"How long has the image been there?" doesn't count for anything at all.

It should if an image has been there for a full year with nobody saying anything about it.

Why? It's totally bad. "No one noticed" or "no one said anything" don't make it less bad, do they?

It's like saying that an non example was on a page for a year, therefore it's a good example.

"He is sexy. You'd have to play the games to understand but he really can get all the ladies if he wanted." - DRCEQ

Right there is something inherently wrong with the image. "You need to play/see/read/hear it to get it."

Ok then, just for the sake of argument, why hadn't anyone brought this up earlier?

The wiki is huge, people are lazy, and the percentage of users who actively participate in the left-side forums is pretty small.

There's a scene in Avatar The Last Airbender where Zuko throws his shirt off and Doves fly all over the place in response. Could we use that, and Pot Hole to Fandom Nod?

That seems like a Bruce Lee homage, if anything. And since it's happening in the show, it's hard to convey the "memetic" part. It's not just "this character is really attractive".

Pair Zuko with his shirt off with the girls going gaga over him (see here), and that might work.

Mm...maybe. Still, the issue here is that the trope is sex god by the way of Memetic Mutation. Not "sex god".

Seeing if Deviantart has some SFW pictures we could use.

Here's one. Not the best, but it's a start.

Well who said the trope wouldn't be?

Here's another possible one.

For some reason I think a harem pic might help illustrate the point

although i'd prefer a pic were the harem owner in question was a little more smug looking. As if to say that the situation isn't out of the ordinary for the character

Post links to the images, rather than just the image URLS, like so:

Actually, that could easily work. I just worry what it would look like to someone who doesn't recognize Hugh Hefner or the Playboy Bunnies.

[up] An old guy with a bunch of scantily-clad young blondes on his arm. I think it works.

Hugh Hefner will always be the ascended God of Sex so long as Playboy continues to be published. I think he's perfect.

I think he's probably the most recognizable Memetic Sex God.
