Hello,

Help me understand the logic behind this one. Yordles being a species of small stature, are being mistaken as Shota or Young. Take my fursona for example. I'm not aware of any 'Young' or 'Shota' that has beard yet I keep seeing others tag me as such.

Are these tags e621's buckets for anything 'small'?

if something looks like a child, it gets tagged as a child regardless of what lore says or what characters look like in other images.

To be fair I've seen examples of people drawing or writing lion cubs as having little facial hair tufts. Not fully grown beards, but stuff like chin fluff or sideburns.

Right. I'm not trying to get legitimacy from some fictional lore for some fictional character or species. I'm mostly active within the Discord community and I try to follow their ToS religiously as I programmed a pythonic 'yiff' bot that handles that sort of traffic between servers. I take a pragmatic approach when I review images so that I don't get anything remotely young in that ecosystem. If caught, it usually results in a server wipe and possible ban.

The Discord staff do not know, or care quite frankly, what the fandom is so they take images as face value. However, do you honestly think my character falls under shota/young? If so, what basis are you drawing from? Height? I'd like to know since I don't want it, and the many images related to it, be flagged as under-aged drawings in Discord.

Your avatar has a large head compared to his body size, aka, childlike.

I know in the lore Poppy is mentioned to be older than Demacia (one of the main factions); Viegar's lore tells how he learned dark magic as a child, grew up, and was imprisoned; Kled owns land and kills; Teemo is basically apart of the city guard; and kennen is said to be 'matured'. The only ones who might be 'young' are lulu (mentally) and gnar (physically?).

Having some of these listed as shota and young is kinda weird. also nunu is called a child so he is def shota, and annie is a child.

There's more to tagging age than just proportions. He seems to have a beard, definitely wouldn't tag that as young.

tho the posts where op has been removing the young and shota tags is posts where none of characters have any beard visible
