Implicating foxtaur → taur
Link to implication

Reason:

Foxtaurs are *taurs, and the tag seems common enough to implicate.

Approved

Didn't the hybrid tag get made so we don't start naming every mix of animals?

Foxtaurs are common within the fandom. Therefore it should be a valid species.

And anyway, what hybrid would it even be?
fox + centaur? That can't be used, since then it'd be implicated to human from centaur.

foxtaur is not a hybrid??? its basically just a fox anthro four legs and two arms, there is nothing hybrid about it.

Can't be fox + centaur since that's human and equine. A foxtaur looks like just a fox. Wouldn't be a hybrid IMO

foxtaur should be aliased to taur and have fox added to images of them. They are taur (four legs two arms long lower body) versions of fox anthros.

I really find that separating it into two unnecessary tags doesn't help us out at all

Ya weird stuff like separating fox/wolf hybrids into fox, wolf, and hybrid tags for species or something :o

It's not. taur is the tag for all 'taurs, centaur or otherwise. It's about the body shape. foxtaurs are just fox anthros with the taur body shape. If they had something special to them I could understand a separate tag for them, but they aren't. The tags aren't 'unnecessary' at all, they're perfectly fit descriptors.

They're specifically called foxtaurs in some settings, such as Chakat Universe. So it can't be completely invalidated.

then foxtaur_(Chakat_Universe) and apply it to any image referencing that continuity. Elsewise...

But who would think to type that when they first come here and want to just find a foxtaur with no complications?

by typing foxtaur and geting the alias to foxtaur_(chakat_universe). :P

But a person typing "foxtaur" probably isn't looking for foxtaurs specific to the Chakat Universe, they're probably looking for all kinds of foxtaurs.

and then they'll see that foxtaurs from chakat are labelled fox and taur. Unless they are just THAT dumb.... but if they are, they can suffer as far as I'm concerned.

It's asking a lot for people who search foxtaur to notice that even though they see foxtaurs in the search result, they're not seeing all the foxtaurs on the site, and they need to change their search terms to "fox taur" to catch the rest of them.

It might be doable for you or me, but how would a casual user of the site even figure that out?

What's next? Removing centaur in favor of human equine taur?

Difference being centaur is not a made up furry word

What's the difference between made up by furries and just plain made up?

One's in an average dictionary :o

Centaur is the basis from which we get all *taurs, which is odd considering that there is more potential for it to mean minotaur (through Taurus) instead of centaur (Kentauros, a horse-riding tribe from Thessaly who were romanticized into half-man, half-horse creatures), but c'est la vie.

Foxtaur takes the *taur from centaur and applies it to fox as if "cen" meant "horse" so foxtaur means "fox taur". Which is really weird and just boggles my mind at how dumb that logic works, but whatever.
