It's just a picture of Igor from Persona 4. It doesn't show HOW he's a good guy.

Yeah, he looks evil like nothing:

+1 to pull per everything before this.

He IS listed in the examples. Not knowing much about Persona, I'll take your word for it.

Still JAFAAC, though.

Another pull vote, strengthened by the possible dubiousness of his examplehood.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I've played some of the Persona games, and as weird and creepy as Igor is, he is actually a good guy. It's an example, but I wouldn't expect anyone who hasn't played the games to know that.

Well, looking like that, he'd likely be misunderstood if he was good. I don't think it's harming the page, even if it does a terrible job of illustrating it, so Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Not an example = worse than nothing, I think. If it added anything in return for the cost, I might feel differently, but if that's true it's harmful to the page. Two contradictory claims about whether that guy is a Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold (not just a good guy). Which is it?

Yeah, I've never played Persona (ANY of them), so I have no idea how this illustrates the trope just from the image - and now we're not even sure if it's an example.

Honestly, even if he IS an example, I'm leaning toward pull. Try to find one of the same guy doing something nice?

Having played Persona 4, I can say that Igor does assist the main character by allowing the main character to fuse persona, though he always gave me the impression that he was more interested in seeing how things would play out than either being good or evil.

Igor's motives are completely unknown, but calling him a heart of gold is stretching it really far, since, among other things, helping the protagonist is his job.

If that's the case, I'm going with pull.

I personally think that someone confused this trope with Dark Is Not Evil when putting Igor up there.
