The current image has bugged me ever since I first saw it.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/costume_designs_childish.png

Yes, this girl has breasts, indicating that she's at least a tween. However, this photo doesn't really scream "Child who is immature for their age" to me. The drawings are childish-looking, sure, but maybe she just can't draw? Artistic ability has little to do with age. And I've seen teenage girls with rainbows on their shirts before, so that doesn't seem that out of the ordinary either.

I don't have a suggestion for a replacement (maybe I should have had one before I started the thread, but I'm not sure how I'd even search for a photo like that) so maybe someone else does. Something like a teenager with a stuffed animal sucking their thumb would be a much more suitable photo in my opinion.

The current was selected here and kept on the page here. I think it's a decent Keep Until Better Image Suggested case; she's definitely in her early teens but the clothes and drawings are very childish so visually it works.

While I'd be okay with swapping it for something better, we...well, need something better. Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Yeah, keep. The clothes, drawings, and the way of presenting the drawings are all plenty childish. Maybe t-shirts with rainbows are relatively common. But that in addition to a pastel pink hat with a smiley face and cat ears?

It's weak, but better than nothing.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested — I still agree with my reasoning from that previous thread:

"she's visibly an older kid doing kiddie stuff [...]crayon drawings are more obviously childish"

This went like I expected it would. I'll adjust the tag; locking up.
