It seems to have been used for nightmare fuel(???) and on these two posts which have the line. I don't think it's a useful tag but this is probably why it exists.

it's in refrence to this porn comic page

the line did have some meme status, with it being used on image macros of characters with looks similar to that of Inchy/Caterpillow, probably most notably on a screenshot from Villager's announcement trailer for Sm4sh. ironically the meme didn't really impact the furry space much beyond the original.

This seems like just as much a valid meme tag as any

I see no reason to alias it away

Better question is, why are there no posts for it? Were they all purged?

EDIT: Ah, it appears that they weren't, but the tag itself was. Repeatedly.

A total of four different images. Only two of the images it was removed from had any relevance to the original face, one being the original comic page itself, and the other being a standalone image of the original comic's frame with meme-text on it. The other uses were just creepy faces.

Those two have clearly been the subject of an edit war, which we should probably figure out what to do about. And this seems like a good a place as any. Do we acknowledge this tag's validity by attaching it to the only two posts we know it applies to, or do we mark it as invalid even though we have plenty of other tags for memes, sometimes with only one post apiece? Doing neither seems like refusal to deal with the issue.

First of all, if it's a meme tag, then it should change category to Copyright like any other meme tag.

I don't know if this is really a useful tag in the current state. the only two posts which have ever had the tag applied in a valid sense were the source of the meme.

I bet there are other posts out there that reference the meme; they were just never spotted by someone who knew the tag existed. And even if they were curious and started typing it into the search bar, it wouldn't autocomplete because tags with no hits are treated like they don't exist (which is as it should be; the database is full of zero-hit tags that got put in and then removed for being typos or whatever).
