if the intended purpose of a tag is to allow users to make unsafe jokes about safe images; how do you reconcile that with the rule that comments should not normally exceed the image’s safeness rating?

• out of context does not neccessarily mean in a sexually suggestive manner. You can make a joke out of showing only a part of a scene that imply something other than sexual.  
• ‘innocently’ suggestive screencaps: kissing, bedroom eyes/winking and such rate Safe on the scale.  
• very lucky stills; sometimes events copnspire that you can freeze the vid at a moment where everything is given, by accident, to create an unintended implication.
   
  However! I’d say that even in these images, the viewer has to go the extra mile and ASSUME the image to be unsafe. A child or someone innocent will not see anything in these pics other than a frozen cap from the regular show.
   
  You can of course try to create the same illusion by editing out some of the picture to only show part of it (cut off the left half to make AJ’s hoof look like…something else, for example - and personally, THIS is where I’d draw the line. As long as the pic is directly from the show there is no reason NOT to consider it safe, even if you caught an unlucky moment.
   
  As soon as the user zoomed in on something, added text, changed the animation though, it’s a different story and most of those will probably be Suggestive instead.
   
  Obviously,  
• text edit with unsafe dialouge  
  or  
• ‘loop’ animation edit to back-and-forth motion  
  (typical)  
  are always unsafe. (Suggestive)
   
  Comments are a different problem, namely: if the intended purpose of a tag is to allow users to make unsafe jokes about safe images; how do you reconcile that with the rule that comments should not normally exceed the image’s safeness rating?
