General Tag Discussion

Just to be sure, “duo female” works the same as “solo female,” right?
 
@LightningBolt  
Ah.

@Zharkaer  
If that’s the case, it should state it like ‘solo female’ does.

@Zharkaer  
But we have females only…

@LightningBolt  
I don’t understand why the tag exists then.

@Zharkaer  
Originally, the female tag was designed to be used only in “exceptional” cases, that is, on genderswaps and OCs and other things where it wouldn’t be readily obvious. There is some disagreement over how the tag should be used now, but I hope that answers your question.

@WingbeatPony  
It answers my question about the female tag, but I thought we were talking about duo female and females only?

@Zharkaer  
Ah. Have you considered the possibility of more than two females?

@WingbeatPony  
Yes, but then LightningBolt said this and I guess I got confused?

Come on man why aren’t we tagging things with stuff like [exactly six females]?!??!??!

@Keith Mowz  

 
Five Score and Seven-Tenths Females.

Shouldn’t the move of chaos future to the comic namespace have been done with an alias?  
I’m going to bet that broke quite a few watches.

We haz a sound at source tag. Do we need a sound at source tag?

@Solitude  
Yes, since sites that autoplay music or porn noises can catch people off guard or disturb others around them. It serves as a caution in much the same way that “explicit source” does.

@WingbeatPony  
Duly noted.

Someone went and made a tag because someone else commissions lots of the same thing. Not sure what the stance is on that.

@Solitude  
I really don’t see a problem with it, it’s descriptive and it isn’t violating rule 0.

@Solitude  
Yeah, that’s actually a nice tag. I’m a fan of it :)

@WingbeatPony  
@Ciaran  
Duly noted. I know artists get some of these, wasn’t sure about commissioners, figured I’d bring it up.

@Solitude  
Whitekitten. :V

@Keith Mowz  
I had forgotten about that. Thanks for reminding me.

Wanted to pose a question due to new tagging changes. The mind control tag was previously a catch all that included things like hypnosis. With the two having been separated, and the mind control tag having been redefined as essentially a meat puppet that cannot consent to anything being done to it, should we consider automatically implying grimdark whenever the mind control tag is used? It used to be more nebulous, but now it seems very clear that mind control is a dark act.

@Solitude  
Tchernobog is a well known and beloved appledasher who no doubt gets a kick out of the acknowledgement. He came up with the original concept of feathermarking and pretty much is involved in some way with every image that uses said concept.

@Steel  
should we consider automatically implying grimdark whenever the mind control tag is used?  
That wouldn’t work with the rule that unmodified screencaps from the show are automatically safe, given how often mind control is used onscreen.

@TexasUberAlles  
That’s still dark elements, even if they are in the show.

@TexasUberAlles  
But on the other hand: mind control is listed under grimdark. Might have to just make an exception for show screencaps.
