That seems to be more an example of Dedicated Girl Fight, since although Harley does have fans, that doesn't make that scene really this trope according to the definition.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

It's alright, but I wouldn't mind seeing some other options that look more like a stereotypical catfight.

I agree that this isn't a good example at all. It's simply a regular fight where the individuals involve happen to be female; and doesn't show any of the stereotypical features such as hair-pulling, scratching, etc.

Alternative suggestions:

Suggestion 1: From a TMZ show called 'Love & Hip Hop'

Suggestion 2: Gossip Girl

Suggestion 3: CatFight by M Debalfo-Martin G (Warning, might be argued as NSFW)

I like the gossip girl best.

I'll have to agree on that. The third works, but is questionable for work.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

If only there was a shot of this fight that actually makes it clear they're fighting (actual cat vs. actual mouse with overly excited spectator)

Unfortunately, [1] @1:12 is the closest it comes.

I think the third suggestion would be best. There's also the fight that caused this image [1].

I think the Gossip Girl pic is the best suggested so far.

The fight in the current image actually is a good example - complete with a screeching cat sound effect - the picture just doesn't show it. This one does, though I wonder if it wouldn't be of more use replacing the image that Designated Girl Fight currently has.

Think I found another possible candidate:

CATFIGHT by DarkNowa

Ideally, would prefer to go with the Gossip Girl one instead of using ones from Deviant Art since you'd probably need to get the creator's permission, etc.

P.S.: What's the protocol regarding changing the pictues? Sorry... still kind of new to article editting.

Normal protocol is to get some discussion about it in the thread. This is not required by any rules, but it's been found to be a very good way to avoid edit wars.

Fight smart, not fair.

The Gossip Girl one is good, but it could use some touching up. It's a little dark.

I immediately thought a Catwoman vs Black Cat pic would be fitting, but I couldn't find any that I could be sure were work safe, or Catfighty enough.

And now, you've beaten me.sad

The newest one of Harley and whasserface is pretty good, but I still lean toward the Gossip Girl pic.

Guessing the consensus is towards Gossip Girl? Will swap it over shortly unless anyone else raises objections or make a better suggestion. Also, what about caption? Think the current one works well enough.

peasant Since: Mar, 2011
#16: Mar 18th 2012 at 1:43:31 PM

Changed. Question: Keep the caption?

Slight preference from a few people is not consensus. "Will do it unless someone objects" and making the change less than two hours later is pretty sketchy.

[up] The suggestion has been up for half a week with no major objections. The 'few people' you refer to are a fair proportion (and I believe the majority of those discussing the topic ~ 5/9 if I counted correctly). Besides, this thread still remains open for discussion. I opted for a more proactive approach because the previous page image (a female cartoon character drop kicking another female character) clearly did not show this trope and all too often interest in Image Pickin threads peter out, resulting in the problem not getting fixed. At least this way, at least some change will be brought into effect.

"The image will be posted unless I object" is not something that crosses anybody's mind because that's not usually how things go, unless something has so-far unanimous support. None of that (^) makes it not a weird thing to do.

I would like to point out that the move being performed in the image in question is really more similar to a lateral Cannon Spike than a drop kick.

[up] #3 from that is the best of those, but I dunno that I'd put it over the Gossip Girl pic...love the caption suggestion.

[up][up] I prefer the first. Very staged, but shows the trope. The others are just too messy. Well, the last isn't, but it didn't give me the right feeling.

I've got another possible contender. I've had this one for a while.

It was inevitable
