Due to the innate entanglement of the subject matter I want to specify my terminology usage
- Sex = Assumed biological sex
- Consider this to include realistically-depicted characters "nullified" by surgical means
- But not necessarily all fantastically-transformed characters
- Gender = Presented/identified gender
I've had zero engagement on this elsewhere so I thought I'd take a shot at its own thread.
The primary motivation was finding my third example of a distinct fantasy-null character engaged in direct sexual activity with another character.

featureless_crotch vs null vs nullo: Intentional? Confusing?
(all of the following is based on wiki text at the time of posting, and under the assumption that one or more wikis may be incorrect.)
- featureless_crotch purports to be the sole tag for characters stylistically or naturally missing genitalia
- null purports to be exclusively for characters naturally missing genitalia
- References featureless_crotch, but isn't referenced itself by other pages
- Seems to largely consist of rubber skinsuit posts which should instead be null_bulge
- nullo purports to be solely for traditionally-sexed characters who have had their genitalia realistically removed
- Also picking up posts which should instead be featureless_crotch or null_bulge
- References nullification, which itself places emphasis on on-body evidence that there was genitalia realistically removed
- honourable re-mention: null_bulge
for when[often indicates] a character still possesses their genitalia, but it's sealed off (while still visible underneath). (Usually related to skinsuit or goo_transformation)
My questions here:
- Whether or not there should be a tag distinction between all three of stylistically SFW-featureless characters, featureless characters within sexually-graphic context, and characters showing evidence of surgical genital removal?
- Should fantastical-null be a category:lore tag appended case-by-case to sexualised featureless_crotch interactions, and/or when the artist statement backs it (as with current sex and gender lore tagging)?
- Is bodytype alone enough to tag a character's sex for the purpose of orientation tagging when the character's sexless status is clearly visible, or is additional tagging required?
- male/featureless + male/male format? (assuming defined male + male-bodied fantasy-null character interaction)
- male/male + featureless_penetrated?
- male/male + sexually_featureless? featureless_sexual?
Practical Examples (NSFW)
snofu's character, hero_(snofu): Male-presenting. Appears to be based on fetish skinsuits, with implications that it's his skin.

vivi_(inline). semi-anthro female-presenting. (also featuring comment-argument around anatomical placement suggesting vaginal )

Edit: A New Challenger Approaches (still NSFW)
This character purports to be born null but does not qualify featureless_crotch or anus_only due to the presence of a urethra.

Braeburned is a high-profile (12 posts on default page 1 of order:score -animated) artist who recently designed a null OC, Bondi_(braeburned) who is currently the three top-voted posts for null, (with a post on page 2 of a non-animated search-by-score.)

Apologies if any of this is broken. Posting on little sleep again and this whole situation is pretty wonky.
