Body horror is HTP-adjacent--closely related in spirit even if it's distinct from the core premise--and it's usually a welcome and well-loved guest at the party. Not completely incapable of wearing out its welcome, if it shows up at a time of rampant off-topic prompting and dismal signal-to-noise ratio with seventeen prompts in a row that get increasingly explicit about not wanting anything to do with HTP's main schtick. But it's a classic trash variation. Tossing some nonsexual body horror into the prompt mix here and there is fine, within reason.
The issue is that "within reason" gets a whole lot narrower whenever the trashmeme's being deluged with "HTP-adjacent" prompts that have lost all contact with what they're supposedly adjacent to. If you inadvertently pile onto the mess and your prompt ends up in a giant wall of off-topic, it's liable to get frozen, so use your best judgement on when's a bad time.
In summary: OK to prompt now and again, not OK to spam or flood the meme with it, prompting it in the midst of off-topic spam from other anons is not the best plan.
Fills, BTW, are never off-topic, short of dropping a fluffy coffee shop AU down in the middle of the trashmeme. It's about the signal-to-noise ratio, and fanworks are all signal.
