It works in a "better than nothing" way unfortunately, there's so few options other than this.

I liked it before post 14 came.

This is the best I could do as far as an alternate.

I'd wager you can find images contained in "motivational" images sans the "motivational" stuff.

Although I don't know if I like that image.

What do you mean? If you're referring to the image alone, you can find grotesque images of female bodybuilders all day long but the combination of the image and the caption was what did it for me.

Should I look for alternative is a female bodybuilders if you do not prefer that one?

Perhaps we could just use the image and caption separately?

My only objection to using them is right now searching I cannot find one that shows a man in disgust of an extremely muscular female, just threads on bodybuilding.com and others of how nasty they look.

I'd really prefer that we not use a pic of a female bodybuilder...that seems unnecessarily petty.

Well I apologize if perhaps I'm taking this trope far too literally.

Ripping the demotivator text into a proper caption would just be JAFAAC. A generic image of an ugly-looking female bodybuilder doesn't actually illustrate the trope.

For the record, I think most of the criticisms of the anime-looking main suggestion are pretty much nitpicking.

For 30, the trope is about strong women, not women with unnaturally manly bodies.

For 29, it's hard to tell what that guy's facial expression is indicating.

The girl in 14 looks a bit too much like Barbie, but it gets the point across, so it still gets my vote.

[up] thanks for clearing that part up about 30.

My impression about 29 was that the woman is more overweight and out of his league than strong.

14 begrudgingly gets my vote.

No it didn't.

The most support I gave it was "it could work."

Well now I feel stupid, at least like everyone else you're giving a very reluctant vote to 14 due to the trope at least being shown even if through the dead eyes of the lead character in a comic purely geared to the artist's fetishes.

Exactly.

The least of three evils, if you will.

[up][up] Why would you feel stupid?... you've concisely relayed the extent of these begrudging concursions of unanimousity, into the use of the original graphic artist's rendition of such chauvinistic sexist opinions.

Why, I say you have adequately comprehended the extent of the matter in its entirety, ol' Chap. :{D

I count ten votes for it, eight were weak.

If there was anything better, I'd change my vote in a heartbeat, but there isn't.

[up] Yes Baconmaniac5000ofdanville, as would I do the same.

I believe we have come to a conclusion on the matter at hand. As my work is done here I will refrain from excess deliberation.

Is that understood?
