I approve of this page image.

Thank you. I didn't make it, but I very, very carefully selected it. I wanted to find a picture that captured the essence of bara and was universally pleasing to the bara eye, but not too explicit. Though this image is cropped, it was largely cropped for dimensions limits—in the full image they're not wearing clothes, but nothing's showing.

Could you post a link to the full image?

It's not online anymore, that I know of. I have it on file though. Anyway, unless you wanted to be assured of the reference, this is not tvtropeschan.

Would it be possible to ask for a copy of the image and/or a tip on how to find similar images?

Thank you muchly, Gilgameshkun.

Trying to find that exact image still, though. If it's not too much trouble, would you mind furnishing us with a direct link?

Here. There wasn't much more to the picture anyway. And don't count on that link to always be there.

GAH! Damn it TV Tropes, why is whenever I open a page, you either have Rule 34 or something incredibly terrifying waiting for me?

I'm considering moving a lot of the examples from here to Fan Yay since many of the examples on the page are referring to fandoms and not any specific work that's actually bara.

Discussion is currently ongoing in a Trope Repair Shop thread here.

Didn't want to start editing war, but I should remind the troupers that not everyone is familiar with the ins and outs of the topic an entry is dedicated to. I notified readers that "Kuso Miso Technique" has scat and watersports, things that vast majority of people (yes, even gay people) find disagreeable. It is information that would be helpful to know beforehand. I then got nagged by someone for not knowing the latest Japanese slang and that this info is something "every weeaboo knows."

Not everyone reading these entrys is a weeaboo, much less knows what one is. This trouper is guessing that a majority of people visit this page because they are only slightly familiar with bara or never heard about it at all. And yes, some of those people don't know a lot about the names of gross fetishes in foreign languages. If they did they would go be on a forum for people who know about the topic, not some page on a site deditated to informing newcomers. This just reinforces every stereotype about the closed-off, snobbish, no-outsiders-allowed manga/anime fan.

Someone more experienced then me is in a better position to know if it fits with the page or not, so I didn't change it. Just a suggestion, but the line could inform the reader what the terms in question mean and and how they are used in anime/manga without being a snob about it.

Yeah, sure go ahead and warn readers of the content. It's a mature comic with things some people think are icky, nothing wrong with warning them beforehand.

When I asked if "it fits with the page or not" I was reffering to the catty comment below the warning, not the warning itself.
