Needs Help: Horny Devils

Starting this thread per Willbyr's permission in the IP policy thread.

Horny Devils is about succubi and incubi, a specific type of demon that feeds through sex and taking a person's Life-Force or soul in the process. It used to have an image depicting Morrigan and Lillith Aensland from Darkstalkers, before it was pulled by Fast Eddie for NSFW concerns. I guess because the art style is somewhat reminiscent of hentai? AFAIK (haven't played it, personally) Darkstalkers itself is actually a pretty chaste Fighting Game outside of some Ms. Fanservice characters. He later approved the second, current image from a thread for Evil Is Sexy:

However, the image we have right now is non-illustrative and depicts Hot as Hell instead. There's overlap between the tropes, but it's possible for a succubus/incubus to be unattractive (in other words, using it for implicit Fan Disservice), and there has to be some sort of connection to sex. The Darkstalkers pic is at least stronger on implying that because of the Ready for Lovemaking manner in which they are posing and the Flowers of Romance symbolism, but I still don't think it's ideal. There has to be something we can find that still abides by our rules on No Lewdness, No Prudishness.

As an alternative, here are some more options: 1, 2, 3. Decide for yourself if any of them work.

I'm inclined to say that the pic currently on Horny Devils would work better on Hot as Hell than that page's current. Morrigan leans a bit too far toward NSFW territory to me, so of the suggestions, I'd say 1.1 = 1.3 >>>>> 1.2

I like 1.3.

Here's another decent suggestion I came across, the character Satana from Marvel comics. It shows her with a bunch of victims who all appear to have been drained to death. It's not as strong on the "demon" part other than the Red Eyes, Take Warning, but the Smoking Hot Sex detail makes it pretty obvious otherwise.

1.4 and 5 seem to be suggestive enough to be illustrative that the demon feeds through sex yet SFW enough to be put on the page. 1.1 and 1.2 are not illustrative, 1.3 leans more towards Kiss of Death, 1.5 towards Hemo Erotic.

1.4 is stronger on illustrating the "Demon" part, so my voice goes there.

Also, I agree on moving the current to Hot as Hell.

Spiral out, keep going.

Move the current to Hot as Hell but go with a crowner for the new page image

Crowner.

I have included the "Move the current to Hot as Hell" to the crowner list.

Spiral out, keep going.

Added another 2 suggestions that are hopefully more illustrative (both obviously demonic and eating a person's soul through sex) while remaining suggestive enough overall: (1, 2).

Isn't Hot as Hell about Satan (or the setting's counterpart thereof) being depicted in the form of a sexy woman? How would moving the current Horny Devils image to Hot as Hell be appropiate, then? Do we know for sure if it does depict the Devil rather than a devil?

I think Hot as Hell is suffering a bit from its use of Example as a Thesis, giving a misleading impression. The examples include all sorts of demons, which makes the description too narrow.

Sounds like Hot as Hell needs a trip to TRS, then, because that could just as easily mean it's being rampantly misused as a result of a Missing Supertrope as that the description is too narrow. The first couple sentences were originally the entire description, suggesting it really is supposed to be Satan-specific, but the last two out of five examples on the Internet Archive's oldest version aren't clearly Satan, so the misuse may well have started very early. It doesn't help that the original YKTTW does not really seem up to current Launch Pad standards at all.

Edit: Upon further review, there really isn't that much misuse (I only identified six examples that clearly were not talking about Satan, though I might find more looking at the inbound links) and quite a number of examples that specifically point out the devil figure in a sea of attractive demons. Cleanup might be all that's needed, but it's definitely worth keeping an eye on after that.

This one's ready to call. I've made the respective image changes to both pages per the crowner results; caption for either page?

Nobody actually addressed the issue of whether the now new image of Hot as Hell actually depicts a (female) Satan figure rather than a common demoness.

[up] I think it may be difficult to find a pic that actually depicts Satan as a female, so I think the pic that's there now is sufficiently good pending someone actually coming up with said depiction.
