The image does nothing to inform the trope.

Suggestion: 3rd panel from here

Opened...it does look like it's relying on the caption to get the trope across.

Suggestion is just moving the text from the caption to the bubbles.

Did you happen to assume what the trope was based on the name rather than reading the description? Because I don't see how that suggestion illustrates the trope at all.

The current certainly isn't great, but one can sort of infer that the weird-looking shadowy dude is some sort of creature of negative emotion. It's better than nothing and better than the suggestion in my opinion.

^ What is wrong with the suggestion?

Holy cow, is this a bad name for the trope. To answer [up], it's illustrating the name but not the actual trope. The person saying it is confronting an external threat rather than the internal threat the statement is meant to defy.

Yeah, if there's misuse (and I'd be surprised if there weren't) it needs to go to TRS.

Oh, I and apparently others mistook this trope for Not Afraid of You Anymore.

Come to think of it, I don't think the suggestion is good for Not Afraid of You Anymore either because the dimensions probably just wouldn't work at wiki size.

A cropped version would work but I am more concerned about it not being an example because the trope implies both characters have a history of abuse which doesn't show here.

Voting to pull the current for being JAFAAC, regardless of replacement.

The clock's up and since we don't have consensus beyond the current being JAFAAC, it's pulled and the page is tagged. Locking up.
