The picture being used is fanart of Rin and Len from Vocaloid.

So? The point of a page image is to illustrate the trope, in this case, by showing what a sarashi is and how it's worn. It doesn't matter that it's fanart.

Here we go again [1] here is the old thread... Still say this should only be about the Taped Bra as a subtrope to Bandaged Babe, the Other Wiki has it like this as well.

The description says sarashi are worn by both men and women... is that not right?

No, it's correct. It's just shown on females in media more often...

And wow. the last topic was only locked one month ago and I'm surprised to see a new one already.

I think the complaint in the OP is that the image is fanart rather than official art. I'm pretty sure that we have no rule against fan art as long it illustrates the trope and doesn't look like crap, so there's no real problem here that I can see.

Why not Sano from Rurouni Kenshin? Sarashi is part of his official outfit.

This one has the benefit of demonstrating both the male and female versions in a SFW manner.

What's precedent ever done for us?

We've had this discussion before, and fairly recently too. It was chosen because it clearly illustrates both the male and female versions in a single image. Discussion over.

It doesn't even look like fanart to me.

SFW and has both genders. Hard to argue with this one.

The OP seems to be under the impression that we don't use fanart for some reason. I'm not sure why.

I'm not familiar with Vocaloid. Maybe he/she implies that there are official renditions of these characters in said outfit. That could be good, yes. But I am just guessing.

So far the only reason to change it that's been offered is "It's not official art." Not that it's non-illustrative, not that a better one has been offered. Simply "it's fanart" which is not a sufficient reason. And considering that we just had a substantial thread, and it's been linked in this thread, I'm going to lock this one up.
