Topic: Tag Alias: inviting -> asking_for_it

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Mmmm... no. "asking for it" seems like the same thing, so why change it around?

Honestly I think inviting to be a more appropriate/more definitive tag.

I feel "inviting" to be more appropriate/more definitive though. "asking_for_it" makes me think of the more literal act of verbally asking for it.

I can't decide. Every time I think about it, I'm like "Oh, yeah, 'asking_for_it' is way better." but then I think about it again: "Ehhh, no, no, inviting is obviously superior."

-shrugs- You guys battle this one out.

I've never used the inviting tag, but I like it a hell of a lot more than "asking for it." The latter probably won't help someone unless they already know it exists. A user new to the site is more likely to search something like inviting, thus it will serve a wider audience.

Definitely inviting. Asking for it is too long, just stick with inviting. If youre asking for it, you want it like NOW. but if you're inviting it's more like you're open to something.

Idk I just like inviting.

Asking for it is specifically for sex. Inviting isn't. Thee use-base just tends to assume it has to be sex.

Having both serves no functional purpose.

I don't know.. "asking for it" almost sounds negative.

"She shouldn't be crying rape; she was sitting there in her underware totally drunk moaning out "I'm so fucking horny". She was totally asking for it if know what I mean."

"asking_for_it" is a more pejorative and sarcastic tag used in the same vein as "imminent_rape."

We include "asking_for_it" in pictures with characters in compromising positions that lend themselves to situations where they are at risk of being sexually assaulted. It's a "joke" tag used to summon up that unique situation and humor. We say that someone is "asking for it" even if they aren't LITERALLY asking to be raped.

"inviting" means just the opposite - that someone is inviting someone else for sex. We often see such tags as "presenting" or "foreplay" in these kinds of pictures, but not necessarily "asking_for_it."
