Topic: Small Belly BUR 2.0

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #1916 is pending approval.

create implication belly_overhang (6358) -> belly (252021)
create implication hanging_belly (335) -> belly (252021)
create implication potbelly (2391) -> belly (252021)
create implication belly_rolls (1726) -> belly (252021)

Reason: All of these tags imply a character having a visible/prominent belly
The final two are redundant, the navel tag implies a visible (and usually exposed) navel, "exposed belly" more or less means the character has a belly, and may have a midriff baring outfit - however, because a number of the images tagged "exposed_belly" are characters with ripped clothes, open shirts, or are bottomless, I've already tagged the images that should have midriff with midriff

FWIW, you can edit your own BURs, you don't need to reject the old and create a new one to make changes.

+1. I was going to say, "What if the belly is covered in clothing like in post #2897580?"
But the belly wiki says it is for both clothed and nude characters. The tag still applies even if the belly is covered in clothing.

Found out too late, edited another BUR right after deleting this one's previous version.

And of course, we can't have huge_belly, ever.

No idea why that's the only huge->hyper alias, it seems like that's been a point of contention for years and there's a still open BUR for removing the alias from 7 months ago.

I'm conflicted with this one, the inherent thought that *_belly always mean that it showcases a rounded and prominent belly is flawed.
Characters can have flat and non-rounded bellies, which makes aliasing exposed_belly to belly a questionable choice since you mentioned fixing a number of posts to midriff.
As a matter of fact, I can still see a few posts featuring midriffs in the exposed_belly search results, meaning that people are still using the tag incorrectly.

I think midriff would be the best thing to alias exposed_belly to. Some posts may need to be cleaned out first, but they’re mostly all midriffs.

Also relevant.

I'm just going by the wiki, if a character's abdomen is exposed and it isn't prominent, it's tagged midriff, and if they're just naked and they have a flat abdomen, there's no reason to tag "belly".
The only fixing I did was add midriff, so I've gone back and removed "exposed_belly" from any image that wouldn't "fit" belly.

I know, and that is a correct thing to do; but, when I hear the term exposed_belly, I tend to believe it is used if a character's abdomen is exposed and regardless of whether or not it is prominent.
A character can have a slim belly and get tagged exposed_belly and a character can have a large belly and still get tagged exposed_belly, which makes aliasing it to belly a risky thing.

Some part of me really wants to have a slim_belly or flat_belly tag since the base belly tag does not convey the message (in the naming) that it should be large and prominent.
Similarly to how breasts is treated, where it would be tagged for prominent ones on female/intersex characters, but it also includes an option for flat_chested characters.
Males, on the other hand, get pecs as an equivalent.
