I'd say it is. Just because RJ isn't the butt of an "RJ is flat" joke doesn't mean that there is no joke.

If it counts as a joke, then it's the wrong kind of joke to put in the pool. I've always understood the pool to be about RJ being the butt of mean jokes involving her flat chest and/or her (alleged) insecurity about it (she shows no hints of such insecurity in her in-game dialogue lines).

It's a valid joke for this pool. There's already precendent.

That one seems to me like you're misunderstanding what it's about. To me, it seem that RJ is oblivious to what the admiral's motive actually is, because she's referring to the "torpedo stat" (i.e. the weapon), not "frontal armor", "flight deck" or "fuel tanks" that are the typical KanColle euphemisms for a shipgirl's chest.

----

With all that being said, one big problem (in fact, one that trumps all of my other reservations) with lumping all jokes about RJ's flatness without caring if she's being negative or positive about said trait is that there's no reliable way of finding the positive ones. The breast envy isn't always included on the "mean boob joke" kind of posts within the pool from what I've seen, for one.

But that's the thing: It's not really a "joke" if RJ herself is acting positive about her flat-chestedness, rather than getting pissed/upset about it.

The joke is about how she's flat-chested, so yes. There are already a handful of jokes like that in the pool.

Yeah, now it makes sense. But does this really belong on "Ryuujou the Flattop" pool since she's being "flat and proud"?

After translation, and based on the sparkle by her eye, it seems to be a flat and proud RJ moment.

Well, no idea on the actual translation, but it's likely something along the lines of the shikigami planes trying to use her chest to land rather than her scroll flight deck.
