Can everyone stop removing gay tags from solo males? If someone's looking for gay work, they want dicks. If a chick wants to look up solo guys, they'll search "male solo" or the like. If it's gay or not, why the hell does it matter what the tag is? If it's got both a gay AND straight tag, it's not like they'll negate each other.

While this DOES bother me greatly, I just usually delete the tag myself.

Because it's incorrect tagging, and tagging both nullifies the blacklist feature if someone wants to ignore images with that tag.

Wait, this post is confusing, you WANT solo images to have gay tags? What kind of sense is that?

Agreed with FurZ. If all solo males should be tagged gay, then should all solo females be tagged lesbian? Even after clearing my blacklist, "lesbian solo" only returns 1 image (post #20246), and the only apparent reason that it's been tagged that way is because the post is a character dossier which lists the character's sexual orientation as lesbian.

We've already been over this multiple times. Do not tag these images gay unless there is a compelling reason to do so - just because an image features a nude male, does not mean it's gay. It 'matters' because the tag would be incorrect. I do not like incorrect tags.

We do have women users, believe it or else, and to presume they are 'gay' for looking at images of nude males is preposterous. If you want to search for images of solo males, then search 'male solo' regardless of your sexual orientation. It's that easy.

get over it?

if seeing dick puts you off, then you should blacklist:

gay
cock
penis
balls
horse_cock
straight

and more. yes straight, because that involves a guy as well an you can usualy see the cock. you've got one too(i assume), maybe you oughta get rid of it so you wont be turned off when ever you accedently look down?

No, it's not presuming they are gay. It's presuming that people can be smart enough to have multiple tags that may contradict each other in topic but know that it doesn't even matter if they contradict in a cataloging system. Not in this case, anyway.

I don't know, maybe I just can't put what I'm thinking into words.

honestly.. if you are looking for dicks.. wouldn't you look for the keyword "penis?"

so if i take a picture of myself nude *gag gag* does that make me gay? tags are to show whats happening in an image not to seperate pictures for straight and gay's.
sorry for any foul images i might have put in your head X.X

Female user here. You are wrong.

Gay = male on male
male solo = male by himself

Derp derp.

I don't get why this concept is so hard to understand. If I'm looking for an image, that's what I'm going to look for. I don't want gay to bring up a bunch of solo males if I am looking for male-on-male porn.

If I'm looking for penises, I search for MALE.

If I'm looking for penises inside other men's poopers, I search for GAY.

EDIT: Note to self: Blacklist muscles.

those guys complaining about the gay tagging dont think about/care about us, they simply are tired of seeing guys, which is kinda durr for them inless they're just gona look at lesbian porn, in which case the whole ordeal is avoidable anyways...

its a matter of them thinking that 1 guy struttin the goods is worse than a guy+girl...still a cock in the picture, an you dont gota deal with it unless you click on the thumb nail...simply put, some guys complain too much lol

People just like to have something to complain about.

Oh well, gay tags on solo male images, deleting them gives me something to do.

exactly...girl says something that proves the guy is just bitching and guy logic ignores it, typical -Le sigh-

this is a prime example of why guys are on bottom(for the most part...cant say it about all guys, but there's definatly a large number of 'em sadly)

bella said:

Wut? I was saying how all people like to complain, not you.

And btw, I'm a girl too.

my bad, i took the "words exist hear" as like tuning me out or w/e, i probably shouldn't be so touchy on the subject, but it kinda annoys me when people act like its the end of the world that they see a penis when chances are, something they do like is gonna have one, with a girl in the pic sure, but its there, don't see what the difference is if its there or not as long as you do find what your looking for right?

Well, it would really suck if I were offended by a penis, seeing as I see one every morning in the shower, even if it is somewhat puny. I mean, sometimes you're just dealt a raw deal. Doesn't mean you have to get all jealous. And seriously, at erotica? Of all things? Even if it were "real", you'd expect to see proportions that bump the grading curve for the sake of its audience's titillation.

^^^ exactly what i was saying....well minus the point of view i dont got one to see in the morning...:c

I'll never understand why people deliberately try to tag wrong.

Marbles said:

well in this case, its the fact they dont wana see something and they think their wants justify wrongful tagging.

You know, you can blacklist "male solo" in the same line and it'll block images when both of those tags are present.

There's no need to tag with gay if all you wanna do is hide all male solo pics.

i would totally blacklist male solo if i knew that people wouldn't tag some badass male solo pictures that weren't explicit.

I believe that means you can blacklist "male solo rating:explicit" in a single line to only exclude the explicit male solo pictures, and still show the non-explicit ones.

Reviving topic due to something going on in another thread currently...

