Duplicate Image: Double Standard

Double Standard and Aggressive Categorism both use the same xkcd strip, arranged differently.

Double Standard has the higher quality.

However, this image could fit either trope just as well. I suppose Aggressive Categorism is the more narrow trope, but I dunno which one would be harder to find a replacement for.

Double Standard would be harder to replace, because it's locked for editing. :D

That's a non-issue; Willbyr (or any other mod) is capable of replacing an image on a locked page if a thread concludes that it should be done.

Double Standard is much broader, so it should be easier to replace.

It fits Double Standard well, and Aggressive Categorism not. The laconic of Aggressive Categorism from YKTTW (I waded through the description and it wasn't clear to me): "A character establishing or upholding prejudice in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary". There isn't any evidence to the contrary here; the equation shown is wrong.

I agree; I vote we keep it on Double Standard.

Someone will have to translate the Example as a Thesis on Aggressive Categorism for me to make a judgment.

The idea behind Aggressive Categorism is the faulty generalisation 'This X is Y, therefore all X are Y' (and acting accordingly, including when such conclusions are obviously absurd), which is what the image depicts. The picture is as appropriate on that page as on Double Standard, and Double Standard would be easier to replace, so we should keep the image on Aggressive Categorism.

We can keep the full image on Double Standard and only the "girls suck" one on Aggressive Categorism.

...that would still count as a duplicate image, wouldn't it?

I would think so, yes.

Bump. Which page are we going to pull the image from?

Actually, I think both panels are still needed for Aggressive Categorism, as it establishes the categorism as specifically directed, and doesn't apply to other groups of about the same size (i.e. men).

And if we don't find any replacement, I'd prefer leaving it on both pages.

No - applying the generalisation unfairly to a group is Aggressive Categorism. Failing to apply the generalisation consistently to all such groups is a Double Standard.

I think it says the categorism is unfair, as Double Standard is a form of unfairness. But fair enough, if people have a different opinion.

Works better for Double Standard.

How about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boys_are_stupid,_throw_rocks_at_them!_controversy for Aggressive Categorism? It's both aggressive and has aggressive categorism :3

That could work.

Ok.

works for me.

I don't think it's an improvement, but in the light of duplicated image, sure.

Another abandoned discussion? Wow, tropers never get anything done. :P

Lots gets done by tropers, but whining at tropers never gets things done.

Sorry, should I have labelled that Tongue In Cheek Mode, or possibly Self Referential Bump?
