Commentary, when present, is not visible in the image either. It's still considered part of the post, and we do tag based on the commentary. (commentary for translated or native-English commentary, or commentary_request for untranslated commentary, are the obvious ones, but we often tag elements that are ambiguous in the source image when the ambiguity is resolved in commentary.) Tags on the original image, likewise, are metadata that is considered part of the post even if it isn't contained within the bounds of .jpg or .gif.
Why do people insist on tagging this with what this clearly is not? "Because artist tagged it so"? Then, if the artist drew a tomato and tagged it 'onion', would you insist on having it tagged as onion?

If the person that drew the damn image says something is in their picture you damn well tag it. Christ this isn't a we decide what the artist drew and tag what we want game. It's their picture not ours if they say/tag something is there then tag it as such end of story.

If we were uploading Rene Magritte then we shouldn't tag pipe?
The conflict here is from the guideline in howto:tag: "Tag what you see. In other words, only tag the visual and factual elements in the image." This is often represented as "tag what you see, not what you know."
But now that we have commentary, people have started tagging things in it. Also, where Pixiv tags used to just be used to clarify something directly existing in the image, they're now used to tag intent as well. This is supported by the new system that automatically pulls and suggests Pixiv tags on upload.
There is no swimsuit in this image. If you went up to someone with no access to Japanese culture and memes and asked them what this was, they'd say it's a panda with a zipper. Going by the "written rule," you'd tag panda and zipper. But now we know the artist's intent, so people want to tag it as the open zipper swimsuit meme.