Another way would be to blacklist "male solo penis", or if you really wanna be sure to be safe, "male solo penis balls".

Problem solved.

Male solo =/= gay, no matter how homosexual-looking the guy theirself may look or be acting.

This. But if the guy is shoving a dildo in his ass, then it's gay.

Nope. Only penis and penis. A dildo is a toy, not an actual penis.

If there's a "Disembodied Penis" tag is the only exception I could think of to Male Solo being gay.

I don't think that many straight guys enjoy putting phallic objects in their asses, which is basically the definition of gay sex.

Ok, have you ever inserted a penis, dildo, broomstick, or any other object in your ass, and enjoyed it?

That, sir, is a trick question that I will not fall for, for if I were to say "Yes", then you would simply counter by saying that I'm gay even though it doesn't prove your point(since I am straight), and if I say "No", then you will counter by saying something along the lines of "Because only gay people do that".

Nice try.

Very nice, but my point still remains valid. If I saw a guy squatting up and down on a dildo, i'd think he was gay. If I saw a guy fucking a girl, i'd think he's straight. If I saw a lone guy jacking off to a picture of a girl, still straight.

"Your point" is nothing more than a personal opinion, and that alone throws out all factual validity of the statement, because a mere opinion cannot be declared as a fact.

What "you think" is merely an opinion, not a fact. The fact of the matter is that gay sex, or even just gay, is a term that only applies to sexual interaction between two males.

Well for the opinion part, I can say that a tomato is red, but a colorblind person can say that it's grey, which means that that widespread fact is really an opinion.

As for the whole gay thing, since this is a privately owned site, I guess that only Arcturus' opinion really matters here. But if I went out and asked any random person if that stuff was gay, the odds are overwhelmingly on my side that they'd say that it was gay.

Ultima_Weapon said:

Wrong. Colorblindness is a visual disorder. If the person were no longer colorblind, then even he/she, when educated on what colors were, would attest that the tomato is red.

As for the whole gay thing, since this is a privately owned site, I guess that only Arcturus' opinion really matters here. But if I went out and asked any random person if that stuff was gay, the odds are overwhelmingly on my side that they'd say that it was gay.

But in the end, it would still be an opinion--the fact still stands.

That was a trick statement(sort of, I guess). Tomatoes aren't actually red, and everyone who's gotten through middle school knows why.

And although opinion is opinion, the majority usually decides things. Barack Obama has a black dad and a white mom. He's mixed, yet everyone and their crack dealing grandma says that he's black. White people could claim him, but they don't, because the majority thinks he's black. He's technically the 44th white president, the 1st mixed president, and the 1st black president, but majority opinion says he's black because of the One Drop Rule, and nothing more.

What about a girl using a strap-on?

Does that mean that if they use it on a male that he is gay?
If that girl was to use it on a female, does that make the other girl straight?

It's still a dildo.

Roll 1d6. If you rolled 6, male is turned into a flat-chested dickgirl D:

THAT is one of the things that grind my gears. why call it a dickgirl if it's OBVIOSLY a really feminine dude

PlasmaFox | Arcturus | 13 hours ago | Blocked: For being naughty with regards to removing the gay tag from gay pictures.

Wait, what?

I personally wish people would tag actual gay images as such. I've added alot of "gay" tags but no on solo males, that's why I blacklist
gay
solo male
scat

I think people get a kick out of not tagging solo males or gay pics (like, two guys grabbing eachother's junk is GAY) just so people who don't actually like that stuff have to view it anyway.

i remember once there were like 30+ uploads of some comic that were all cub, non of them had anything else but tagme. i mean comon, alot of people don't want to see that shit, tag it as such.

how lazy.

It's so annoying that images that should be tagged as gay or male aren't, i've recently learnt how to use the blacklist but still in some cases it doesn't actually work, things would work much better if everyone just listened to everyone. i hate coming across images of men acting girly or other gay stuff I'm a straight man who doesn't need to be seeing these things so please people tag with consideration!

Yes, but for how long?

just search female, takes the hassle out if you don't want male, or vise versa if it's females that bug you.

cookiekangaroo said:

Fact of the matter is, some people want only females when they do such a search, so it'd have to be either "female solo" or "female -male -intersex".

I suppose you're calling me stupid then? Tomatoes are very clearly RED. If you think they aren't perhaps you don't know your colors.

What bullshit lie did you learn in middle school that makes you think otherwise? Tomatoes are red, end of story. It's not an opinion; it's my eyes and brain working properly.

Holy fucking thread necromancy, Batman!

The gay tag is for gay sex between two or more males with no ladies present.

End of discussion, locking thread for stupid necromancy.
