Let’s do it. It make sense, especially with new rules.
Tagging "out of context" as suggestive.
barbeque 
Since I totally not follow that tag (ok maybe I do), imo an image like @Grieffon linked is fine as safe
(incidentally the out-of-contextness of such pics stopped being funny ages ago, but whatever. needs more Twi selfcest (S2 finale) and flashback potion, and less ‘oh I just blinked’)
On the other hand I agree that something needs to be done about it (see pretty much any out of context pic from the season 4 premiere, for example; many of those should be suggestive, or ar least definitely not safe). The problem stems (I think) from the fact that the show is generally considered safe, and therefore people are assuming that any screencap directly from it will be safe as well.

Here’s what I don’t get: the show is safe, screencaps should by definition also be safe, and then we add the tag just so we can pretend otherwise. This is me being annoyed, though. Ignore at your leisure.
I agree with OP, though. Take >>521464. I see an adorable AJ face. Comments, not so much. Or >>522526, which is an edit and given the implication shouldn’t that have been tagged suggestive from the start? It’s hard to tell at times.

Unedited screencaps are always safe, no matter what. If they’ve been edited in any way or made to loop in just the right, sure, whatever.
Suggestive is meant to be a rating tag people can use to filter out anything “too hot” for the show.

Let’s start from the top:
- 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?

I don’t think you can, unless perhaps you’re really creative with wording. And even then you probably shoudn’t.

You can’t tag it suggestive. You can’t make suggestive comments either. You can’t do anything.
What to do, upload same image, but with macro with “explain the joke”-style suggestive text before commenting? -_-

On this topic though: there really should exist some sort of tag for images like >>544164 this, when a forward and backward motion is edited to loop because then LOLOLOLOL it looks just like secks.
Most of the time those images aren’t even tagged “edit” or anything, but at the same time you can’t call them true “out of context” jokes since quite a lot of effort was put into making it look like that context. Editing, is in this sense, is essentially cheating.

It’s already been covered; anything edited or looped in a specific way can be tagged suggestive.
Vree
But do we have a tag for it?
I’d actually remove the “out of context” and add something like “loopsecks”.

Go ahead and add something like “looped for effect” or whatnot makes sense to you, I guess.

@Vree
keep the
but yeah any sort of editing beyond that (reversing or mixing reverse/nonreverse etc) should be an
but that’s all just my 2 cents.
EDIT: assuming I’m reading TSP’s post correctly, I’m fine with an extra “looped for effect” on the ones straight from the show or something.
keep the
out of context imo though, especially if they are only looped (or cropped) in a clever way, but otherwise unedited. how am I supposed to find the actually good out of context’s otherwise? but yeah any sort of editing beyond that (reversing or mixing reverse/nonreverse etc) should be an
edit,suggestive (or maybe even a higher rating, whatever you see fit) but that’s all just my 2 cents.

Ok, better plan: if the community is treating them as “out of context” I’ll leave it alone.
I’d prefer if they were at least tagged “edit” or similar, but then they’d get mixed up with art edits more so, whatever.
(I guess since they all fall under “animated” someone can tag/filter them if they care.)
thx
