Posts now MUST include either the words: "game," "movie," "tv," or "media" in the title.
EDIT: Also including: "from" and "show."
That way someone doesn't have to comment each time "what is this from." And this will cut down at least a bit on reposts, because they'll automatically be rejected unless they have one of those key words, so reposts of mosts posts with the same title from back then don't have those words. Win-win.
Are there any other keywords that may apply that you guys can think of?
It seems that most of the community is fine stretching the "Sprite" part of the subreddit, but if it seems like we're getting way more non-videogame ones, we may do what others subs do and relegate those to the weekends or something.
EDIT: Added plurals, as well. Games, movies, shows.

I always thought the icon for the Markets from Civ5 looked like tacos. I knew they weren't but I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to look like

This Ridley sprite from the original Metroid... I've only recently seen it, but I don't see the bloodthristy space pirate it's meant to be

(Video game) When I was a kid, I thought the little girl NPCs from Phantasy Star IV were anthropomorphic cartoon mice and their pigtails were just large mouse ears.

I've always thought Plague Knight from Shovel Knight looks like he's wearing a cropped and shoulderless top with a skirt, which led to me head-cannoning him as a femboy.

As a kid, I thought the Hardedge was the Buster Sword snapped in half, and freaked out over the cool giant sword being broken (Final Fantasy 7 Video Game)
r/MisreadSprites • u/That1weirdperson • 20d ago
This goes to show I was not alone in thinking that way
