Just a Face and a Caption: Pink Means Feminine

Umbridge?◊

Can't comment on that - my connection is too slow for that image

With all those things it would look feminine even without the pink.

I'll rather have an image of a pink AK, razor◊, tools◊ or anything where the pink is the only thing making it look "feminine".

I'd maybe like the razor compared to a men's razor, which are usually blue or grey, I think. Sterile, mechachanical colours.

What if we got an image of a woman in pink with a bow or sword instead of a gun? It wouldn't be over the top but it would be a more elegant weapon.

I think the disagreement overall is between whether "masculine + pink = feminine" or "very feminine = necessarily pink" illustrates the trope better.

I think the best way to illustrate the trope would be a more simple kind of femininity like this image◊.

We can't use that specific one because of the watermark, but something like that would be good. Suggest quickly, though, this one's almost up.

I think we'll need a runoff crowner here.

Re the new suggestion, it has quite a lot more than the other two images in the crowner, so I am inclined to call it inferior.

How about this cherry blossom one [1]◊ or this cherry one [2]◊ or [3]◊?

That all looks like generic anime colours to me. And the connection to femininity is kinda missing, given that everything has the same colour.

My upvote on the Gun still stands.

What about the plastics◊ or the pink ranger◊?

Not better and not necessarily worse than the Gun - the latter has a distracting bad image quality.

I think we're trying to convey a more complex idea than just 'girls wearing pink'.

Should we call it in favor of the gun then?

Yeah, I think it's pretty safe to call this one. The gun pic's up and tagged. Caption or no?

"It's a girl's gun."

Don't forget to add the courtroom scene to the Image Links page.

Done.

Locking up.
