Talk:Genghis Khan

Answering the mod note here: It's a style of mustache named for the pulp villain.

@Robkelk @Looney Toons

So the trope entry should be changed, I gather. "Good Hair, Evil Hair", or is there a better trope?

Badass Mustache?

Either/both could apply, really.

Let's go with the more specific trope, then. I like specificity. :)

Fu Manchu had no moustache in the original novels, ironically. Just saying. He was explicitly described as clean shaven.

Adaptational quirk worth noting in examples about him on those pages, then!

The page's current image (which we inherited from TV Tropes at the fork) has been removed from Commons for copyright violation. It's also obviously modern artwork, and it plays to the stereotype.

There's a perfectly good non-stereotypical confirmed-public-domain portrait of him, painted approximately one century after his death, on Commons: File:Genghis Khan.jpg.

Should we change the page image?

Yes.

Yes, definitely.

And I know that @Looney Toons has said in the past that we should switch to PD artwork where possible... so I'm changing the image.

Concur.
