The tag implication #66758 what_has_science_done -> what is pending approval.

Reason: What_has_science_done is an extension of what.
What_has_magic_done is also an extension of what.
But where_is_your_god_now is only related to what some of the time, so therefore wiygn does not imply w.

More in favor of consolidating all these into one tag [or as some people suggest, abolishing it entirely] rather than creating implication chains.

Why do these tags even exist?

why not

mostly because we haven't got around to dealing with em

Ok, ok. I see your point there, partially. What_has_magic_done should be condensed into what_has_science_done, but what does not fully imply what_has_science_done. There are images that bite into your brain, but there are also lesser images that just nibble on your brain…

Considering this is entirely subjective they should all be thrown out the window

I, um, think that at least where_is_your_god_now should remain because it gives people a tag to blacklist something specific that covers the more…extreme images per se. Sure, it is a vague application, but when it gets added, there is a reason why it is added.

Expressing that something makes you uncomfortable doesn't seem like a very good reason to tag something.

Oh…valid point…

This is like the same argument some people made when we got rid of a tag they created for posts with locked comments
Rather than blacklisting some arbitrary tag with no subjective meaning people need think on what they specifically do not want to see and blacklist that
The blacklist can be 150,000 characters for christ's sake, you aren't going to run out of characters
Use and abuse the blacklist rather than relying on those weird subjective tags that cover many subjects, some of which you may not even want to blacklist

I think they're fun. :c

These tags seem to be more tradition than anything. Objectively useless, but there's just something... e621-y about them.

Ok, yes, yes. I hear your point. But what about the tag lol_comments? What is the qualifications for that tag to be used?

You read the comments and go 'lol'.

You're asking the person who has tried to get that tag invalidated twice. There's a potential possibility they may agree

I think it's one of those "Meta" tags, "Related to what's going on around the post (in the comments) and not the content of the post itself". Like... Tag_panic for a post with an absolute monstrous amount of tags. Though not a perfect comparison.
Instead of a "tag_panic" - it's a "comments panic" in a form of a lot of comments in the form of a lot of discussion in the sea of comments. (Generally heated.)
That's how I interpret it, but that's up for others to decide *shrug*

This is definitely relevant:

I also dislike that tag and want it gone

And this is a perfect example why:

It's used so often for drama, however we'd explicitly agreed internally that this is not a definition we want for the tag

Having a tag that contains all of the most heated posts for easy pickings is not a good thing

As an artist who draws some weird shit from time to time, these kinds of tags are are an annoyance, for the most polite way of putting it. If I ever catch them on my stuff, I remove them with extreme prejudice, because they're immature and as stated, people can learn to use their damn blacklist for the actual things they do not like.
