Hello everyone! As some of you might be aware, we have a raceplay tag and some related content mentioned inside. These tags need community approval and updates, and I would like the discussion on how the wiki should be built and handled to start here. I'm not the best wiki editor in the world, so I'm relying on you, the community, to help get these tags organized and built in a way our users can easily understand. Thanks to everyone who contributes to the discussion!

The bulk update request #8047 is active.

create alias striped_(kink) (0) -> raceplay (1264)
create alias bleached_(kink) (4) -> raceplay (1264)
create alias blacked_(kink) (5) -> raceplay (1264)

Reason: I think the raceplay tag is enough if we keep it around.

EDIT: The bulk update request #8047 (forum #404621) has been approved by @Rainbow_Dash.

I don't really mind keeping the three tags since people can be picky, but I would personally change and add this part to the wiki pages to avoid any malicious additions or "misinterpretations," especially when it's used with humans:

Do not add this tag to posts simply because the characters are different species/tones. The post should be implicitly obvious in its thematic nature, and should only be tagged if it's explicitly clear in the post.

Take this post for instance with the striped_(kink) tag.

Going by TWYS, It's just a zebra sucking a tit of a pony. What part of the race is being necessarily fetishized aside from it being interspecies?

Edit: Got ninjaed by a pony.

You can still make contributions to the raceplay discussion, any and all input on that is greatly appreciated.

I still think having separate tags would be nice.

Like, I enjoy posts that would've been under 'striped_(kink)' or the former 'zebradom' tag, but not necessarily a fan of 'blacked' or 'bleached', mainly because I'm here for furs not human/oids.
I recognize I could just do raceplay -human -humanoid, but that also leads to a bunch of furs with blacked/bleached symbolism, without the presence of a human/oid (for example)
As WeRideAtDawn says, I'm picky. But I do also understand the tagging issue.

That being said... zebradom was aliased to interspecies domination while striped_(kink) was aliased to raceplay.
That might be a little confusing for users, so if we're going down the non-specific species/raceplay I think we should choose one tag to alias to

i get that necroing threads is frowned upon but as far as my forum search-fu (searching *blacked* in body or title) can tell this is the most recent discussion about this so. what makes the raceplay tag "enough" in this case? and even if it's enough for you why can't we also have more specificity for those who want it? idk these aliases just seem like a fairly arbitrary line in the sand

I suspect in part it's due to the major forms of raceplay being very human-centric, if not human specific, and a desire to not necessarily encourage barely relevant human-centric/specific content. Species-specific fantasy versions (like the whole zebra thing) can usually be found by searching the relevant species.

then why not alias raceplay to speciesplay to make this more clear

Because that would be an extremely horrible tag to apply to instances where it is referring to humans or skin tone. Also even when totally 'furry'/fantasy, if the motifs and symbols used originated from raceplay communities it should be tagged.

then in instances where it is referring to human or skin tone and when furry/fantasy uses motifs and symbols originated from raceplay communities it should have separate tags to aid granular search/blacklisting.
