How much does a hybrid need to include one of it's components in a tag?
I ask this because one artist is putting their OC under the burmecian Tag, while their character looks nothing like a rat/mouse nor is it set in the Final fantasy 9 world.
When I asked the artist this they said they based the "ears and genitals" on a burmecian. Now the ears of his OC are just pointy and not really rodent-like, and it's a bit silly to base genitals on a species from a FF game as they never model or draw those. I suggested they just use "rat" and "hybrid" but they revered my tag alterations (after a moderator gave me the go ahead).
Now it seems to me that this is just Tag abuse, no different from just sticking the "mobian" tag on anything in any style just so their OC can appear in sonic the hedgehog tag searches. Or as ridiculous as tagging a cake with "eggs, flour, sugar,.."
This is not meant to single anyone out, simply to ask clarification on hybrid OCs.
for example, would most dog OCs also constitute the wolf tag with them all being domesticated wolves.
