Brought up here. The fact that it's a real life pic strikes me as incredibly complainy, and doesn't even illustrate the trope all that well either.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

Keep. The only problem I see with the pic is that the silver medal is a bit hard to spot.

Complaining? It's a meme that she's repeatedly acknowledged and taken in stride: [1] [2] [3]

That said it would be a better pic if she weren't covering the silver medal.

Even without the context I don't see how it's complaining, though. Weak illustrativeness maybe, but I think it's a weak Keep Until Better Image Suggested. Objectionable real life troping maybe, but I think that's negated by her repeated Meme Acknowledgement.

Keep until better image is suggested.

Keep, but the current image has a website watermark in the lower right: here is one without it:

[up]First one has terrible quality, and the second one seems to be copyrighted. Neither are better than the current.

I have a suggestion for an image. Only problem is that it's a fanart

[up] That's really good. He's still active on Twitter, if you want to seek out permission.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

That's pretty good. It helps that it's not the second-placer who's mad, minimizing overlap with Sore Loser.

We've gotten permission from that artist before (Resentful Outnumbered Sibling), so hopefully they'll still be responsive if someone reaches out.

Asked for permission on tumblr.

No. He doesn't allow private messages on Twitter or Tumblr. I tried using "ask me anything" anonymously on Tumblr but that doesn't seem to have worked. I don't know if the artist ignored it or what.

Crowner's hooked. I skipped the suggestions in 11 for the reasons in 12.

If 13 wins and the current ends up still in the positive, that means that the current is used as a backup if we don't get permission for 13?

Calling for 13. I've pulled the current and will list this on pics awaiting permission, locking up.
