The current pic (a group of sapient vegetables including one "female vegetable") seems more like a case of Sexy Dimorphism, and there are enough characters in the pic with varying designs that it takes a moment to notice the weirdness.

So that's what female vegetables look like! I'll have to remember that next time I'm at the grocery store.

This gacha game ad has two apparently-human characters, and is less busy.

Holy merde, this was actually first suggested (jokingly) at the Crappy Image Pickin forum game! ~Excessive-Menace come see this [lol]

Anyway, I don't mind for either the OG or the suggestion. Both still illustrate the trope fine IMO.

I don't mind it being a previously-joke-suggestion, it's way better than the current to me.

I'm not sure why it was considered crappy, because the suggestion looks pretty decent to me. But isn't it supposed to be linked to the source?

[tup] Suggestion. The contrast between the silhouettes is so good I have a hard time believing it wasn't parodic or made specifically for the page.

[up][up][up] & [up][up] I'm not saying appearing on that thread diminished the pic in any way nor calling it crappy, just pointing it out cause I found it funny.

Also the source is an ad for the Gacha Game Idle Huntress: Adventure

[tup] Suggestion, since the current is another trope entirely.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

[tup] to suggestion. It reminds me of a joke where a gamer looks at the male character clothes, which is boring and drab, and then looks at the female customization, which is stylish and colorful.

[tup] To the suggestion; it has a lot less of a Smurfette Principle going for it than the current.

OP's in and tagged. Thoughts on the caption suggestions so far?

"On the one hand women have long hair and cool ribbons and butterflies love them, while on the other hand men."

Or a better variant on the idea that the female silhouette has several visible traits while the male could be literally anyone.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

[up][up] For captions, I like the one Andariel suggested above.

Also as the guy who started Crappy Image Pickin', when starting it I thought that maybe the thread might produce an actual page pic in the future, but I'm still surprised it actually happened. Lmao.
