The tag implication #65473 4chan_anon -> anonymous_artist is pending approval.

Reason: An artist anonymously posting their artwork on 4chan is by definition an anonymous artist(?)

If it's a specific artist, 4chan_anon is their artist name and aren't anonymous (no more so than anonymousfm and other "anonymous*" artists anyway). If it's any anonymous artist on 4chan, an alias would be better, IMO (I don't think we need tags for anonymous artists posting on different sites).

I am a 4chan artist who is featured in at least 1 post on this site, but I am not intentionally avoiding connections to my work (nobody bothered to ask!), anonymity is just the cultural expectation.
In my case, and other artists who default to (but do not intentionally pursue) anonymity, this implication is incorrect.

If there is a strong need to tag/blacklist 4chan-related elements, that is something I would prefer to work on separately. Currently, I prefer cleaning up and aliasing this to anon.

i'm asking now, how long have you had art on the site?

7 years. could be longer if there's a different post i'm not aware of.

A lot of these are in a blurry zone between anonymous and unknown. I'm a bit surprised there isn't a bunch of mistags of anon since the green 4chan anon design is fairly distinctive.
