes it look like one, and certainly would fall into the type that gets pulled due to that.

I like the bunny. It doesn't look like a meme/macro to me, unless I really misunderstand what those are.

Can we put the text in the caption instead? Will it be as effective?

Hold on a sec, how is that bunny picture not an image macro? It's a picture from a book that someone put text on top of - what else would it be?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_macro

"Macro" implies a pattern that image doesn't fit. (It has careful and multicolored typography that "goes with" the style of the drawing, for one thing...) Almost always they are text on photographs. Also thought the text was part of the image originally, not added later. What book?

This is the third frame from the video I brought up in the OP. I feel it makes a good picture because of not only her freaking out, but also do to her clearly having seen something on the laptop.

The Book of Bunny Suicides

I don't think we have the broad definition in mind when we say "macro"; we think of its usual, meme-driven incarnations. But then again, transferring the text to the caption like so would work just as well.

That said, the Extra Credits one is also excellent.

I think rodney's right - the fact that actual effort was put into it means it isn't a macro.

Well that recent upload solved the problem anyway, although I still like the Extra Credits image better.
