Poor Image: The Cheerleader

Without knowing the work, I can't tell that the girls are cheerleaders let along what the personality is that's supposed to go along with the trope is. Can we get something that illustrates and looks more like a cheerleader? Maybe having them do something instead of standing there?

Well, the girls do look very unfriendly - Alpha Bitch-y, which is part of the description:

That article is basically "cheerleaders are usually portrayed negatively: dumb, slutty, evil, or some combination. (Bring It On is an aversion.)

Surely there is something good in the examples. (No good pics out of what I am familiar with.)

Also looks like it fits Girl Posse which should be in the description.

Clock is set.

I find it interesting that the OP hasn't written since the OP. Anyway I think it's fine. They look angry in what appear to be black cheerleading uniforms.

Never heard of the show that pic comes from; but the girls wear something looking like cheerleader uniforms, and as Septimus Heap said, they look very Alpha Bitchy. Me too, I'd say the pic is fine.

I think that an image with visible pom-poms would probably be more effective. Unfortunately, the GIS examples are simply girls with pom-poms, they don't really explain the trope.

Pom-poms with alpha bitch faces?

Maybe this pic◊ of some characters from Glee?

They look pleasant.

Not really feeling that one.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
