Poor Image: Pandering To The Base

I don't think the page picture really conveys the trope well at all. It took me multiple viewings to understand what it was even trying to say and its content, having a character's chest be shown in detail, seems to be more of an example of a Gross-Up Close-Up than any sort of fanservice. It also doesn't clearly show how exactly it is pandering.

I have no idea what's going on in the current pic...definitely needs something more clear.

Can we delete it now before finding a replacement? It's that grotesque. :x

Remove for being confusing?

No, it's just ugly.

Like really ugly.

I agree. Plus it makes no sense.

I don't think artstyle matters, as long as the trope is clearly shown. Beaing ugly isn't a good reason to remove an illustrative picture.

But yeah, I have no idea what it's trying to say, so that is a terrible picture.

I think you mean to say, "Being ugly isn't a good reason to remove an illustrative image, but not being illustrative is a good reason to remove an ugly image."

How in the hell do you portay this in an image?

A fourth wall break saying 'that's what the fans want'? A post online saying we need something then showing it appears in the work?

Also an ugly image is a reason the find a better image, this one is a wtf image and more than enough reason to pull.

Well, I think it's possible (the Fanservice page managed to show it, after all), though I personally can't think of an example at the moment.

Exactly.

In the absence of any suggestions that work, I'd support making this a BUPKIS page.

Seconding BUPKIS. All the image does is give me a "No. Just… No" Reaction.

I also question its validity, given the fact that the example isn't even on the page. In fact, none of the sinkholed tropes appear anywhere on The Breadwinners pages, so I'm pretty sure this is just one troper with Perverse Sexual Lust.

SO yeah. Axe.

It's gone.

EDIT: Holy crap, that's huge.

... but seriously, should someone give ianolivia a tap on the shoulder? In addition to this page, her edits to Periphery Demographic and Launcher of a Thousand Ships seem... more wrapped up in her own world than reality. I know they're YMMV, but I do think they're overstating how popular Breadwinners is with fangirls.

Regardless of her attitude she (I guess) put a Breadwinners example as the first one in the page for Launcher of a Thousand Ships which is what This Troper would do. That's not cool.

Not to mention how awful that writeup is, both in terms of writing style and markup.

Not to mention this little gem.

I think this could be a good topic for Ask The Tropers

Done.

I figure we can just close this now?

Let's get some more consensus on whether or not to make this a BUPKIS page; I support it.

for BUPKIS.

for BUPKIS.

Another for BUPKIS.

I'm still for removal regardless of replacement.
