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.

I see a "Usa Africa" sign in the background, but I don't think that's enough.

[up] Skimming through the description of the trope it's basically performing surgery anywhere but at the hospital. Considering the typical surgery garb the patient is in, the hand reaching for a box (that probably contains surgery tools) and that Earth can be seen through the window, the pic seems to be about surgery being performed in a space station, which fits the trope.

I'd mistake it for any other game compilation.

Is the pic on Lawful Pushover illustrative? Other than the fact that it has lots of subtitles, it isn't clear that she has authority or is a pushover.

[up]Yeah, it's a pretty bad image.

Someone who's about to get punched looks completely different on the next frame. Counts enough for me, but the crop on the left is ugly.

Am I the only one not quite getting "uncomfortable" vibes from the pic for Uncomfortable Elevator Moment?

Yeah that just looks like two guys in an elevator to us.

The guy on the left's expression saves it; I react the same whenever someone's wearing something outlandish in an elevator and try not to look at them. I'd prefer a replacement suggestion before pulling.

I guess I can see that. Everyone reacts differently.

All subpages of Forceful Kiss (except from ForcefulKiss.Animated Films and ForcefulKiss.Video Games), don't look "forceful" to me. And their source aren't tagged (they were recently added without discussion).

[down]Yes, I meant these subpages

To clarify, you mean ForcefulKiss.Anime And Manga, ForcefulKiss.Comic Books, ForcefulKiss.Live Action TV, and ForcefulKiss.Western Animation? In which case, yeah, I tend to agree, though I think the Live Action TV one is acceptable since we can see her grabbing the guy's head and holding it in place.

…Two people injured and a guy who not only doesn’t give a crap that they’re injured, is actively smug about it.

[up] It definitely doesn't show the villainous part.


Is it clear that Kim is Ron's girlfriend in Action Girlfriend's pic to someone who doesn't know the show? They look like an Action Duo more than anything.

The thing is that technically, for most of the series they are just friends. So this would fall under This Image Is Not an Example if it actually illustrates.

Any idea what the picture of a lemur has to do with Malagasy Mythology (I mean aside what the caption says)?

What's going on in Cerebus Call-Back? I assume the top image is the serious version, but the way it's laid out implies it happens before the bottom image.
