Suggestion: Sexy Dimorphism

New trope, fresh off the presses.

These two were suggested in the TLP: a crop of Oglaf's "Dimorphism" strip (might be NSFW so I'm putting the two panels I like most here, other panel combinations might work too) and these World of Warcraft examples (top left and bottom right, maybe? Also must be transparent).

I think the first of the Oglaf panels could work on its own...I'd say both are good but I dunno about the male deathcap, both for shape and for bulge. The Wo W ones are good but I dunno that we need nude versions, a simple pic of a male and a female from those species together should suffice.

I agree with the bulge on the deathcap being a little much. I think the T-rex/regina panel is good enough to work well on its own, and the bizzareness of applying it to dinosaurs gets my vote.

(And as a sidenote: It's good to see that this trope finally ended up being created. It was always this really clear subtrope that I was routinely surprised that we didn't have.)

For World of Warcraft, we can also use one of these: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or a collage of them. A slight problem with them is that the Horde ones (apart from the bright blue trolls) blend a bit into the background.

[tup] 10.1 for clarity on account of the titilating body language compared to 10.2.

Yeah, I vote for the T-Rex. It's funny, all else aside.

It's a good point that the females on these World of Warcraft images aren't sexualized (the game sometimes gives them Chainmail Bikini, but not here). Plus, the Oglaf example is funnier.

For the record, I don't even agree with the meme's point. I just felt how concisely it makes it went well with page images. "Credit where credit is due" and all that.

That said, 10.1 works too.

That's plenty of consensus for 10.1. It's in and tagged; caption?

That works. I'll add it shortly; locking up in the meantime.
