Hello. The following image was at one point tagged male, then was changed to female tag with 'tag what you see' as the reason given.

However, as I said in a comment, the character doesn't really have any visible sexual characteristics. No visible genitalia, no visible breasts or other secondary sexual characteristics. It's just a "cute" character, but that's how most furries are drawn, male or female-and it's a pokemon, Sylveon specifically, which looks the way it does in this picture whether it be male or female.

What better time to use the 'ambiguous_gender' tag than a pic with no primary or secondary sexual characteristics? I'd like to request that the lock be removed and the gender tag replaced.

other things than just genitals or breasts matter too. things like emphasized eyelashes and face in general matters.

and lets be honest here, pretty much everyone would think that this character is female if it wasnt for the symbol there.

There's no difference in eyelashes between males and females...

A lot of images end up getting tagged female if eyelashes are present.

emphasized eyelashes are associated very widely with character being female (and its used very commonly as symbolism for character being female in media). that association has weight in gender tagging. and the weight is even bigger in toony characters or characters otherwise missing or non visible gender associated traits.

So is wearing a dress but we don't tag a character as female just because he's wearing a dress. Also, males can have prominent eyelashes too.

Yes, but that association is not based in fact. Like I said before, there is no difference in eyelashes between males and females. The only difference is that women may wear eyelash makeup-but they often don't, and men sometimes do too.
