But which one could it be?
 
Questionable →Sexually-emphasized gross scenarios, such as:  
→→Being in a throat, stomach, or intestines
 
While it is in their throat, there is nothing that indicates it as sexually-emphasized, more of a ‘cartoon gag’ view.
 
Suggestive as a mid term could be applicable but it is not in line with any of the rating criteria.
 
Similar occasions in canon such as >>1334442 are rated safe.

questionn about tags relating to image descriptions ?  
Like if the image itself is safe but there is story/details in the description that would warrant a higher/different rating or possible warning tags ? I don’t know how this is handled and would love some clarity on it

@Princess Luna  
makes sense, let me dig up an example  
>>2319010 and the rest of this series, images are clearly safe but the desc have some heavy themes so I’m wondering if there are tags/grim ratings that should be added ??  
I like the story but noticed how jarring it is to go from a pic of just the m6 to the topic of rape in the desc

I think that artist got a bit lazy at a certain point and wanted to just draw his restyled Mane 6 and OCs instead of monsters and such all the time. The descriptions are difficult because they’re gigantic textwalls that probably need just a few sentences spoilered, but no, that won’t mess with the image ratings.
 
EDIT: I looked over them and there was a big part of the previous image to spoiler (lots of stuff about Rarity’s genitals), but nothing in that image itself…while it’s a heavy theme, the description doesn’t even refer to the name of what’s being investigated once, leaving it on its own ambiguous, which is Safe.

In regards to “poni licking poni”, for ratings purposes, it’s not really a kiss if tongues are only licking.

Does this still rate as suggestive under the new rules? The prominent butt might make it a bit borderline, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t count anymore.

If it does deserve a demotion to safe then the comment section probably needs a little cleaning, too. There’s a lot of suggestive discussion down there.

It’s pushing it, but I don’t think it’s even all that sexual; she’s just uncertain about fitting out a door…
 
@Napsack  
Posing doesn’t appear to be sexual, something the villain would do just being herself.

Just a flurry of H₂O
I’ve had a couple of images with cartoony explosion deaths retagged (by site mods) from semi-grimdark to safe, but I can’t understand why. Semi-grimdark says:  
  • Dying violently/painfully in a comedic/cartoonish manner (x eyes etc.)
 
And that appears to be a perfect fit. Examples: >>1098929 (explosion, caption tells us she’s dead in case we didn’t get that part), >>642766 (explosion, missing head, lots of static electricity, falling down).
 
In the first case I guess you could maybe argue that if you never saw the body it’s just a Disney death, but even that certainly doesn’t apply to the second one.

@Background Pony #198B  
“Asking” isn’t the word I would use for this.  
Anyways, even if we consider that the image indicates she can’t use magic to escape just like she did with Twi in the post above, we saw actual distress like this in the MLP movie, and in an underwater enclosure that would be hard to swim out of, no less. Starlight here pretty clearly just needs to get to the surface.  
I did a review of drowning images a while back and came up with a pretty simple standard that as long as the character’s free to move around normally and still holding their breath, it’s Safe since we assume they have a way to get to safety in time.
 
@Wellwater  
This hinges on the meaning of “violently/painfully”. Instant explosions I’d say are neither. Really, the question is whether it’s worse than what the show does with villains, so the question’s whether it’s worse than this:

Well, fair point that the show did something fairly similar but more so. (Although that picture does have [you know for kids] on it.)
 
But then that raises the question of consistency. If we carve out an exception for any pictures of being violently exploded to death because the show did that, but still consider x-eyes between-frame suffocation semi-grimdark, it’s really weird. Mightn’t it be better to just fall back on saying “anything in the show, or a direct scene interpretation thereof, is guaranteed safe, and anything beyond that has to follow the explicit rules laid out”?
 
That, or open the can of worms of trying to suss out whether the character(s) being exploded to death are primary villains, secondary antagonists, mooks, background ponies, secondary protagonists, or Our Heroes, since it seems intuitive that it’s a lot more grim and dark to have the hero and/or viewpoint character get exploded than to see the bad guy get his just desserts by being scattered in small pieces across a frozen desert.

Taking a “here are the rules but the show gets a pass” approach creates a huge problem in how to extrapolate the rules. Consider the ponification of a scene from a Disney movie, and what rating it gets; exact same content as the G-rated movie, but…Semi-grimdark? At the very least, a Disney Villain Death must be Safe.
 
If you then consider exempting only villains, there is a further wrinkle in that pretty much every kids movie feels the need to kill off the hero’s parents. I don’t see how we could reasonably enter a situation where both deaths of villains and deaths of heroes’ loved ones can be exempted but not deaths in general; the two are directly opposite and don’t share a common thread that makes them okay aside of literally just “not the protagonist”.
 
Finally, if we were to exempt, for example, anything that’s from or a direct ponification/scene interpretation of kids’ media, we arrive at some major problems:  
  1. Some kids’ media is actually really horrifying, like the way the villain dies in Osmosis Jones. We need the freedom to decide that is actually not okay.  
  2. Because of the extreme prevalence of Disney kids movies in the childhoods of people in the fandom, this would exempt such a wide swath of content that it would be incredibly unfair to those who aren’t just copying a scene from their childhood.  
  3. Because there is a lot of kids’ media, it may even be hard to determine what is and is not directly from, or directly mimicking, such media.  
  4. This actively discourages making less derivative content.
     
    In conclusion, since all of that is unworkable, we should instead use the show and similar media as guideposts for what content is okay to show to children. We just need maybe some better wording on Semi-grimdark, which trust me, is one of the harder ratings to pin down correctly.
     
    As for the Derpy image, it was originally rated outright Grimdark, which is obviously incorrect. I’m pretty sure it should be Safe, and that I rerated it to Semi merely out of an abundance of caution so as to not overdo ratings corrections while going over multiple images.

Again, I bring up my two factors which you should really take into consideration. 1) We don’t know for sure if Starlight can swim or not. Sure, we know she’s a powerful magic user, but that doesn’t mean she’s a great swimmer. 2) Even if she could swim, Starlight could be so deep that she’d drown before she could the surface.

We should not be coming up with wild assumptions of character inability to force an image to be dark, and there is nothing in the image suggesting she’s incapable of swimming. As well, she’s apparently just as low down (not very far, that’s a lot of light) as she was in the episode with Twilight. The image is a mild moment of distress from immediate teleport not working, and likely is actually meant to imply Twilight just teleported without her and now has to come back and get her.
