Topic: Not_Furry not used enough, Feral is over-broad and Anthro is vague

I think the terms are what are being confusing. e621 uses them one way, but you're trying to explain using them to mean something else.

Are you basically trying to say that you want tags that would differentiate between the foxes in these two pictures:

post #778388 and post #474155

...with the first being your "natural depiction" and the second being the "anthropomorphic animal"? Or would the latter designation mean something further along the scale like:

post #124059

This is why I didn't have any specific idea at first. Just that the implication of this is certain posts that are Feral can't also be Not_Furry by the definition of its wiki. That's a contradiction.

There is already tags for describing anatomy. Feral and Anthro describe broad approaches to a Furry character they are almost sub-genres. No wonder this is so confusing.

Incidentally the exact point where it is to ambiguous to know if it is Feral (Furry) character or non-anthropomphic animal is when it should NOT be tagged Feral, leave it to the anatomy tags that aren't ambiguous. And that shouldn't be surprising as it is the same ethic applied across the site with Tag What You See.
