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.

[up] I mean. The gender is pretty important to the trope.

Never in my life would I ever have thought one day I'd login to this site and see that people are debating over whether a tornado is female or not (also, for what it's worth, I don't think a tornado being brown signifies any gender, but whatever).

Anyway, here's my suggestion for an alternate image.

[up] I like that one. We will start a thread when there is space.

Also does TrueCompanions.Animated Films have the same problem as the live-action one?

Not to sound like a hater, but this is a problem across all True Companions subpages. Did anyone else notice TrueCompanions.Anime And Manga and TrueCompanions.Video Games have the same JAFAAC issue? I'm familiar enough with the source material to get them both, but I don't think most people are.

[up]Yeah it's just people standing for both (I'm familiar with the anime one but not the video game one).

Today I learned that The Power of Cheese is an advertising trope, about commercials that overexaggerate how good their product is for comedic effect. I never knew that because the image is just a cheese-man. Just wanted a heads-up before I start a thread.

I think Filibuster Freefall has an image that's a poor fit. Opinions?

[up] Why do you say that? I think it's great. It's obviously an author using a character to voice personal grievances, which clearly wasn't intended for that originally.

I have a replacement suggestion for TrueCompanions.Animated Films, but since this is a problem with a lot of them. Should we do a thread for multiple pages?

[up][up] It does show an author airing personal grievances, but it doesn't look like the Author Tract/political part of the trope is satisfied imo.

Yes, Filibuster Freefall is mentioned to be an extreme and gradual version of Author Tract, not an author using a character to break the fourth wall for a personal reason, which could be Writer on Board.

What is going on in Beating a Dead Player? It appears somebody is firing a gun into the floor, which doesn't seem to be this trope...

[up] Red player is dead, blue player is sitting (teabagging) on top of him as a taunt.

[up] Right. So the picture shows taunting after a win (i.e. Unsportsmanlike Gloating) whereas this trope is about attacking the corpse after a win.

Heel–Face Door-Slam is really blurry.

Good morning, and good night, I hardly ever sleep. With what I have, what else do you think I'd ever need?

It's barely above him and there's not much else he could be aiming at

Personally I don't think the pic is good at all. Teabagging is just straight up not part of this trope and the gun doesn't seem aimed at the corpse, it's too close to the floor and just shooting at the floor

[up]x5 I think Heel–Face Door-Slam is fine, there's probably something better out there that actually shows the heel-face part without relying on captions but I give it a pass since I find it being a literal door slam to be funny in a visual pun sorta way. Although it does need a quality upgrade
