The image (which was a joke, since the dolphin was naked) was removed for no real reason other than "dolphin?". Obviously we can't actually show a naked person, but the vagueness of the image removal kinda has me puzzled.

I've put it back up, pending any changes that happen as a result of this topic, but I must admit it's not very illustrative.

I am OK with it.

I thought indexes don't actually need an image, and pasting the dolphin pic (when the tropes it's indexing is supposed to be about humans) seem a rather forced addition.

Maybe we can use a picture of anatomical models? Barring the possible squick factors of exposed organs, they're more or less as harmless as the Barbie Doll Anatomy.

Indexes don't "need" an image in the same fashion as tropes don't "need" an image - it's not an essential requirement, but it enriches the page.

I know that nudity is not allowed on this site, but what about an image of a nude person that is covering themselves so the person is not exposed? Here is one that might work

I kind of like the joke, my vote to keep the current.

I like the naked mole rat better than the current, since it's more obviously related to the index.

That said, I'd still like to see a non-NSFW human pic. Maybe [1]

How about Michelangelo's David?

I can't look it up right now, because my internet is giving me problems.

That trope where something is censored (I can never remember names when I need to).

But it has underwear over it.

Anyway, I was thinking a shot from the back, instead.

Bowdlerize is what I was thinking of.

I'm perfectly good with 6.1, using a naked human just isn't funny and if we're going to have an image then at least make it something that plays with the concept rather than just states it.

We have separate tropes for Scenery Censor and the like. It's not a good fit for this page.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Cropped and resized the cat image... or the hairless pussy...

I'm not really crazy about the dolphin, especially with the Don't Explain the Joke note...I kinda like the kitty.

I like the kitty because it reads naked more than the dolphin does.
