Just found this. disembodied_limb, ~200 pics count.
Why didn't anyone mention this in the and out_of_frame discussion several months ago..
So, what are we going to do now? Tag all the out of frame hands, legs and penises with disembodied_limb?
Btw, does penis count as a limb?
That's really not the same thing as the definition of out_of_frame that was previously suggested (see topic #9341 for discussion and forum #87831 for the closest we got to an agreed upon definition).
For example, post #1564507 would count as out_of_frame, because the man is partially out of frame and is not the focus of the image. However, it does not count as disembodied_limb, because none of his limbs are even visible at all.
Similarly post #1566237 would count as out_of_frame for the male since only the bottom third of his body is visible. But it would not count as disembodied_limb, because his legs are clearly attached to his trunk.
And no, penises do not count as "limbs", so this disembodied_limb tag wouldn't work if only a penis is visible. Wikipedia tells me that limbs are either jointed (like an arm or leg) or prehensile (like a tentacle).
Why do we need a "substitute" at all? Was something wrong with calling the tag "out_of_frame"? I thought that was a good idea.

Nah, I mean that we have to do something about the tag. If we don't need it then we should probably delete it. But if we do, I'll tag appropriate images from now on.
This disembodied_limb tag doesn't seemed to be used entirely consistently at the moment. I think it should be used only for the type of thing you can see in post #1464542: a limb is clearly not attached to anything, and it's just floating in mid-air. This is how the wiki for disembodied_limb says it should be used.
Some people are also using it for things like post #1492390, where the source of the limb is just off-screen, but the limb itself is not disembodied. I vote to clean up the tag and remove these out of frame type posts from it. If we were to create the out_of_frame tag, we would use that instead for these types of images.
I don't see any need to delete this disembodied_limb tag entirely though. It's consistent with other tags like magic_penis. It's an identifiable visual component of images that can be tagged.

Why? We also have the magic_hand, and I don't think there are any more flying body parts aside from hands and penises.
...Oh wait. Now what is that thing.
Ah, I see. We don't have a magic_hands tag, so now the disembodied_limb appeared. Okay, then it's indeed better to leave it be.

Try reading the wiki definition of magic_hand:
Robotic-arm toys.
For more high-performance extending (usually mechanical) hands, use nobiiru arm tag.
Do not use this tag for unattached / partially faded hands.
Use disembodied limb tag instead.
It's meant to be used for toys like in post #705238. The disembodied_limb tag is the one that should be used for actual disembodied hands.
There are a couple posts under magic_hand that are disembodied hands, but those are mistagged according to the wiki.
