Tag Alias: a_master_is_out -> peeking

Aliasing a_master_is_out -> peeking.

As far as I can tell, none of the images with this tag are actually referencing the meme. It's just people peeking around corners.

Some of the other meme tags have similar problems, although not as badly. People seem to add tags for things that they think are amusing to compare to the meme, rather than things that actually contain the meme.

peeking is no way specific to the a_master_is_out pose. peeking_around_corner at the very least.

I thought about bringing this up before but forgot to do so. I want an alias to something more intuitive on this too. I would go for a simple around_corner or behind_corner, though.

I support this. I like around_corner the most for the tag.

There are various images in a_master_is_out which are actually behind tree/around tree, behind pole/around pole, curtains, door or similar (not a corner).

Let's revive this discussion - I like the idea of changing this to a normal, non-meme tag but as s1eth points out, corner sounds a bit weird for trees and such.

Perhaps we should alias it to something else and implicate that to peeking?

How about peeking_out?

Sounds good.

Hm.... I was kind of wondering on this tag; guess I don't know the meme. I think that's kind of the point of changing it though. As far as the suggestions go I also like peeking_out or peering_out; also wouldn't mind peeking_around or peering_around either. But it's odd that it's still around.

My problem with "peek", "peer" and the like is that they imply the person is actually looking out from where they are hiding, which may not always be the case. What if they have their eyes completely closed?

Why would you poke your head out from what you're hiding_behind unless you're peeking_out?

I was just wondering if it might be something that denoted a particular expression a bit too much for a general tag, when really there's a range of expressions in the tag. I guess even if the eyes are closed, the intent is still to look, though, so my objection does seem rather silly...

Aliased this to peeking_out for now.

Looks like some people started to use around_corner after a_master_is_out was aliased to peeking_out.

Might be worth an around_corner -> peeking_out alias.
