Yeah, the emphasis on blue eyes on this page is kind of uncomfortable, to be honest, and I say this as a blue-eyed person. Not to mention there are four separate tropes about blue eyes—Innocent Blue Eyes, Icy Blue Eyes, Creepy Blue Eyes, and Occult Blue Eyes—but brown eyes are just "the most common eye colour on Earth." I'm not going to lie, it feels like it's veering into Unfortunate Implications territory.
Linking to a past Trope Repair Shop thread that dealt with this page: Can this even HAVE a real life section?

It's not. Go to Image Picking if you want.

Is it odd that whenever I read that phrase in a book, I always expect the subject to end up losing said eyes?
Hello world!
Noticing that most of the people in the RL section have a light-ish eye color and a sort of dark rim around the iris, suggesting depth. The few that didn't show this had big shiny highlights in their eyes in the picture.

Does anyone else think this trope (especially the real-life section) needs pruning. This trope is supposed to be for eyes noted to be extraordinary in series, and there's a lot of entries which are simply tropers gushing bout particular people/characters they think have pretty eyes.

Bummer. I liked the stuff that was removed. *sigh* Oh, well....

Just inputting some personal feedback: I, too, liked the stuff that was removed. It is always very interesting to look through real life photos of people who have pretty eyes - especially considering that many of them actually do have a ton of people commenting and gushing about them in real life. (For example, Cillian Murphy: Face it, 90% of the people who comment on how gorgeous he is WILL mention his eyes. It would seriously not be a stretch to say that one of his most defining traits are his eyes.)
You know, it's entirely possible to make a Tropers Tales page for this...

Only three mentions of brown eyes on here? :( Just three fictional examples and none in real life. Kind of makes me sad because I love brown eyes and everyone is else seems to be gaga over light eyes (I like light eyes too, but not as much as some people seem to). I expected it coming here, just... meh.
