Caption Discussion/Repair Thread:

Go To

This is the thread to use if you feel that the page image itself is good but the caption needs help.

If you think that both the image and the caption are poor, please make a thread in Image Pickin' for the page, and we'll work on the image and caption both at the same time.

As with other TRS and IP threads, please state your reasons and make your case in your first post. Don't make the other posters spend time trying to pry it out of you.

I don't think eyelashes look different at all without makeup in reality, but cartoons swing the pendulum all the way to the other end, acting like even having eyelashes is gendered.

Gloss over it and say "mascara" instead?

[up] Which then gets folded into "makeup".

We could also go the opposite direction and break "makeup" down into "lipstick, blush, mascara".

I really dislike the caption on the image for Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon", especially because the show is not for kids but is TV-MA

[up]The caption and pothole are saying it's NOT for kids.

EDIT: I thought you were talking about the main work page, but you meant the Nightmare Fuel page.

[up] Only the pothole is saying it's not for kids. Though honestly, using that quote as a caption for Nightmare Fuel pages has always been a pet-peeve of mine

The caption for Dwarf Fortress is unnecessarily vulgar.

It was brought up in IP a while ago and voted to keep.

But it's been over seven years. Maybe people feel differently now.

I wouldn't change it. I'm used to profanity thanks to the golden age of the Internet and as far as I know, three swears aren't NSFW.

I’m pretty sure we’re supposed to avoid being vulgar whenever we can.

I suppose we could have a crowner on it, possibly recycling the options from the old thread.

"It senses fear!" for Ironic Fear was proposed, but no consensus was reached due to discussing which panels to use instead.

For the video game subpage of badass adorable:

Cream is a six-year-old that understands Chao, can fly with her ears, (which by the way apparently are strong enough to carry a hedgehog and a big-ass cat at the same time) AND knows how to grind on rails. Cream is a badass.

On Semi-Divine, I'm not sure potholing "full gods" to Sentient Cosmic Force is correct.

In this IP thread, we all agreed on a caption crowner for Series.Zoey 101.

[up] Before that one's made - are there any other threads that are needing caption discussion? We can wrap a thread or two into one crowner, we just need to make sure to note the pages in the options.

We had no caption consensus on the new Living Toys image, but I do like the one AmourMitts suggested.

For a future crowner, options for the new pic on Unimpressive Progress Reveal: "Please tell me I'm almost there." or "Does the air seem a bit thin to you up here?"
