This was changed without any discussion. New image doesn't have a source.
Reason: "Griffith is a far more Badass Sissy Villain... you wouldn't expect the Villain ^^"
Who's Griffith? Why is him being a more Badass a better image?

Old:

Hmmm...Slim build, fabulous clothes, swishy wrists... EVIL-DOER! Let's beat him up!

New:
The angelic face of Evil

I'd say both of them are poor images. Neither one looks particularly villainous, unless you know the work. That's Classic Just A Face And A Caption. The new one is, I'd say, worse, in that regard, since the only thing that indicates he's a villain is the caption saying he is and there's nothing to indicate he meets the "sissy" part of the trope at all.

The old one at least had some artistic conventions that suggest maybe he's not a Good Guy — the Shoulders of Doom / High Collar of Doom and the jagged edge treatment of the collar and the shaded upper half of his face are all conventions that usually indicate "villain". But the caption is doing all the work on the "sissy" part.

My vote is to pull both of them and find a good one.

Both are JAFAAC, but the former at least looks like he might fit the bill.

The previous has some hints of sissiness.

The new one is JAFAAC. The old one is barely not. He does look somewhat villanous, but the sissiness is rather lacking. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to find a better one, at any rate.

The previous is far better for the same reasons Madrugada said, and no ammounts of "^^"s in the edit motive will change that.

Like Septimus said, I can see a little of sissiness in the original picture without needing the caption. It's not fantastic, but I think it does the job. Keep Until Better Image Suggested, which I don't think should be too hard to find.

I find both of them JAFAAC, and suggest we remove both.

Some suggestions:
Ghirahim from Skyward Sword [1] (His heart is filled with rainbows!)
HIM from The Powerpuff Girls [2]

Him gets my vote. Looks like the devil, has crab claws, and a Slasher Smile: Clearly a villain.

Wears high heels and has a pink puffy thing around his neck and the hem of his skirt: Definitely sissy.

[tup]On HIM, but the image is a bit artifact-y (and every search I did for a better quality one led to a worse quality one. tongue).

How about this one?

I like both HIM pictures. I perhaps slightly prefer the first one because of the Slasher Smile. But either would be a great replacement.

Couldn't find one, but my search turned up this: [1]. This is fanart, but I like it. You can get images from this video.

Love HIM. Either one is good, but I like the prancy aspect of the first one better. Will the line work be terribly visible if the size is reduced?
