I get that she's the trope namer, and she can't go one line without love this, love that.

But without any context, I can't see how she's the "original love freak" if she's just teaching about "love" on the blackboard.

My grandfather can scare American war veterans through his techniques, I scare foreigners by telling them unnecessary details of my fetish.

Eh, why would anyone teach about love with a big grin on her face if she wasn't into the idea of love? Keep Until Better Image Suggested and give it a less Fan Myopia caption.

Yeah, the caption feels like the only problem here.

I know nothing about the work and I think it illustrates the concept well enough. Strong keep.

No opinion on the caption.

I think the uncropped version would be better for showing she's teaching monsters about love and peace:

And I actually don't mind the caption, even though I'm not a Disgaea fan.

[up]Actually, I think showing the monsters detract from the image.

[up][up] I disagree, I think the fact that she's teaching it to monsters reinforces the idea.

[tup] to the uncropped version.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

I prefer the uncropped version better.

Calling for the uncropped version. It's in and tagged, caption?

The original love freak. We'd say "Accept no substitutes", but she'd disapprove of us not accepting people.

Like I said, I have no problem with it, but other tropers disagreed. Is it always bad to mention someone being the Trope Namer in the caption even if the image isn't JAFAAC?
