TL;DR: Unmerge “nudity” and “nude”/“naked”, please. It was a bad idea.
And now for the long version.
I’m genuinely starting to get upset about the nudity situation on the site. (also,
I’m this guy)
At first I was confused why rating tags are changing, but after much discussion I came to terms with it and was like “okay, definitions of ratings are changing, so rating tags are now useless to me, but I can still make filters the way I want, so I’m just gonna do that”. But now “nude” and “naked” tags have merged with “nudity”, so now I can’t make the filters the way I want, because “nudity” historically wasn’t meaning “nude” or “fully naked”, people were putting all sorts of things into the nudity tag, partial nudity, male nipples, undressing, ect. But now it’s all merged with “nude” and “naked” which historically was used for full nudity on humans (and anthros). So now I would have to either filter the nudity tag entirely and miss out of a bunch of content that isn’t even remotely nude enough to filter, or I would have to just have full nudity showing up everywhere. I can’t separate “any kind of nudity” from “full nudity on humans” in filter. It’s now impossible. And just… why? Why?! What is the win here? What is the gain? Why this change has to be made? If I didn’t know better, I would think that you’re trying to fuck over me specifically. If I didn’t know any better, which I do, so I don’t think that, but it still feels that way. Mostly I genuinely struggle to think of any good reason for this merge. It was fine without the merging and even was helpful to have these things separately. So why?
And also, if you’re about to say: “people will adjust and will start using nudity as “fully nude”,” - no. Just: no. You know why? Because all cataloge prior to this isn’t tagged that way. Even if all people this instance get it and start doing that, who will retag all previous backlog? You? Me? Nobody is the answer. And that’s my problem will all the changes to the tags, including rating tags, is that, sure, you’re changing the way tags are working with a hope that it will be better in the future, but you have a huge backlog that now have tags that don’t make any fucking sense and filtering becomes a god damn mess.
So now we have a backlog where people used to put nudity wherever they felt like it, just when it’s something remotely bare or naked, and now it’s all in one mess with full nudity. Great. Fuckinnn’
GREAT!
Some great full body nudity over here:
>>152619 >>190753 >>180739 >>1103276 >>1082101 >>1595034 >>1880353 >>1882687. All these are results of searching “nude”. Didn’t used to be like that. Why it’s like that. Please unmerge.
