closed mouth implications

Posted under Tags

BUR #59263 is pending approval.

create implication :i -> closed_mouth
create implication :t -> closed_mouth

Much like how ^ ^ implies closed eyes, I don't think it's possible to have either of these without the mouth being closed. One possible counterexample I just thought of though is an emoticon or something (of course I realize it after I submit the BUR, not before).

There's 283 results for :t (parted_lips or open_mouth) solo and 59 under :i (parted_lips or open_mouth) solo but they're probably mistags, copied tags from variant sets that forgot to remove it or eating instead.

There are possible counterexamples here, like post #10792506, post #9133526, and post #6422262. Some of these are animated, so they shouldn't count against the implication.

Why should it be removed from eating posts?

Regardless, there are also plenty of counterexamples that don't involve eating:
post #8078249
post #8696247
post #8887985
post #8743378

How would we be able to search for these expressions without a :t open_mouth search? And why shouldn't both be applicable to a single character when :3 open_mouth is?

In any case, it should be clear by now that the original premise is completely false.

It wasn't a fully formed thought - I meant that things like post #11229303 were appearing in it, not that they should be removed from all eating posts (emoticon + eating with a closed mouth for example would be a right fit). Some emoticon tags look to suggest a very specific usage or expression and I figured that the intent was for them. If it's fine for this one to be about the "base" mouth shape though then that's fine. There's a few face tags that enforce a specific appearance for either the eyes or mouth and others that are flexible for both open and closed mouths.
