BUR #29811 has been rejected.

deprecate facing_back

Per the wiki, facing_back is just looking_back but with eyes closed, but that could just be looking_back closed_eyes or something.

It also seems to be a large source for mistagging, as many posts tagged as facing_back don't even have closed eyes, or could be tagged from_behind rather than looking_back.

The name "facing back" doesn't really seem to imply that the eyes need to be closed.

You'd have to argue the same for the other facing_* tags, having only facing back deprecated would be weird.

For the other facing tags I'm not really sure why it requires closed eyes.

I suppose the facing tags are used when someone is facing a certain direction without actually looking there, which in that case I can't really think of a way to rename or otherwise change the tag to prevent mistagging

Like 岩戸鈴芽 said, it follows the trend of all 'facing' tags - facing away, facing another, facing up, facing down, facing to the side, which are all used...mostly correctly. So I don't see why a single one should be deprecated.
