The tag implication #63743 goatse -> spread_anus is pending approval.

Reason: goatse is basically if a spread anus is spread too much

Wise of you.

I'm not sure of this one due to potential edge cases. There are clear references to goatse based on the hand position and linework without an anus, such as this Audi ad that slipped through the cracks: https://i.imgur.com/gam6n.jpeg - an artist may add goatse-like symbols as a background element or reference it by a character spreading a stretchy object like a rubber band with the same finger position. In these cases, the goatse tag may be added as a meme tag (similar to loss) rather than due to a visible stretched anus.

So are we allowing goatse to be taggable on imagery that parodies/references it? If we aren't, the implication would be valid, no?

It seems to be tagged in a few cases where it's referenced by exact name (such as post #4539991) or by visual reference (top left of post #4522215 and hat design on post #4594555). Adding spread_anus or even anus would be incorrect in these cases. I'm not sure if goatse posts should continue to share the same tag or be split into two different ones, but I'm partial to keep only the current tag for simplicity's sake.

Tagging it because of its presence in text would be incorrect since visual tags don't factor in dialogue, but the other two cases do present an interesting question.

On one hand, we can disregard those cases altogether and have it reserved only for the act. For example visual references (but not depictions) of sex acts aren't counted as the sex act. But I don't think it would be wise to treat it that way, since it's not just an act or action, but has taken on meme like qualities
