Parent tags implications

That was actually one of the motivations behind me asking what the difference between the hybrid and interspecies offspring is, a couple days ago on the general tagging thread.
 
As I understood it, hybrid covers characters and creatures that are a mix of two or more species (be that through regular interspecies reproduction, magic, genetic engineering or whatever else suits the artist’s needs), whereas interspecies offspring covers situations where a character has parents of different species, regardless of whether or not they are blends of different species (for instance, a lot of Discord next gens tend to be straight-up draconequi, with their other parent simply influencing what particular animal parts make them up).
 
Probably not a distinction I would have chosen to make on my own devices, but I see the use in making it.
 
To address your actual comment, the reason I left the hybrid tag out was because while the applicable couples would by necessity have a child with different-species parents, whether they’re a hybrid or not – I reasoned – would depend on the individual artists’ design choices. That said, I suppose it might be argued that cases where the offspring isn’t a hybrid would be rare enough to justify adding the implication anyway and removing it in the minority of cases where it doesn’t apply.
 
All in all, I stick with my decision, but if the mods prefer to do otherwise or someone has a good counteragent I’m willing to capitulate.

And that’s exactly why hybrid is already an implication on every parents tag where pretty much any non pony is a parent.
 
It does happen on occasion where two parents of different species produce an offspring that is only of one of those species, but that’s surprisingly rare, which is why interspecies offspring and hybrid are always implied together. It’s considered more troublesome to add it separately than it is to remove it in the rare instance where the resulting child is not a hybrid creature.

Well… true enough. I suppose non-hybrid interspecies offsprings aren’t really common enough to warrant avoiding the implication.
 
In that case, besides parents:starek, parents:chrystirek, parents:tirekcord, parents:sombrek and parents:celestirek, I noticed that parents:discopie and parents:discodash don’t imply “hybrid”, either.

Those are oversights, I assure you, the tags weren’t intentionally left off, it does happen sometimes, especially when there’s already many other tags to be considered. Come to think of it parnets:thoraxspike is missing both hybrid and magical gay spawn implications.
 
I will concede that even the original outline for tagging offspring mentions hybrid can be a situational implication, but I would also point out that the moderator who laid those out is also the one who made most of the implications on the parents tags

Huh, quick correction, I messed up my link on parents:thoraxspike, and it looks like I’m mistaken about it missing it’s implication for magical gay spawn. Either I completely miss remembered that, or it’s been fixed since I last thought of it. Either way, my apologies for that error.
