Bare human legs are not NSFW or anything to EVER fuss over.

Yeah, I think that's the big thing. I'd like something cut off at the waist. Anything more than that is really more than the trope needs and just seems like showing skin for the sake of showing skin. It's not about legs, it's about ass, hips, and just hiding their front bottoms by crossing their legs.

^^Human legs just barely covering human genitalia, however, are.

^Indeed.

^^Showing skin for the sake of showing skin is what the previous image does—expose everything except the nipples. Totally pointless, even by your own standards.

^No.

Then why are you suggesting exposing skin not necessary for the trope?

I don't think the simple +/- is nearly as important as the ratio. (E.g. if it were 105 for, 100 against, it would still be +5 but almost 50:50 split, not even close to consensus.)
This. Precisely this.

Anyway: Godiva wig catalog picture? She's wearing a full body stocking...

^^That looks good, but is kind of...weird, somehow.

^But there's more unnecessary nudity in a full-body Godiva than in the anime picture.

The whole reason that the image change was proposed was because someone thought the current one (a drawing of an anime character, roughly from the waist up) was too NSFW. I really fail to see how changing it to a full-length photo of a completely naked woman is any more SFW.

The image on the Basic Instinct page shows as much "nudity" as there is in the images I support.

That's all I'm going to say.

[down]You should see the movie... or just read the page caption. A woman is hiding her vagina behind crossed legs all the same... and, my God, it's on TV Tropes as we speak!!! Doesn't anyone Think of the Children!?

I wouldn't have an issue if it wasn't quite so pixilated.

Sean, we aren't picking the image for this page based on what is on some other page. That's not how it works. The only reason given to change this image at all was that it was not entirely SFW in someone's opinion. Changing it to a more graphic image, that shows more bare skin is not going to address that. And in post #5, you yourself said

While the current picture is an example of the trope, it leaves a lot of skin exposed for little reason other than getting a few people wild over anime breasts. It's not an entirely necessary step when other possible examples show much less skin.
. Why is it now perfectly fine to go from "a lot of skin exposed for little reason other than getting a few people wild over anime breasts." to "a lot more skin exposed for very little reason that to get people wild over a real woman's ass and legs"?

The former image is pulling ahead even more. It's now +5 to +1.

^^I'm not speaking in defense of the color picture!

This and its cropped version are what I've been supporting the most.

And I'd like to point out that there is no ass anywhere in either of these pictures. And bare legs are obviously not a big deal on the wiki.

From at least post 87 on, both of the B&W Godivas were at negative numbers. I don't know how much earlier than that they dropped out of the top spots. But from then on,it was the color Godiva and the original picture.

#120: Jan 10th 2011 at 8:54:05 PM

Okay.

Anyway, again, I'm backing either B&W image.

I still think Maureen O'Hara Godiva is the better image.

(That's the black and white RL one, BTW)

Can't believe that utterly crappy picture is getting any votes at all, much less in the lead. Starting to think these polls are utterly useless. All they tell us is that we have a lot of anime fans who will vote for anything anime.

Probably has to do with the fact that in the Negima one you can actually see the boobs that are being covered, whereas in the live-action ones there's so much hair that you can't see any boobage.

And that probably factors into this.

I voted for it because the next best one was even less SFW. I'd be open to something better.

If that was true, a lot of my images would be up instead of others' suggestions in certain (deleted) Image Pickin' topics. Though I don't know if we have more fans now compared to then.

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.
