The reason they're on this site is because the terms are subjective--there are plenty of subjective descriptor tags, such as about_to_be_raped which will depend on point-of-view and interpretation of the situation depicted.
There are pictures that will warrant the tag badass because the character or situation being shown does indeed match the mass-viewer depiction of the state of being a "badass". Badassery would apply exclusively to the action or actions portrayed, such as a .webm or .gif of an action anime battle scene or (as it has become a trend recently) adult scenes that impress for more than just the people in them "bumping uglies".

The depiction itself is subject to the tag, and as such the tag has been used and likely will continue to be used as it's usage on the site is something semi-concrete.

However, about_to_be_raped already has a very easy to follow definition/description which makes it easier to determine if an image deserves this tag.

Looking at some of the images tagged badass, a lot of them are just regular animated gifs of a random action scene or pose.

Unless theres is a clear guideline on the usage of badass, like what the "mass-viewers' depiction" is, there is really no way for people to determine what accounts as badass. Either put a guideline on the tag's page or expect people to abuse the hell out this tag.

I mean, really?
