Topic: Male/[unclear]

Posted under General

What do we do if we have a male/X where the gender of X is unclear (i.e. oral sex)? I,ve gotten in disagreement with people for my policy of using crossgender for digimon where gender is usually male/female and are not OCs (especially ones like Gatomon, renamon and piyomon which are overwhelmingly depicted as females), so I'm dubious about post #679000, especially since Dacad usually does gay stuff, but there is otherwise no indication of Renamon's gender (not even in the tumblr tags).

We have a "Tag What You See" policy here. If you cannot tell from the image alone what gender a character is, they get the "ambiguous gender" tag. If you are relying on things like Tumblr tags, or how characters are usually portrayed in other art, you are going against the TWYS policy.

For the image you linked, it simply gets the "male" and "ambiguous gender" tags.

Those are all species, and both genders are equally common in the games. So I don't see how crossgender can apply to them. That'd be like tagging male lopunny as crossgender.

Yeah, but people by and large, draw renamon as if she were default female. but that's beyond the point.

I already had a thread for this and an admin said that it is ok to tag male/ambiguous

Yup. Just haven't made the aliases (m/?, m/a, ambiguous/male, etc. -> male/ambiguous) and proper implications yet. I'll be doing these today so feel free to use any obvious combination, I'll make sure they end up in the right place.

Yeah, crossgender doesn't really apply well to pokémon. crossgender applies mostly to character tags rather than species.
