Now, first of all, I just want to say I have ABSOLUTELY no problems with pony pics on TV tropes. The characters presented in the image are the perfect representation of this trope. It's just that this particular image is a particularly bad JAFAAC for the following reasons:

Whose personality is being improved? The yellow one? That purple one? Who?

The image caption carries a lot of weight, despite not even being a quote from the source series.

From out of context, the characters don't even LOOK loony/quirky.

Could we get a better picture for this?

Yup, that's textbook JAFAAC.

Yeah, that's not very good...nice in theory, poor in execution.

Image looks like something else entirely. Vote to pull.

Yeah, that picture needs to go. It looks more like a group shot than what the trope is.

I can't think of anything good for a signature.

Yeah, this is JAFAAC. We could probably pull it, as it says nothing about the trope and could be confusing.

This would probably necessitate multiple images regardless of the final image, as it's pretty much impossible to illustrate the trope with one pic.

Someone pulled it, so here's the old image.

[up][up] Probably right about more than one image. A "before and after" setup would probably do us best here.

No one has any suggestions? Fine, forget what I said.

This is a terrible case of JAFAAC. In this case, it's worse than the lack of an image.

[up][up] Nope...once a pic's pulled for not fitting a page, it's gone unless there's some compelling reason to put it back, which in this case there's not.

Why would "we at least put back the original image until some other suggestions come up"? Pulling the current and suggesting something else are two different questions.

Why?

Yeah, that pic is so JAFAAC that it's preferable to leave it imageless until we find something else.

I said it once and I'll say it again, this is better of left pictureless unless someone finds a good image.

I agree with Elbruno.

I'm fine with this not having a pic.
