This thread is meant to be a place for people to ask questions and request discussion about existing page images they have concerns about; this can be used to determine if a thread should be made to replace an image.

For example, questions about Just a Face and a Caption concerns, whether a picture requires additional context, whether a picture demonstrates all of the necessary aspects or a trope, or whether a trope better demonstrates a related trope can be asked here.

Mod edit: Before posting here, please check the page source to see if the page has previously been discussed in Image Pickin'. Your question may already have been brought up in a prior thread.

Alright. Might be a better pic somewhere though.

I think the image's problem is that it's a bit subtle on the vampire part.

He looks like a stereotypical vampire to me.

Could be better, but I do see a second Charlie Chaplin doing what the first one wishes he could do.

Note how the Chaplin that kicks the guy is translucent, indicating he isn't real. The real Chaplin is just sitting there, glaring at the guy the whole time.

Note that if it's clear from the beginning that it's fantasy then it's Imagine Spot, not this trope.

Can't say I get it without reading the trope name, it shows a man splitting himself and kicking the other.

[up] The trope name is allowed to provide extra context. The concern should be "is this understandable as it is on the page", not necessarily "is this understandable devoid of context". The second one is nice to have, but it's not required.

I will say I had no idea the character doing the kicking was supposed to be imaginary.

While the image for Psycho Lesbian definitely is an example of the trope, it's not that much illustrative. Basically if you don't know what's going on in Girls Bravo, Kosame could be holding Kirie at gunpoint for any reason.

I'd suggest this image by shirairye. She's obviously molesting her and the unhinged look in her eyes definitely indicates she's got a few screws loose.

[up]DA considers the image NSFW, so it won't allow viewing it without login. If you really think it's safe anyway, start a thread and upload the picture here first. Also as a DA image, we might need to ask permission from the creator.

I think the blush on the attacking girl makes it clear enough that she's attracted to her.

[up] And the fact that she's grabbing her breast.

Anywho, Psycho Lesbian is on Don't Change the Pic and was formerly No Pic Ever, so you're going to need a really good replacement suggestion if you're thinking of changing it.

[tdown] to that FGO pic; I'd say a blatant boob grab like that is over the NSFW line.

Double-posting to note that we discussed that one behind the scenes and agreed that it's not going to be considered.

Is Fake in the Hole clear to anyone else? The text is too small to read on my monitor, so the dramatic body languages makes it look to me like people are panicking over a real grenade.
