Hi! The current caption for Blindfolded Trip seems like a complaint. I think it's a fair one, but don't think the caption is the right place for it.

Yeah, remove it. It's a weird complaint because nothing really bad even happens in that scene, if I remember correctly.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

The caption for Different States of America has this big note saying the map maker got stuff wrong; while I understand accuracy, it does not need to be that long:

"Sunshine Island" is actually a fan name for lack of a better term when the map was created; the canon name is "Florida Island". "Kansas" is referring to the city and not the state.

The caption for Shirtless Scene was changed without discussion here. Should this be reverted like if the pic was changed without discussion?

"I just want what everyone else has, that's all."

I like the new one better.

There's no note in the source about a consensus for the pic or caption, so I don't think it's troublesome that people are tweaking it.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

The new one is way better. The old one is 2010 cringe.

I know it's It Was His Sled at this point but the caption on Coy, Girlish Flirt Pose is a borderline-spoiler for Doki Doki Literature Club! and not relevant to the trope. "Monika wants to spend some time to get to know each other better, just you and her." would get the point across without hammering it in.

Is this a good caption for Wholesome Crossdresser? It's a line from the episode the shots are from.

"That mystery guest bit had "Steven" written all over it."

I don't think it's clear to people who aren't already familiar with the episode (I say as someone who is), and even if they could figure it out, it doesn't have much to do with the trope.

How about something like...

Everybody needs a friend who'll stand in for them when they're wracked by stage fright.

Explains the situation a bit, plus a reference to some of the song lyrics from the bottom scene. ("Everybody needs a friend, / And I've got you and you and you.")

[up] I like that caption, but I think namedropping Steven could be important too, as it clarifies he's a boy.

Everybody needs a friend like Steven who'll stand in for them when they're wracked by stage fright.

Everybody needs a friend who'll stand in for them when they're wracked by stage fright. Sadie's got Steven.

Hollywood Genetics is very wordy. Should it be cut down to something like "The chances of 3 kids in a row being born with red hair is 1/64 at best" or is the wordy caption okay?
