It dosen't even have a caption. There are so many things it can be interpreted as without context or familiarity with the characters.

Yeah, at the very least it needs a caption for full context.

The current is about as illustrative as it can get without text or a series of panels. It works.

Is there a suggestion for what caption would improve it?

There are enough context clues to show that it still illustrates the trope (takes place in a home, child gesturing to older male as if telling him off).

I can get behind adding a caption to strengthen it.

Yeah, Keep Until Better Image Suggested. It's in a home and the man is larger than her, which lends the thought that he's an older relative. Her body language is also calling him out.

Perhaps for a possible caption, the dialogue from the scene? note .

"You are completely selfish, and totally irresponsible as a father.[...]You have no education, you have no interests, you just do whatever reckless thing you want to do, whenever you want to do it, without regard for anyone else."

[up] I've added the caption and am fine with keeping the image until something better comes up.

^^ I would like the caption to focus more on the failed father/daughter relationship in order to elevate this above a "The Reason You Suck" Speech. The first sentence is fitting. Is there more in that direction in her speech?

Clock's up; the caption at least helps the current, so I'd say we're done. Locking up.
