Topic: Tag Implication: cleavage -> breasts

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Related discussion: forum #130214

Might be a good time to sort this one out. As of now it seems to be a bit of a conflict between TWYS and practicality. I won't say much about it but I doubt that changing usage of the breasts tag at this point is really an option.

As for the implication, I'd say a tentative +1 based on how the tags are used right now.

Sounds like a massive clean up in the works.

I like the idea of using separate tags for clothed breasts and bare breasts, but, as said here , we could just search clothed and breasts.

The counterexamples here and here are arguing for a change in usage, but, by definition, breasts will exist if they're noticeable, regardless of exposure level. If someone is looking for bare breasts in particular, they can browse using a combination of topless or nipples and female. Though I guess that would exclude featureless_breasts.

I don't know. If I can be a bit blunt here, I really think those are arguments on behalf of those too lazy to get particular with their tag searches. Perhaps flat_chested should be cleaned up instead?

I'd say implicate it anyways, and edit inconsistencies as they get noticed while browsing more specific tags, like cleavage and a combination of breasts and clothes. 200k posts with breasts alone is too much to go through.

As it stands, cleavage is implied to clothed, which in turn is implied to clothing.

Methinks implying cleavage -> breasts may create unwanted contradictions like nude + clothed + solo because of this.

Just cleaned up a few that I noticed, but have run out of time before work @.@

Ofc, these contradictions probably came up due to the improper tagging of cleavage + nude, yet there is the possibility having cleavage + nude, without having fully exposed breasts:

Personally, I would have tagged this image as cleavage + nude, but left breasts off the list, as they are only partially exposed (which would also support the rating:S).

If the cleavage tag is utilized for covered, or partially covered breasts, while the breasts tag is predominantly for fully-exposed breasts, this implication seems to only further muddy an already divisive and highly subjective topic.

That is a very good example. I know that the intention behind the cleavage -> clothed was to reinforce usage (keep people from using as a synonym for breasts, particularly bare ones), but I'd definitely be inclined to tag that as cleavage as well as breasts. The rating:s/fully-exposed breasts part gets a little more muddied when you consider things like post #473207 and post #569643, where there isn't much of a case to not tag them that way.
