Actively confusing and misleading, in fact. The page describes men pretending to be girls online, or conversely girls online being called men in real life. The page image shows a guy with a female body who is a guy online, which isn't the trope or even a clear inversion of it. Motion to pull.

Seconding the motion to pull... it's a clever way of playing with this trope, but it's neither this trope nor a subversion, and relevant only to Misfile itself.

It feels misleading, yes. I'm on with the pulley.

Would it be too spoilerish to suggest an image from Welcome to the NHK, where Kaoru reveals his identity in Ultimate Fantasy'' ? A better version of this.

If you have to spoiler it here, then yes, it's too spoilery.

Sure. +1 to pull. I don't get how current is demonstrative.

It's a damn shame that this is the entire comic, or I'd suggest this.

[up] That doesn't really need the right panel.

Perhaps, but with the way the panels are torn down the middle isn't going to make that easy.

I was going to suggest asking for permission to use it, but the "selling panels" thing at the bottom has me a little leery.

Yeah he sells colorless, textless commissions. It wouldn't hurt to ask anyway though.

I think the original image was illustrative, as it was a discussion of the trope. Although it may not actually show the trope in use, it does explain it.

I'm so sorry that my avatar doesn't appear fully in the shot, but the cat was threatening the photographer.
