Reason: This BUR dose two things

1. Its a clean up of misspellings, making sure they don't get used again.
2. to quote the wiki "Despite the name, it should be noted that this tag applies to both intersex and male characters as well as females. As well, they should only rarely receive the label monster as that's specifically reserved for entities meant to look creepy or otherwise unsettling."

I personally think "monster boy" and "intersex monster" should be their own tag, if you agree with me, make a comment here or better yet, make a post in the forum category "Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions" that said, I will follow what the wiki says and will keep things inline with its description.

EDIT: The bulk update request #7047 (forum #395247) has been rejected by @Waller.

Maybe I just don't get it, but do we really need this tag at all? It seems to just be referring to humanoid characters in an anime art style?

I'm just the clean up crew, the validity of this tag is not my concern.

See also post #43072 for part 2. You can put both BURs in the same thread by adding the topic ID (43071 in this case) to the BUR form, to avoid splitting the request and discussion.

As I said in the other thread:

monster_girl_(genre) should be invalidated, IMO. It's basically "feminine monster", for some vague definition of "monster" (which itself is a messy tag).

As the name states, they feature slightly animal- or monster-like traits such as horns and wings yet also usually retain a humanoid face and midsection.

Sounds like a random selection of feminine humanoids. "animal- or monster-like traits" is the bread and butter of this site, further making the tag seem unnecessary. At best it's a lore tag indicating a character from a series that's of the "monster girl genre".

I cancelled this BUR and start a topic: https://e621.net/forum_topics/43095
