create implication the_pose (584) -> lying (408969)
create implication the_pose (584) -> on_front (62780)
create implication the_pose (584) -> feet_up (2695)

Reason: My understanding is that the_pose is literally just a combination of those three tags, so let's just make sure all the bases are covered, and turn it into a bit of a shortcut while we're at it.

That's quite a generic tag name, which could easily be misused for any popular pose. It may be better to give it a different name and alias to pose.

At minimum, call it something like "prone leg curl", that's infinitely more descriptive.

honestly, this just seems like an unnecessarily specific use case with an unnecessarily nonspecific tag name. I don't know how this thing has managed to survive since more or less the inception of the site.

it ought just be purged.

If a character does the_pose in zero_gravity are they still on front?

It seems to be a meme, like virgin_killer_sweater or mega_milk and I think that justifies it existing, but yeah the specifics of the pose should be tagged individually instead of just "the pose" because memes are meaningless to the uninitiated and the uninitiated need search to work, too.

For what it's worth, I remember hearing the term ages before I signed up here, and it's only recently that I discovered it was a tag. I can't imagine the logic in coming up with such a generic term, especially one that's ungoogleable. Maybe it's older than even search engines.

Which is kind of why I proposed this. So it won't matter anymore whether people bother to tag all three components or not. I suppose most of you would rather it be an alias, but aliasing something to multiple tags still isn't a thing.
