Question:
After a friend linked the fantastic maxydont post #3417265, I noticed that male tags are being used exclusively here. The original Twitter upload simply reads: "...Charizard ignored orders!", which doesn't seem to suggest the Charizard's sex, and although male Charizards are more common than females per Bulbapedia, I understand the general procedure is to tag based off of what's shown in the image. Is a bit of muscle and a lack of "girl" eyelashes sufficient to assume male here? It doesn't appear to be a specific character with canonical gender (e.g. Ash's Charizard), and last I checked that's the primary exception to the "tag what you see" rule here. (That is, a character's canonical gender should be used if sex parts aren't shown, unless there's some other tip-off it's a genderswap/r63 situation.)
I would therefore expect this image to have tags like dominant_ambiguous, ambiguous_gender/male or ambiguous_gender/ambiguous_gender (depending on assumptions about Your gender), etc.
Maybe I'm being obsessive, but given it's a popular image, I was curious to get people's takes here before I kicked off any kind of tag-edit war on the image.
