I wonder if this photo of Dhalsim could illustrate this trope.

Dhalsim, an self-disciplined pacifist who can tame an rampaging elephant without hurting it.

[tdown], I see the "badass", but not the "pacifist"

But since the page does not have an image, you can try the thread

The old photo was gone, yet there’s a example in This Image is not a Example.

Yeah I would have to agree and say BUPKIS

BUPKIS — this will be pretty hard to illustrate in a single image

The trope is explicitly not "Nice person who will kick your ass if you make them angry"; and the OP image suggests that to me (because of his big muscles, and he's casting some kind of spell in the second image). So that's not it.

From the examples section, maybe this?

Voting for BUPKIS.

How about the current on The So-Called Coward? I think that might work better here.

Edit: Figured I should probably include it in my post:

BUPKIS.

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

Still saying BUPKIS. All of the suggestions so far don't really fit the trope very well.

[tup] 14. That's a very good point, a combat medic is clearly both badass and a pacifist; and maybe this is Values Dissonance here but I don't think anyone in the past fifty years would consider a combat medic any kind of coward.

I agree with moving.

Clock is set. The thread is leaning towards BUPKIS; should we crowner the suggestions or go ahead with that status?

[tdown] to 14. I don't really see the "pacifist" part in that image other than the text from the bottom-left.
