An example of a thirst trap

  • ALT1:... that this (pictured) is a thirst trap? Source: "A refined twist on selfie culture, a thirst trap is often a photo used to entice a response, usually in the form of praise, compliments, or more explicit expressions of ardent desire." [2]

I am restoring the image to the lead, which was in the initial revision of this article, and was its illustration when it was on the front page as a WP:DYK entry, and clearly holds encyclopedic value as an illustration of the subject matter. I cannot think of any reason to remove this image, or alter it; if anyone has a disagreement beyond WP:IDONTLIKEIT, please feel free to chime in. jp×g 06:10, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why does it have to be a male specifically? There should be a second example of a female, to make it balanced. 84.170.4.142 (talk) 18:15, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

JPxG: I think that this picture, added in September, is a better illustration of the concept. The person in this picture is more specifically trying to "entice [the] viewer sexually", showing his face and more of his body, and doing a sexy pose. The pic that's currently in the article doesn't seem to be trying to "entice" in the same way: the posture is casual, and the phone is covering the person's face. Do you have an objection to me swapping this picture instead? — Toughpigs (talk) 04:05, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but it would be even better if it were a girl. Benjamin (talk) 16:33, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly disagree with inclusion of any image. There's no justification for posting an image of some random built person (regardless of sex) unless the image itself is a verifiable and notable thirst trap.

The problem otherwise is that English Wikipedia would be making someone "the face of the thirst trap" and that's just not helpful at all. Peter ^Isotalo 17:37, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
