So, the image on Monster.Bleach was removed in January for spoiling that Aizen is a villain. Problem is, his status as the Big Bad of the first half of the series has been a Late-Arrival Spoiler for a while now, and is such that even this very wiki frequently doesn't bother hiding his villain status. I have yet to see a single trope entry that refers to Aizen as a villain and also has his name spoiler-marked.

But if this is considered enough of a spoiler that an image needs to be taken down for featuring such a twist, then all of those entries are violations of the spoiler policy. Needless to say, given how popular the series is and how many entries it has on so many pages, a small-scale cleanup effort may be needed to spoiler-mark all those entries.

One of these days, all of you will accept me as your supreme overlord.

Full disclosure. The removal for the image for Aizen wasn't just due to it revealing his villainy, it was also due to his victim being a big spoiler.

I don't agree that we have to say "If A, then B" here. The image is the very first thing that grabs your eye on a page, and if it's a spoiler, you get spoiled before you've had the chance to read the first word of any "This page contains spoilers" warning. So it seems appropriate that images are held to a higher standard than example write-ups.

For what it's worth, spoiling that someone is a villain is far different from spoiling that they have no redeeming features. Aizen's image didn't just show he was a villain, it demonstrated that, in Bleach's long run, nothing would disrupt his status as a CM.

Also some people (mostly me, maybe others) felt the pic was extremely weak.

I have no horse in this race regarding spoilers but felt that was worth bringing up.

That kind of sounds like an argument against any Monster subpages having images.

[up] It depends on the character in question. Something like a music CM or a one-shot antagonist would be fine. I could also just be overzealous.

Nevermind.
