Topic: Tag Alias: female_on_anthro -> anthro

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

This seems to be a counterpart to the male_on_feral and female_on_feral tags which have been quite successful and quite useful.

I've discussed this before: I think female_on_anthro and male_on_anthro have value, but should only be used for images where a human or humanoid is interacting with an anthro, not on images where a feral and an anthro are interacting (for those images, [gender]_on_feral would be the appropriate tag).

As such, I think that the wiki should be modified to exclude anthro_on_feral interactions (including a link to the relevant [gender]_on_feral tags, and these two tags should continue to exist.

The usage suggested in the wiki less than obvious, expecting the users to only tag it for non-furry on anthro is too much ask. Both have already been mistagged for anthro_on_anthro and so forth.

Cleaning up wrongly tagged forms is time-consuming enough without adding more tags and implications to the mix. (For example, I've had to untag hundreds of posts that have been mistagged as anthro_on_feral, male_on_feral, bestiality etc even though there's no ferals. It usually takes several passes to clean up the whole web of implications for those.)

I use it for the same purpose as male_on_feral and female_on_feral.
Is it useless to operate these tags as one reference?

gender x gender ~ male/male specific in the content that is to be shown
bodytype x bodytype ~ human_on_anthro specific in the content that is to be shown
gender x bodytype ~ male_on_anthro too ambiguous as to what actually aplies to the gender component as well as being redundant, high risk of being tagged for anthro_on_anthro posts even with wiki when that doesnt seem to be your intentions in regards to this tag(s).

Yes all tags that specify a "gender x bodytype" format should be removed. Just an opinion thru sence i dont deal specifically with any of these 3 types of groups/formats...

Certainly "gender x bodytype" tags may be ambiguous, but I think that it is improper to remove it.
For example, suppose there are people who like "straight human/feral", but they don't like "female human".
Therefore, human_on_feral and male_on_feral tags are used.

If we assume that ambiguity is a problem, there are also ways to do more.
For examples, "male human on female feral" or "dickgirl anthro on cuntboy humanoid" etc...(but these so troublesome)

I fought for creating these, and I maintain that they are extremely useful. There is otherwise no way to distinguish content involving female humans with male animals and content involving male humans and female animals - which is a major oversight, considering many people have very strong preferences in that regard. I consider it a matter of orientation - missing those tags would be akin to missing the male/male or male/female tags, leaving people unable to easily find content relevant to their orientation.

Now, I don't particularly care about human on anthro images, so whether or not they are subject to the same sorts of preference is out of my realm of expertise. I can't attest to whether or not they are worth the effort to clean out, but I can say that I think that dealing with the ambiguity and mistaggings of the [gender]_on_feral tags is worthwhile.

However, on a similar note, there is one thing that I think ought to be changed...

I'd honestly be fine with replacing the bestiality tag altogether. We have anthro_on_feral, human_on_feral, and so on, which are more clear in their usage. If we want some umbrella term, it would be useful to have a term that describes all "across-form" sexual activity - humans with anthros, anthros with ferals, whatever else. I think that would resolve a lot of the issues we tend to have in this regard.
