Does Not Illustrate: Flaw Exploitation

I am puzzled by the image on Flaw Exploitation. What flaw is being exploited?

Yeah, I don't see how that fits the trope at all.

I read the webcomic so I know the context but I don't think it's a good image for the concept. I don't know what could be a good replacement.

Image does nothing to illustrate the trope. I vote to pull.

Someone got a Death Star exhaust port joke comic?

Nvm this is a personal weakness, hmmm, Nothing comes to mind but any effective taunt into a trap would work.

• 1 to pull.

I'll defer to the example list:

• From Sinfest.
• From Schlock Mercenary.
• From Freefall.

[1] Panels 9 + 10 + 14

The example is somewhat weak but i would prefer not to go Bupkis.

6.3 could work. Maybe panels 2 and 3?

Not really feeling any of those suggestions, although the Sinfest one seems the best for conciseness and visuals.

Sinfest panel 1+4:

That's good. I like the third (?) panel where all the "love" words are stabbing him a bit more than the 4th panel, but either works for me.

Bump. Something like this?

1 + 3 is what I was thinking.

I'd go with Freefall, panels 2 & 3. The trope is more obvious there, and even lampshaded.

^ Don't like the wall of text.

This hopefully is the Sinfest example with panels 1 + 3.

Yup.

I think the bottom row (the last 5 panels) in this (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0205.html ) strip from Order Of The Stick would work. The beat panels highlight the dilemma. Perhaps add panel 3 if it's not clear enough.

It does work, but the other suggestions are a lot more concise.

16.

I'm not entirely sure what flaw is being exploited in the Sinfest comic.

Flashy guy dislikes the word "love" and is hammered with it in the second panel.

I thought he did a weird thing where he was screaming it because he liked the clothes left guy put on. :/

Sinfest is very unclear as to what flaw is being exploited; Freefall is a strong example but has lots of text to wade through; Schlock Mercenary is a bit weak but seems clearer than Sinfest and more concise than Freefall.

Overall, I'd prefer a different, strong example which is also concise, but I could live with panels 3 & 4 of Schlock Mercenary.

Bump. Crowner?
