Do we really have a panty shot of an adolescent girl as the primary image of a featured article? -hx 10:11, 22 October 2013 (EDT)
- Dear god I never noticed that. Eww. I concur that this perhaps needs changing. Jalaguy 10:30, 22 October 2013 (EDT)
- I'm not crazy about the style, but it is a nice piece of art insofar as it includes both the human and the transtector, and it's not just a model sheet from a magazine. That being said, maybe it can be cropped higher for underwear reasons? -LV 10:43, 22 October 2013 (EDT)
- Just tried cropping it, and it's not possible to keep the robot's fingers intact without the human's undies peeking out a bit. --Inkblot 10:49, 22 October 2013 (EDT)
- Apparently this talk was already had on the article talk page, and the consensus was "It's creepy, but it's the best art we have." I would suggest altering the image caption to that effect. I feel like Chris Hansen is going to show up at my door for looking at that thing. -hx 10:55, 22 October 2013 (EDT)
- Are we really that concerned with keeping the robot's fingers in the frame? She's already missing her legs and right arm, a few phalanges more or less isn't going to matter. If that is the only objection, I say go ahead and crop it. --Khajidha 11:47, 22 October 2013 (EDT)
- It is pretty hard to crop aesthetically. The panties don't offend me enough to want to go crazy about it. It's far from the worst thing on the wiki anyway (thanks KP!). -LV 12:20, 22 October 2013 (EDT)
