, This. The image's pedophiliac undertones are what made it fall under the creepy rule.
Agree that "don't talk about <this subject>" when <this subject> is relevant is obnoxious. Also humans tend to react rebelliously to being given an order**.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Alright, let's ask the mods. Do we want a pedophilia derail?
We have better images suggested. Nothing more needs to be said, other than what we will choose.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerIt's not a derail. That is the rail.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Is anyone opposed against the #1 replacement?
Support Gravitaz on Kickstarter!How is it derailing? It is the VERY BASIS of this thread.
and are absolutely correct. Lu, you could be considered to be derailing the thread because you don't want to talk about the pedophilia issue.
"Did anybody invent this stuff on purpose?" - Phillip Marlowe on tequila, Finger Man by Raymond Chandler.Oh, stop this discussion now. We have lu's replacement proposal and the assertion that the current image is NSFW. So, let's just say "NSFW" rather than "paedophiliac" and decide if we go with lu's proposal. We don't need a detailed discussion of paedophilia.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman"stop this discussion now"
What did I say about orders? :P If you really want to stop the discussion, it would be vastly more effective to not contribute to it, especially not demand that it stop. That's effectively an invitation to continue. Funny that "stop the derailing" is the derailment.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.I'm fine with the suggested replacement.
That said, I think this thread should be prominently stickied for the benefit of the forum members here who believe that it is wrong or illegal to replace an image by a better image. Comments along those lines come up way more often than they should.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!I'm seeing a derail about a derail that could've been but wasn't. If that doesn't make sense, then you get an idea of what I'm seeing.
We don't need a discussion about paedophilia, but IMO there wasn't one really; just one about the way that the image displays excessively how clearly this series seems to pander to that ... demographic. (I could say a whole lot about what I think about the fact that this group is considered a "demographic" in Japan, but that would be off-topic.)
Anyway, instead of talking about what to talk about, just decide if you wanna change the image and have at it.

Title card◊ (with five characters, instead of three) is fine.

No title card. Do we have consensus? Should we put the image up?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanThat title card isn't too bad.
The title card's not really interfering with anything. Why shouldn't the image have one?

somethingBecause the title is already on the page. And in English, no less.
