So, this picture seems to need some clearing up. The presence of the other three characters in the image implies that the Gatomon is supposed to be a SPECIFIC Gatomon, not just some random one. And the user stating that said specific Gatomon is canonically male has no idea what he's talking about, she's 100% canonically female. When even an OC like Ampzz the Raichu can get the "crossgender" tag when drawn as any gender other than dickgirl, I should think that same treatment ought to DEFINITELY be applied to canon characters. And we have examples where they totally do, too, such as pictures of Princess Peach Toadstool drawn male, getting the crossgender tag.

So, my question is this: Is the implication that this is a specific Gatomon strong enough, in this image, that it should be tagged crossgender, or do we leave the tag out simply because there's nothing in-image to 100% confirm that's definitely HER OWN Gatomon raping her?

Sure, but the specific Gatomon is called "she" by every character who knows her, has a female voice, and even refers to herself as female. So if Renamon's line, there, was even canon at all (which I wouldn't know, but meh), it's clear she just meant physically.

Yes, it's a canon line. Renamon was also voice by a man in at least one localization, so that's not really the best thing to go by.

I'll get back to you on this one.

Fair enough.

Because english is stupid language, you kinda have to attach gender into your words when addressing someone, because calling digimon "it" would be making it an object and "they" would make it sound formal.

Meanwhile as finnish doesn't have gender specific pronounces, only way to know if digimon in that series is male or female is their voice, which also changes wildly depending on what localization you are listening to. Because of this e.g. that renamon gif above is the only part in the anime season where renamons gender is stated and because of that it's neither male or female.

And this goes nicely to why the tagging system on this site is based on visuals on individual posts alone. In some cases lore changes depending on region you live in, sometimes it's up to interpitation, in many cases someone is looking a post because they simply like character without knowing anything about lore and then get confused with tags like crossgender showing up in posts like that where they clearly shouldn't belong.

Digimon and pokemon are also categorized as species and generally species can have either gender. It's then completely seperate discussion matter that is that particular gatomon so profilic enough that it should have character tag and is something like character combination in the image enough to justify this? Because what if those digimons aren't "the" digimons but digimons disguised as those specific digimons just to be able to rape the humans?
