Just came across the furry logic tag, and I don't get it. The wiki is extremely vague (what are these "normally unusual or even impossible laws"), and the tagged posts are mostly just examples of extreme_penetration (which is hardly exclusive to furry art -- that's more "porn logic"). I think that either the description should be revised, or the tag should be retired.

It's a fun tag for fun. I think it could probably be tightened up a bit since there's a difference between kinda meta/self-aware jokes and just 'art with wacky self-indulgent logic.'
It should be for stuff like this:

I feel like there's a better name for this and/or it's too broad of a concept. this honestly is, like Beholding said, more of a cartoon anatomy thing than a "furry" thing.

I think the name is fine. It's the term I see people use when they're joking about this stuff, so it makes sense to use it to tag those jokes. But I think the tag should probably be limited to deliberate jokes/gags to avoid another 'weird stuff' tag.

It's mostly just extreme_penetration/ridiculous_fit (should those be aliased together?) and all_the_way_through. Those should just be tagged with the appropriate mentioned tags.

There are a few posts seemingly referencing the "furries lack internal organs" joke. If we want a tag for that in particular, we can call it furries_lack_internal_organs_(meme), or something.

That's not the only "meta" joke to show up under the tag (for example, post #1627033 on how adding underwear can make featureless crotch characters look lewder than if completely nude), but if we want a tag to include all "meta" furry jokes, it becomes extremely vague how to define that, and it would feel more like a set than a tag. Like, would THIS (not currently tagged furry_logic) be furry logic? It's not clear...

I think the tag is useful for pieces that are self-aware about unrealistic tropes that are particular to furry art (especially in porn).
I agree that the definition should be pretty tight, since it'd get uselessly vague real easy.

Something like:
1. The piece should point out a common trope/pattern/aspect in furry art as unrealistic. (By, for example, having characters directly comment on it, or juxtaposing it to a more "realistic" depiction.)
2. That pattern should be strongly associated with, or endemic to, furry art.

Point 2 might be contentious. For example, unrealistically huge genitals and penetrations isn't exclusive to furry porn. The way it appears in furry porn has a certain je ne sais quoi, and there'll be a lot of gray area for when that tag would apply.

I still feel like this is something more appropriate for a set.
