Caption Discussion/Repair Thread: Low Tech Spears

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.

The caption on Ensemble Dark Horse was modified to include a note linking to This Image Is Not an Example, which I think is unnecessary as the page is already indexed on that page. Plus, as we discussed in that thread and as that very index discusses, Luna did qualify as an example at the time of the image.

A-Cup Angst links to a site with VERY inappropriate images. It needs to be redone.

I replaced the Danbooru link with a direct image link; does that work instead?

Not related to captions, but we should do it with Derpibooru images too! Their stuff is damn creepy. Though many I have seen violate Weblinks Are Not Examples.

Late reply regarding the previous Danny Phantom caption, Nickelodeon did indeed use "Not seeing is believing" as a tagline, in early commercials: https://youtu.be/6cfE0_PMK0g

[up][up]Isn't Derpibooru only creepy in the standard brony way (i.e. there's suggestive stuff but you can limit your searches to SFW stuff too), and not dedicated to being a porn/shock/whatever site?

[up] Yep. Besides, the only image on this website that I know uses a Derpibooru link as a source is Winged Unicorn, and I’m not seeing anything NSFW by clicking on it (the worst thing you can see is the occasional suggestive advertisement).

Eh. If you browse Twitter and Reddit and nearly any 18+ other site long enough, long enough you'll find porn there too. Derpibooru doesn't seem to be much worse, and linking to direct posts doesn't easily recommend you porn either.

In December 2020, haghdavid changed the caption on Groin Attack from

Woman of Steel, Crotch of Kleenex.

to

I prefer the old caption; the current is confusing for people not familiar with King of the Hill.

Went ahead and removed this caption from Series.Frank Herberts Dune, because, frankly, it's pointless:

William Hurt does appear for a few minutes

I don't think the page really needs a caption.

As I mentioned on the IP discussion thread, I'm iffy on Home Nudist's caption. Is it alright for me to remove it?
