Topic: Model sheets, image text, gender, and TWYS

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

So, gender tagging always gets a little contentious here, and I'm trying to avoid stepping on any toes with this.

I was trying to add tags to a model sheet for a character that apparently can be either female or herm:

post #615470

The sheet itself says "female/herm." The character is only drawn as a female, but there is a shot of the penis, presumably for illustrative purposes for the herm form. I ended up tagging it "female" and "penis" together, although this seems a little odd. (I was tempted to add in disembodied_penis, although that particular tag tends to carry implications that aren't really related to the model sheet, any more than the head reference would imply decapitation, I think...) Was there a better way to approach this than what I did? I was hesitant to even add in dickgirl because you never actually see the penis on the body--even though the sheet spells out what the implication is.

More generally, can TWYS draw on text cues in an image? If a picture shows a character with breasts and a penis but any the vulvae are obscured, and it's explicitly labeled "herm," does that still go under "dickgirl"? I might argue that, as long as I'm literate, I do see a herm (the text says so!), even without the anatomical cue.

To summarize TWYS with regards to text: "If there's a picture of a lemon with LIME written above it, you tag it lemon. "

Which doesn't really make much sense while we also tag text games such as CoC with hundreds of tags... If we're supposed to ignore the text, then the only applicable tags are flash_game, text and english_text. :/

Text games are probably the only exception I've seen, but there really isn't a better way to tag them unfortunately.

I still tag them with zero_pictured, though.

Oh and that one drawing program thing where the images change over time; I still never quite figured out how to tag that.

The text is ignored if we have image proof, so to speak.
Coc and tits don't have images (apart from the busts in tits) so the text is tagged.

Sounds to me like there's some privileges that haven't been checked 'round here.

There should probably be some kind of exception for character sheets (to a reasonable degree) regarding stuff like this

Thezero pictured tag is nice for tagging text, too

Maybe there could be a *_(text) suffix appended to the end of a regular tag to denote it's present in the image as text and not literally there

Similar to the *_(cosplay) suffix on the anime-focused boorus
