Topic: "Bedroom eyes" tag

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

I understand this tag in concept.
I'm just not sure how it's being applied in practice.
If you look at the images tagged with it, there's such a wide range of expressions being tagged that it seems meaningless.

For example:

post #544163 post #540241
These look like what I would think of as "bedroom eyes".
Lowered eyelids, a suggestive glance.

post #544546
She looks mischievous.

post #544310
She looks afraid.

post #543490
She just looks happy.

post #543543
She's clearly embarrassed.

post #540823
Largely expressionless, in the eyes at least.

Do people really have this much trouble knowing what expression means "that person wants to have sex".
Ir is this just a case of too much wishful thinking?

Most of those were uploaded and tagged by the same user.
I don't see anyone else tagging it contrary to the wiki, so this seems like an another case of single user mistagging something by hundreds. That happens pretty often.

(If I sound bitter about it, it's because I've spent most of the year cleaning after one such user. And am not even halfway done.)

I like the tag, but I do question its purpose when we already have perfectly capable alternatives like seductive and naughty_face.

True, seductive is more about the general pose instead of focusing on the eyes, but it usually amounts to the same kind of picture.

Wait, scratch that thought, I just remembered an instance where it applies without overlapping with the seductive tag:

post #501186

See, it's got the "fuck me / bend over" eyes but there's already some action going on, whereas something tells me seductive should be reserved for before-sex situations. There's little to literally seduce when you're already getting it on, even if it's just oral.

I dunno, but it seems like this is one way the two tags could efficiently coexist. Or you can just tag both on regular seductive poses that happen to include bedroom eyes and leave seductive out on pics like this one. As long as they're not constantly overlapping it should be fine.

Also, I agree, most of those simply seem to have been mistagged.

Fair enough, I wasn't sure if this was a case of bad tagging, or bad tag.

Personally, I don't like the tag. I rarely if ever use it, because I find it hard to know when it applies and when it doesn't. That being said, I think it is useful, just not something I'm going to tag much.

Its probably because I find it hard to draw such specific emotions D:

I feel neutral about the tag, but I've never used it. I just tag half-closed_eyes and move on. I can see how it might be useful. But when we've already got inviting, aroused, horny and seductive I'm not so sure we need yet another somewhat-vague-tag-for-someone-who-wants-to-be-fucked tag. But maybe there's nuances to all of these that make them all separately useful. I know the usage on each is mixed, so that doesn't help.

Horny needs to be aliased to invalid_tag. Nearly every explicit and some questionable images shows one or more characters horny (via erection, erect_nipples, pussy_juice, precum, etc.)

All but one uploaded by an user who posts nothing but ponies.

And same goes for aroused: it seems fully covered by other tags, such as erection, bedroom_eyes, etc. I guess I'll put it on my project list, though I doubt I'll get to it anytime soon.

Great, I added it to example #2. I noticed the tag a while ago because... over 1400 uses.
