The subjective opinionated nature is exactly why theyâre useful âŚ
has it been a problem in the past âŚ
Even getting people to agree to a definition of, and consistently use, a fairly objective tag like
infidelity
can be unbelievably hard. Moderating that tag is possible though, so I can say with tags like infidelity
that there have been rule breaking problems. Because it is a tag that can actually be defined and around which it is possible to build rules for its use.By comparison, look at how often
sexy
is used in companionship with grotesque
. Are any of those sexy
tags on grotesque
objectively rule breaking or even wrong? And is there any way to judge that? In some cases, I am certain that the person who tagged it as sexy
does find it sexy, just by looking at their upvotes and watch lists.The problem is that with purely subjective tags like
sexy
there is no way to say if the use was rule breaking or not, because itâs entirely âin the eye of the beholderâ.The subjective opinionated nature is exactly why theyâre useful
The tag
sexy
on an image is not the result of any kind of community assessment of the image - 62% of the use of tag sexy
was by the original uploader tagging their own works as sexy
, even if it was an unironic shitpost. How is it useful knowing that the uploader of this thought it was sexy
?To be honest, I donât know that the tag is wrong on that image - because I absolutely believe that the uploader thought it was sexy. But because the tag is purely subjective - it is not a âfact of the imageâ.
Iâm not giving definitions to sexy tags.
The closest I think we could ever get is âat least one person who has ever visited this site gets off to thisâ. And thatâs what the like button is for.
