Unclear Description: Keet

I still haven't gotten a response about the page quote referring to a non-example, and I don't think the only remaining quote on the Quotes page works. The Laconic page and description also need to be updated to reflect the new definition.

Yeah, the quote should be pulled for being non-illustrative.

I kind of like the page quote, even if it's been deemed a non-example.

I question this recently added example to the video games subpage: Robin seems more Hot-Blooded than Keet:

• Robin Newman from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies is probably this trope on steroids: nearly all of his lines are spoken faster than usual, some have the Caps Lock on, and his sentences ending by "MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!", or a variation thereof. He even breaks ceramics when he gets busted with a lie while testifying. But that's only as a male, since he's actually a girl acting manly because her parents raised her as a guy. And when she reverts back to her true self, this trope gets subverted big time.

Yeah especially since [1]◊ they specifically make angles to make it look like she has Go Nagai Sideburns.

OK, removed it. How should the Laconic be changed?

Both PlayingWith.Keet and PlayingWith.Genki Girl list the other trope under "Gender-inverted".

I mean, the crowner's still active.

Can the crowner be hooked?

Which crowner, the one that's already hooked? Something else? Or did you mean to say "locked"?

I meant called/locked.

OK, what, if anything, should be done with the Laconic and Playing With pages?

I was trying to clean up the Western Animation page but ran into some confusion. Would Bolin from The Legend of Korra be a keet or not? I find him boyish and little brother-like but he doesn't have any feminine qualities.

I never watched the show but a glance at the wiki makes him sound more like a goofy The Big Guy type personality? If so that for sure isnt this.

What happened to the crowner?

Looks like someone edited it to test something; it should really be changed back.

It's closed.

We should probably re-write the description... ~Memers?

And what should be done about the quote and laconic pages? Do page quotes always have to be examples, considering we have page images that aren't examples?

All that's left to do is clean-up the pages and move bad examples to Genki Girl, right?

The description was never re-written... Here's a first-pass at it, though I don't know how much of an improvement it is. Sandbox.Keet.

Should we axe the quote too, as Genki was deemed a Genki Guy? Also, once all the subpages are cleaned up, they should probably all be merged; Genki Girl isn't split and has far more wicks.

Looking at this old Image Pickin' thread, even back in 2011 people thought Keet just meant "hyperactive guy". shimaspawn said that Son Goku from Saiyuki doesn't qualify because "He's not an Audience Surrogate for a FEMALE audience. He's a stand in for a male audience." However, I think he does qualify since, as stated in that thread, Saiyuki clearly aimed for a female Periphery Demographic despite being shonen. That being said, his entry is lacking context.

Still not sure what to do with the Laconic and page quote.

Can we get this thread moving again? I think these two are misuse: they're loud and hyperactive, yes, but certainly not a stand-in for a female audience.

The Space Sphere on Characters.Portal:

• Keet: He's very excited about space.

On WebAnimation.Harry101UK:

• Keet: The Wave Core is really excited about underwater tests. Understandably, he's friends with the Space Core.
