Tag for strange/humorous censorship

Is there a tag for weird or funny censorship methods? Like post #512360, post #57158, and post #503713?

buzzkill_censor

Well, that doesn't seem to be in use. Someone suggested comedic_censor[/ship] in one of the linked comments, which isn't bad. Although I guess it makes a value judgment as to what is "funny" or not. I'm open to other ideas.

Is that censorship really put in by the artist in post #57158? It looks more like someone else just plopped it on, and it doesn't help the source is unavailable now.

Hard to tell, it looks like the artist's website is dead. But it does have a source link back to what used to be their website.

Yeah, it's an edit. I threw it at TinEye and with a bit of searching I found this.

Huh, that is an incredibly interesting site. I've been wanting something like that for some time, thanks.

Definitely is an edit then, although still completely possible it's by the original artist what with the link back to the site and all. A good version of the original should replace it though.

But at any rate, we still do need a name for this type of censorship, if we want to distinguish it from your basic mosaic, convenient_bodypart or black lines.

I've looked for a tag like that before. joke_censor or unconventional_censorship?
I assume maedax, laughing_man and other miscellaneous face censors would go under such a tag?

Tineye? It's been around for a while, and it is useful, but not particularly complete, as can be expected. Too bad we don't have a visual search engine that indexes pixiv yet.

When applicable, yes, but not with an implication. For example, not all laughing_man images are censoring something.

I'm surprised Google doesn't offer something like it. Or maybe they do and I'm just not aware.

There's Google Similar Images (http://similar-images.googlelabs.com ). I haven't used it, though, so I don't know if it's any good.

unconventional_censorship sounds good, if a little verbose.

I haven't used it much. The one downside I can see to it as opposed to TinEye or Piespy's search is that you can't query with an image. You have to start with something from Google Image search that has already been indexed that you found via a text search.

What about interesting_censor(ing/ship) or unusual_censor(ing/ship)?

I like joke_censor, myself.

novelty_censor

Though if there's a lot of pictures using the same thing, the meme should get its own tag. (keep_out, laughing_man, etc.)

Speaking of the keep_out tag, it should be a subset of (implicate) caution_tape.

There are one or two exceptions that make it iffy, like post #42614, but I guess that's not enough to sink the implication... done.

I have to agree with parasol's novelty_censor. It really gets the point across.

+1 novelty_censor! Great way of expressing the idea. Do we need to make subcategories like laughing_man_censor etc. or would that be too much? I imagine there aren't that many of these images, and you'd probably want to find them all in one tag.
