So this is a picture of a guy standing behind a girl looking uncomfortable, with a caption that implies he's groping her even though it doesn't look like that he even notice her (I'm assuming that the scene has him groping her, but the part that depicts it is censored). While the trope's title and description is clear enough, I'm not seeing the trope from this image at all.

Yeah, I can't see anything there.

Previous thread. It's not very good...I wouldn't mind pulling it.

Yeah, I can sort of see how it's related to the trope, but it's not a very good illustration. Not sure if it's bad enough to pull though. I wouldn't complain if it goes.

Hmmm, finding a clear/illustrative image of a "handsome guy doing lecherous stuff" that is not NSFW is apparently not that easy... I'm wondering if a stack image of this and the first panel of this would illustrate the trope well.

Otherwise, I don't mind having this page image-less. The title is clear enough anyway

I don't like the current, but I'm not in favor of leaving it imageless. Therefore, Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Definite Keep Until Better Image Suggested. You can only assume he's doing something unspeakable under the image, and that's enough.

I'd be more than happy to support something clearer.

[up]The problem with the image is that it relies too much on the caption too much to even make that assumption. At a first glance, it looks more like the girl is nervous because, I don't know, she has a crush on the guy and is too much of a Shrinking Violet to know what to do, or something along those lines. As I've mentioned earlier, the guy doesn't even appear to SEE the girl.

As for new image suggestions, would a harem keeper qualify? Or would that illustrate an entirely different trope?

A harem keeper isn't necessarily handsome, so I would say that it would illustrate another trope.

Wouldn't the character need to be handsome (or, at least, considered as one in-universe) to attract a harem in the first place?

But never mind... I found this pic, which I think illustrates the trope better than the current image although the character in question is not listed in the work examples.

She looks scared, which kind of ruins it.

Well, this certainly gets the "lech" across...not so sure about the "handsome".

Is the male character in @13 grabbing her pants?

@15 looks more like he's a predator or something.

13 looks more surprised than scared. I'd support it.

Even if it's not perfect, it's still better than the current.

The clock is up. 13's consensus is a little light, but it's more clear than the current so I've gone ahead and swapped it in. Add a caption if you want one; locking up.
