Topic: I dont really have a good title but just a discussion about TWYS and girly characters

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

This topic has been locked.

One thing I've noticed is that a lot of things which clearly fit the definition of Ambiguous_gender + girly when using the TWYS rules get tagged as Flatchested + female. Its just a thing you see a lot whenever comments argue over a girly male character being tagged as female for the fact there's no dick in the image. Just feel like Ambiguous_Gender needs to have more use for girly characters rather than just saying a character is female when the only real feminine parts are long eyelashes or the fact they are wearing dresses.

Ambiguous isn't used for "well this character can be interpreted as a feminine boy or a girl", it's used for "heavily conflicting or no feminine and/or masculine traits"

If a character is incredibly feminine with long eyelashes and wearing a skirt or dress, and they have no conflicting masculine attributes, they're going to be tagged female

Also this is like the 5th thread created about TWYS in regards to Reggie... lord please don't stir this pot again

"Girly" means "Feminine." That's all there is to it. If what would other wise be an ambiguous character is "Girly," they're no longer ambiguous because they're feminine, thus female.

Nah I more in in general want to discuss the Girly tag, since looking at its wiki page its says it can be used with male or ambiguous_gender which not sure how it would work, since wouldn't that go against what Ambiguous is currently used for when tagging gender?
