Topic: Does this really deserve the "visibly trans" tag?

Posted under General

This picture and its child post are what I'm talking about. Somebody's added the mastectomy scar tag to it, but I'm not so sure. Looks like it could just as easily be the bottom edge of the character's pecs, to me...Any site staff want to offer their opinion?

You are free to discuss about the post in the posts comment section and if you feel the tags are wrong, you can either edit them yourself or in these kind of cases where it can flame a war report the post for tag abuse to ask for admins opinion and possibly to lock the tags.

Opening up a forum thread every single time there's false tag on post is kinda reduntant and spammy.

It looks like it's about to hit auto-deletion anyway.
It's a pity. The face looks good but the rest of the body looks like it's been given a quarter of the effort.

It's just a cuntboy. Artists want to appropriate e621's archival system to give themselves special tag treatment for their characters' canons.

This kinda falls apart when you see the artist correctly tagged andromorph, and visibly_trans and mastectomy_scar were added by a different user.

The image is more likely a boy with a vagina than a "visibly_trans", I also can't see any mastectomy scars or what so ever.

There's a comic about a guepard twins which one of them you think he was a cuntboy but when you look closer, you can clearly see these mastectomy scars. This character would be a better example of these tags.

Whatever it's right or wrong to use these kind of tags, the image seems to be tagged wrongly, as far as I see.

If it was just the bottom of the character's pecs, I'd think it would be a single line. The fact that it is two lines connected at the ends, to me, seems like masectomy scars. I can't really think of any example of it being drawn like that and just indicating the bottom of a character's pecs.

I would have tagged it as masectomy_scars, personally.

In my opinion those look like mastectomy scars to me. Even though you're not really supposed to use outside information, every other time this character is drawn they have mastectomy scars

Don't use external information. It's pretty much a pectoral line in this image, so that's what it counts as.

If it was just a line, I'd probably agree with you, but it's not, so I don't.

To be clear, I disagree with your interpretation of this particular image, Not with your statement about not using external information. Personally, I haven't bothered to look at any other pictures of the character since they aren't relevant.

But just looking at this single image, the masectomy-scar interpretation of the art seems more reasonable to me than a pectoral-line interpretation.
