MemberWhy is this tagged crisscrossing? Clair is female.

MemberEven without knowing the character, that's unambiguously the figure of a professional female athlete. Unsurprisingly, though, the tags are locked to male - I'm legitimately beginning to think someone has a fetish for misrepresented genders.

Especially since ^that gets locked to female despite the breasts being literally balloons under a bikini. I don't even understand anymore.

MemberIt generally is because of -people- who use the "Tag what you see" as an excuse to tag things they aren't.
Like with this image, I see two female characters.
But someone else might see one female, and one male, since one of them doesn't have big breasts.
And since we can't "Tag what we know" (Even if that rule is broken nearly all the time to be honest. As we have to use some outside sources from images, to tag them properly.) a lot of images can be misstagged or have wrong tags on them, till either a janitor, admin, or mod, fixes it.
However, they like any other, sees things their own way.

MemberI honestly think the "Tag what you see" rule is pretty ridiculous, as it can be very misleading and often incredibly inconsistent. People will expect one thing, only to find it's another when they check the source. For example, Reggie (Whygena's fem-boy mouse) is often tagged as female because of his girly disposition, only being tagged male when his dick is shown. I understand the Admins want to keep the tagging system from being abused, but I don't think TWYS is helping that case...
