To me semi-anthro does have a place for bodies that have more-or-less feral anatomy (differences are minor or subtle) but are shown with human posture and poses. To me, these are the most clear-cut cases:

Yeah, exactly!
I think the biggest current issue with the tag though, is its name
If we can rename it to something more appropriate/accurate, then I'm fairly certain the usage would improve as well

As mentioned in the above post (links pending),
Most issues/conflicts regarding body types stem from a problem with the anthro tag itself and its loose definition
If/until that's ever addressed, and a solid definition for anthro is made, then anything else related to it (humanoids, taur, etc), will also be shaky
@Genjar; @All:
What I'm thinking to do about that is;
- -> Use anthro as the widest umbrella tag, which most content falls under:
1. anthro - anything majorly-anthropomorphic
- 'furry' body types [possibly including anthrofied non-mammals]
- humanoids
- animal humanoids
- toony ferals
- toony humanoid flora_fauna
- Living Aircraft
- some tentacle monsters
- animate inanimate
- 'furry'/humanoid taur
2. semi-anthro
Anything that falls in-between anthro and non-anthro
- semi-anthro ferals [ususally just expressions]
- some flora_fauna
- some tentacle monsters
- Human Taur
3. non_anthro - Very little to no anthropomorphism
Not sure if humans should be under anthro, for a variety of reasons [tba]
