Really, even “cute” could be considered an “opinion” tag, and there has been cases where people would get in a tag war adding/removing that tag from images.
Pretty much what @wenni said - there was very little difference between the separate tags, and often it was just a matter of opinion for however was editing the tags.

All of these four were used for the whole gamut … with no way to differentiate
But there lies the problem. Those tags didn’t differentiate anything. They were seemingly applied at random, only governed by the image’s popularity and whoever decides to throw all the “cute” aliases on at once.
If what I’ve observed is true, you can simply search “cute” and sort by score (or use score.gt:integer) to get a similar effect.
@Joey
And now I know how to cause sensible-but-nonexistent implications to be added!
@Joey
Yeah, that is/was an issue. All of these four were used for the whole gamut, and so now “cute” tag is filled with entire range, from “slight lip curve” to “dead from cuteness-induced heart attack”, with no way to differentiate (except maybe “wall of faves” and “upvotes galore”).
@ATMunn
No not really. ;) And I’m not personally bothered by it (I’ve created a few narrow tags (that quickly got nuked) my self), it was just as much a case of genuine curiosity. If it spreads, at some point someone is going to make an aliasing-request. If it doesn’t it’s going to die out. So I was partly probing if there was some specific thing that set it apart from the other tags; a facial expression or something.
It doesn’t have the second “i” in her name, I’m not sure if that’s intentional or not: diatrixes
If you’re having trouble finding tags, you can always go to the tags page and search for a few letters out of the tag’s name, and see if it finds anything.
@Joey You mind reader D:<
Oh, by the way, why can’t I find the “diatrixies” tag anymore? Am I not spelling it right, or does it not exsist? I thought I remember seeing it before.
@Barhandar
I’m not really sure, as I don’t handle tagging-relating matters as much as some of the other mods do. I think the thing was just the “as fuck” tags were being applied inconsistently, to the point where there was virtually no distinction at all between all four of those tags, and a lot of images ended up having all four tags applied at once.
@ATMunn
Yeah, usually we’d prefer people just use the “cute” tag TBH. There used to be “cute as fuck”, “adorable”, and “adorable as fuck” tags, and they were all aliased (merged) into the “cute” tag because they all mean virtually the same thing, and that just lead to a ton of duplicate tags.
@Background Pony #C4A7
I couldn’t really find anything better for this that was show style. :\ Maybe sometime later I’ll look harder to try to find one that is cuter.

@Joey
That’s what I’ve said!
Public-vote-tags, when?

Yeah, true
I knew you were gonna do that :3
But it does, maybe you should look again ;)
How come it doesn’t imply “cute” and “Trixie” though?
We need an edit button on comments

Oh okay, thanks.

We know when people are taking about us :D
Did someone say mods?

Welp. Okay. (was really not expecting a mod to actually reply xD)
Oh… Sorry! Fair enough
“As fuck” implies higher intensity, doesn’t it?
