General Tag Discussion

@LightningBolt

Why do you assume people wouldn’t wanna see multiple pegasi, canon or otherwise, in a search for solo explicit?

Perhaps if it’s a search with solo added. I’m sure there’s someone out there who regularly searches for pegasus, explicit, but my strong gut feeling is that such searches far less common than those that either specify solo female or a specific named character.

pony is not for kirins of donks

Presumably not zebras or mules, either, then?

For reference, this cladogram of ungulate species is drawn from memory.
However, FiM’s style draws kirins with the same body type as equids. They should be tagged as such.

feral

It’s not just “eww, furries.” I believe it’s also a common source of confusion by people assuming that feral = hoers but for any species (a.k.a. more detailed & realistic anatomy than show style).
This can (hopefully) begin to be fixed by adding an official definition to the tag. The existence of that one anthro cat from the 2017 movie complicates writing a simple definition, but something like “show-style or realistic depictions of non-anthro characters” should get the point across.

You do have me convinced that this tag should be used more. However, it’s not really a body type so much as a super-tag containing all non-anthro and non-human body types.

People are just stupid and tag anything with 4 hooves as a pony sometimes

Hall of shame to anyone tagging a deer, buffalo, yak, or cow as a pony.

Speaking of e621, you may be able to answer this for me. Why the FUCK do they alias ungulate to mammal, yet treat equine and equid as separate tags? They don’t even have generic even/odd ungulate tags.

Sometimes, your search is specific enough that it’d be tedious to go through species-by-species, yet you only want to see characters inspired by hoofed creatures: bears, cats, & dogs are spam.

we’re not e621

e6’s bizarre lack of ungulate tag

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here.

feral tag

Would “both show-style and realistic” be a sufficiently clear & concise short description?

1. There’s a lot more anthro, EqG, and humanized art than you think. That 90% is probably 55% in reality.
2. For the definition of feral you’re after, some combination of realistic or hoers or horse probably fits the bill.

@rautamiekka
Stupid to ignore what? Different sites have different rules. Some tagging conventions here mirror e6, others do not.

we’re adapting theirs to ours

What is this pose called? It’s not sitting, not lying down, not leaning… I see it reasonably often.
