Does Not Illustrate: For Science

"For Science!" is about characters that ignore the potential dangers or harms of their experiments and go on with them anyway, to increase scientific knowledge just for the sake of knowledge itself. The image, however, only illustrates that Naked People Are Funny. We need a replacement ASAP, or to pull the image if no good replacement is found. I have found this one, a guy talking about expanding science while performing a bloody surgery (but I'm open for other proposals).

Note that there is a note that says "Admin note: Please do not change the image" but with no explanation, and I did not find previous image discussion threads for this one. I found in the discussion that the current image was criticized in 2012. Perhaps it was an admin stopping an edit war? In any case, not changing an image without discussion is already a rule, so the hidden comment is redundant.

This is one of the old "admin fiat" pages. We've had at least two prior threads. The former thread actually chose a new pic, but Eddie not only changed it back to the current, he removed the tag for the thread.

I'm not really feeling the suggestion.

[up]Me neither. I say we restore the image chosen by the previous thread (it's from Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name, by the way).

If there was a previous thread that decide one, restore that one

The restore example looks like a single-panel strip.

[up]I can't find it anywhere else. I say we should ask Tess, the creator of HINABN, for permission on Twitter or Tumblr.

I sent Tess a tweet asking for permission; see if he responds. I don't have a Tumblr account.

Still no response, and Tess' Instagram and Tumblr look a lot more neglected than his Twitter.

Until we hear from the creator, pull current for being unillustrative?

I like this image from Mahou Sensei Negima!, but could we find a higher-quality version? It's a bit text-heavy, but the Scary Shiny Glasses and shocked expressions of the bystanders add to it.

[up]I'm not absolutely happy with it, but it's the best suggestion so far.

[up][up]I suppose that could work, at least for now.

As a side note, something like 16.4 might be better on Professor Guinea Pig. I don't find the Visual Pun on that page to be particularly illustrative, anyway.

It's funny because we're all living in a simulation and free will is a lie.

Reclocked this one. I don't like any of the other suggestions; the quality of the Negima scanlation is horrible, and none of the other pics really get the trope across for me. I do agree that 16.4 is better for Professor Guinea Pig than its current.

Here is the raw page, from Negima! chapter 75.

I'm good with 20/16.4 for Professor Guinea Pig. Not sure about the suggestions for this one.
