Does Not Illustrate: Raised By Grandparents

so, this image was brought up in Ask The Tropers as not actually being an example of the trope, despite first appearances. for context, the picture illustrating the trope is a toddler Peter Parker after he's just lost his parents...while his aunt and uncle decide to raise him. Which, of course, aren't his grandparents, and we already have a trope for being raised by your uncle/aunt. I'm proposing we pull the image until we find a better replacement that's actually an example of the trope.

Peter's an example of Nephewism, and the pic should be moved to that page.

[up][up][up]agreed 110%, though we should wait for some consensus before moving.

[up][up]it's at least a nice conversation starter, and I wouldn't mind if it became the trope image

I can go with 3 in lieu of anything else.

[tup] 3 over current.

Not sure about moving current to Nephewism, since the aunt & uncle shown are so much older than the kid, that they can easily be taken for grandparents (probably the reason why someone (wrongly) put it up on Raised by Grandparents to begin with)

bumping to ask if anyone is opposed, since we probably have enough consensus to do the change.

Sure, let's switch to Hey Arnold. For Nephewism I'd prefer a picture where the aunt/uncle connection is spelled out, since (as stated above) they could be mistaken for parents or grandparents.

[up][awesome][tup] Excellent picture for Nephewism. Got my vote!

Edit: In any case, since I'm not sure how to add a picture to a page, can someone else add the hey arnold pic to the Raised by Grandparents page please?

Somewhat closer crop for readability

3's added and tagged on Raised by Grandparents. 13/[up] is a great suggestion for Nephewism.
