The tag: highly inappropriate use of the author’s catholic school education
The fic: Rated E

The wrist fondling is probably from a very homoerotic hero/villain scene where one has the other pinned against a wall 🧱 ...by the wrist.

I have a suggestion: what about different types of apology tags or regret tags, basically just tags where the author is self aware (ex. "I made this while high ok")

[W.H.V.]

ABBA is appropriate for every situation

The mistletoe was definitely used to kill Baldur. Very inappropriate use.

[rubyj]

1:39 Okay, the "serial killers in love" part cleared up the "inappropriate use" tag, but I'm still baffled and confused as to how both of these tags are part of a Yuri in Ice fanfic.

Got an idea for another video: Let’s see what weird tags the MCU fandom has up their sleeves.

Suggestion: "Graphic" depictions of things that aren't really graphic. as in like "Graphic description of soup" or something like that.

[kixxenwalla]

Oh! I have a suggestion! "That's a tag", "how is that a tag?", or "I can't believe this tag exists" are all great. I love listening to you so much!

[cardrabitt]

At first I misread that as “Unethical amounts of shark” and was confused as to why that didn’t make sense

[josephlucatorto]

as someone with a catholic school education that tag just makes my imagination run wild. kyrie eleison

[localchaos]

Out all of them, the most that scares me is the inappropriate use of a Bob Ross quote. Please, don't corrupt the happy little trees, please let them stay happy and little

[elidrew]

The deep feeling of fear and despair I felt upon seeing some of these and going « wait… wait this feels familiar », then checking the fic and realizing that yep, yep I have read at least two of these.

[nohintshere]

tags on my unfinished fanfics:
"lightbulb innuendos"
"mentions of danganronpa kinnies"
"jimmy neutron quotes"
"aliens beating up a divorced dad"
"inappropriate use of strawberry shortcake references"
"wii sports bowling"
"catboy ben shapiro s[-x doll"
"possible misuse of the deltarune chapter 1 soundtrack"
"enclosed space buddies"
"mentions of raymond from animal crossing: new horizons"

[hawktalon]

I'm genuinely surprised "inappropriate use of mistletoe" isn't a more commonly used tag, what with the amount of fic writers out there that celebrate Christmas.

[Supernova]

The fact that nobody is talking abt how “self care as an unorthodox method of psychological torture” is somehow fitting considering that it’s from a LeoPika fic.

[snare_the_silly]

I once found "inappropriate use of karaoke rooms" and it was exactly what it sounds like.
Also, "inappropriate use of human skin" used in a Yuri On Ice fic has both horrified and intrigued me.

[Respectable_Username]

I understand most of these "inappropriate" uses are probably in an NSFW context, but as somebody who mostly reads Gen fic, I'm loving thinking of _other_ inappropriate ways these things could be used 😄

[malokeytheallaround]

The world of fanfiction will never cease to amaze me

[eliza]

May I make a suggestion? A video of very strange crossover ships that shouldn’t exist. Mordetwi and Shrek/Barry B Benson would be some famous examples. Just the most cursed crack ships you can find.
