Hmmm, but that one is two panels, while this one is only one. Is it enough of a difference?
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerYeah.. that pic is on Aren't You Going to Ravish Me? already.
I think it would be a good replacment if not for the fact that it doesn't demonstrate the trope. it lampshades it, but there's still nothing wrong with the current image because nothing NSFW is actually shown. What is shown is a girl wearing a socially-accepted amount of clothing, who is in moderate discomfort while being wrapped up and touched around by tentacles. It's pretty clear what is going to happen, at which point it will then become NSFW. But that portion is not shown by what is currently displayed.

Same image with subtitle removed.

Well, that removes the explicitly implied rape of the picture.
I think the whole Naughty Tentacles business is pretty foul, but also that what I think is fair or foul is not the best standard for measuring what other people think. I don't think it would scandalize my imaginary grandmother; nothing explicit is depicted (the scandalous part is probably not something she'd work out), and I dunno what she'd be doing reading a page about tentacle rape anyway. Please elaborate about what's wrong with the image.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Looks good to me, she's even wearing a full one-piece bathing suit. I really wish we didn't have the no-nudity thing and we could actually use The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife though.
Also, if you haven't looked that up on Wikipedia, do yourself a favor and read it. The translation of the octopi and the fisherman's wife talking is hilarious. Especially given the usual boring, neutral Wikipedia tone to the article.

"Did anybody invent this stuff on purpose?" - Phillip Marlowe on tequila, Finger Man by Raymond Chandler.I think the image is SFW, but I don't really think this page needs an image. And while images are very often nice, I don't see how an image for a page about tentacle rape would be.
I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!It is amusing.
No love for Tentacle Grape?
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.
Doesn't show the trope at all. Tentacles approaching a girl could mean that it's Naughty Tentacles, Combat Tentacles, or even Tentacle Rope.
The one shimaspawn posted (post #89) is the only one so far that I've liked. Maddy's #111 isn't so bad I guess.
Way to miss the point, dude. We aren't supposed to link NSFW images on these pages, so why on Earth would it be OK to embed them?
It depicts a woman being sexually groped by a bunch of tentacles.
Also it's kind of rapey and fetishistic. They all are, actually.

Welcome To TV Tropes | How To Write An Example | Text Formatting Rules | List Of Shows That Need Summary | TV Tropes Forum | Know The StaffAnd now the perennial question: will a jokey image water it down or trivialise it?
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.I think you folks are letting your imaginations get the best of you.
Yes, there is a woman who looks uncomfortable with the fact that tentacles are touching her. But what about that image in itself is NSFW?
The girl? The tentacles? The swimsuit she's wearing?
I think you folks are letting your imaginations take over about what you assume is going to happen next. You want it pulled because all you can think about is the actual physical penetration that happens later.
As mentioned a few posts above, what is so NSFW about reaching 2nd base in the current pic?
The image in #111 doesn't show the trope, though. It could be any of the tentacle tropes, really.
The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.![]()
Hmmm, I'm on the fence, but if we can make that connection, then chances are other people can do that as well, and they will also think of it as dirty. Context counts.
Repeating Loni's point, does the picture really add anything that's worth the NSFW implications?
