Misuse of the "Nightmare Fuel" tag
So this was actually pointed out by another user on a comment, but when I went through there were a few pictures under the tag that didn't fit under it. These photos did have horrific elements to them, but you had to stop and think on it before it became clear.

To that end I was wondering if we could add in a "Fridge Horror" tag. If you don't know what fridge horror is I have a quote from TVTropes that explains it pretty well.

TVTropes said:
Fridge Horror comes in two flavors:

Frozen-By-Time: As a young one, you are too young to comprehend the Nightmare Fuel right before your eyes, but as an older person, you immediately wonder how you got through it unscarred.

Quickthaw: The Nightmare Fuel isn't there until you take a good, long, deep thought and think about it.


Mind you this is just a thought, so it's up to the admins if they wanna make it a real tag.

If you stop and think about it, pretty much everything on this site could fall under "fridge horror". Maybe it's just me, but mind control is something that's just inherently horrifying.

Since the nightmare fuel tag is already pretty vague, I'm gonna say no.

Also, please use the Official Tags Thread, as the nightmare fuel tag is being discussed there in addition to all tagging matters.
