Weren't their previous suspension exactly for that sort of one-handed troping that you're citing in the latter half of your post?

Do we have a trope for black animated characters that resemble Black Face stereotypes?

As for the Panty Shot stuff.... yeah, I can't even notice the scene where her panties are visible, so that seems to be a guy looking too deep into it.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Do you want me to get the attention of a mod on this? Or would you like to wait for one? Because not only is that just bad troping, but what they wrote for "panty shot" has alot of bad implications regarding the troper in question...

Stardust: I'm already getting mod attention by making this thread, but it's nice of you to offer.

Hashiriya: Yes, he kept describing Nausicaä's "bodacious apple bottom" in the Ghibli movie.

EDIT: Here's a new addition to their already extensive description of "panty shots" in Tiny Toon Adventures: Terre from "The Roches" segment of "New Character Day". First, they're shown from the side and appear either light pink or flesh-colored when she moves to the side of the toy bus's backseat away from Suzzy. Then, they're revealed frontally and match her mint green skirt when she, and Suzzy, jostle with each other.

I read shonen manga in my youth. Some of it had panty shots. These aren't panty shots. They're panties happening to be visible. There is a difference. That difference is obvious to everybody who's not constantly looking for children's panties. I'm not saying Dawalk is a pedophile, but I am saying he edits like a pedophile.

They were suspended nearly a year ago, their suspension was only released a few days ago, and the Colour Failure edit was the very first one they made since they were released. And then there's this inappropriate Panty Shot obsession of theirs.

Edit: It wasn't even their first suspension. Some people never learn...

Should we lock the thread?

I don't think that Blackface example is misuse; the trope page lists animated and drawn characters. Calling every glimpse of underwear a Panty Shot even if it's not used deliberately for fanservice is a common mistake.

Oh, I realized this is the same troper who was suspended for adding examples to Through a Face Full of Fur that were just about characters blushing.

I'm not sure we do- would it be better to soft-split "actual non-black person in blackface" and "animated design which resembles blackface", or i could start a ykttw

^ I'd recommend splitting off the latter but maybe ask in Trope Idea Sounding Board.

The trope page does list animated characters, but several of them are white characters in blackface.

Before this page will get locked, I would say to say this: This is probably one of the creepiest description of three fanservice tropes I've ever seen.

Please note that this is their improved demeanor. Just check out—or better yet, don't check out—their previous style of writing.

^ Yeah, I heard that it was worse. Doesn't change the fact that they put fanservice tropes about a minor (Cartoon or not).
