I love the crime sections. They're like a Real Life Complete Monster article with the Serial Numbers Filed Off to sneak past.

Is there a reason this subsection is going imageless?

Can we please, please, please get an image that is less horrifying? I know it's the point of the section, but that image is NSFW at the very least. At least spoiler it, dammit.

I removed it. Seriously, that was more disgusting than creepy. I suggest that we use the old picture of the pierced guy.

Are you referring to my image of the dog Michael Vick abused? I figure we need something disgusting to drive home the point that "this shit you're about to read is going to be SEVERELY unpleasant."

Yeah, but some of us might not have a problem with reading severely unpleasant stuff, but still with actually seeing it.

I'd vote for imageless, myself. Piercing Man is grade-A Narm imo.

I'd rather have it imageless, because people going "Look at the freak!" to someone who is a real person with real emotions and feelings, makes me feel like I'm living 2 centuries ago. I don't even think it's Narm, I pity people who find him scary, it feels like What Measure Is A Freak?

Is it just me, or are most of the things on this page just "regular" nightmare fuel? High Octane Fuel is things that are *designed* to be Nightmare Fuel. Most of the examples (like accidents) were never designed in the first place, and therefore could not have been designed to be scary.

Pretty much the only stuff that *should* stay on this page is the torture-related stuff...

Well, the main Real Life page talks about Real Life as if it's a game, and I don't see why we couldn't do the same here, plus it has pages for Tear Jerker and other stuff that's specifically supposed to get an intended reaction from the audience.

I've cleaned out large sections of the Crime article, and parts of the Other section, this was mostly because alot of Troper Tales style stories flooded over, there was huge amounts of natter and giant walls of text describing bad childhood memories and such.

Will try to clean out more later.
