So this is an odd one. Back in December, ~xxrandompeepxx removed the image without an edit reason - they didn't even remove the commented out credit. A few days ago, ~igordebraga added a new image from Mortal Kombat, themselves lampshading the old image's removal... despite them adding a new image that is completely unillustrative.

I lean toward restoring the old pic, pending something that actually depicts the reaction inherent in the trope.

This was the old image credit:

Image pic by artist Tom Burns, originally a T-shirt design sold through Threadless.

If it is/was for sale, then we shouldn't be using it, no?

I don't really like the current but I don't think it's completely unillustrative; she has large ...tracts of land and a scary face.

Yeah, we're not supposed to use for-sale T-shirt designs without explicit permission. The current image works, showing her Scary Teeth and large breasts, but it definitely needs a quality upgrade, and probably shouldn't be cropped so high up either to show more of the shapely body inherent in this trope.

[up][up] Ah, if that's the case then pulling it was the right call, although there should've been a thread about it. I agree with [up], the current isn't bad but the quality's not great and a full body shot of her would be better.

[up]That's a bit dark. I also prefer the current for being one-panel.

[up][up][up][up] I'm not a fan, because her arms and hands also look misshapen and/or mechanical, and you can't really see much from her body and legs. That looks like The Grotesque or possibly Body Horror, but not a Butter Face.

So I'd say keep the current.

I prefer 11. I don't like the cropping in 16.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

[up]16 isn't cropped, it's a screenshot from a 4:3 music video. 16>Current>11; Mileena's Stripperiffic outfit in the current (cropped from this) gets the trope across better.
