The Fan Disservice page as an illustration coming from a cartoon, and is a multi-subpage trope. FanDisservice.Western Animation already have another illustration of its own.

My suggestion would be to use instead the two pictures on FanDisservice.Other to illustrate the main trope, as it doesn't use something that would go in a subpage, and is more in-depths about the concept.

(Having an "Other" subpage is always iffy in my book anyway, since those entries could just as well be on the main page.)

Some of those entries on the Other page, such as the Music section, have enough in them to justify being made into their own subpages. As for the pics on the Other page, I think it's rather clunky and needing way too much explanation to get the idea across.

Urgathoa from Pathfinder, maybe?

[up] Firstly, the fact that her lower body is literally reduced to bone isn't necessarily the first thing one notices about her, and secondly, undead women are often fetishized. I certainly wouldn't count her for Ms. Fanservice, but counting her for Fan Disservice might be pushing it.

As long as we haven't resolved the multimedia/subpage issue in the policy discussion thread one way or the other, I'm personally not going to support moving pics on that rationale. Keep it on the main page for now.

^ The media-agnostic discussion stalled probably because either (a) IP is not the right place to settle such high-level decisions or (b) there is no actual process in place to change unwritten rules announced by Fast Eddie.

[up] Is Fast Eddie still in charge? I thought they had since put someone else in charge.

His shadow is long, it would seem.

For some reason, what came to mind is PC Gamer continually using an image from The Witcher 3 of Geralt of Rivia splaying his legs in a bathtub, riling up their followers despite *technically* nothing showing.

Might go well on the Web Original subpage, which is currently imageless.
